What our students say

  • "I'd recommend ELC because it's a professional school, it's well-located and overall there is a good environment for studying"
  • "The course has been very useful, practical, with clear aims and thought-provoking. The insight and content of the course were very focussed on the main issues of CLIL. The course was very well developed with clear insights into what CLIL is about"
  • "The teachers are really friendly and I feel really comfortable here. I had 5 or 6 different teachers and they are really suitable for the course they teach. On General English Anil always corrected my pronunciation and grammar mistakes."
  • "My host family helps me with English and I will miss them a lot. I was worried before I arrived if they might not be friendly and if I could understand English but all is OK . Everyone I have met at home and in the town is very friendly."
  • "I checked all the CLIL courses available and chose this one! Thanks for proving that I've made the right choice!"
