I have studied at this school three times, each time for about two months, and every experience has been excellent. Every time I return, I feel that I improve and reach a higher level. I started at A2 on my first visit, and by my last time I had reached C1, which shows how effective their teaching is. Most of the teachers who taught me were amazing — their teaching methods were effective and their attitude was always friendly and professional. The social activities were also great and added a lot to the overall experience. The staff are very helpful and supportive, and their service is outstanding. I highly recommend this school, and I am already looking forward to visiting it for the fourth time!!

É até difícil de encontrar as palavras certas para avaliar a escola como merece, pois realmente é muito boa. Todos os profissionais que tive contato desde as primeiras dúvidas sobre estudar na Speak Up foram sempre claros e são extremamente preparados. Ao vir para a Inglaterra e começar os estudos não me restou nenhuma dúvida sobre a excelente escolha que eu havia feito. A recepção, os professores com os quais tive contato, especialmente a Layla, todos maravilhosos! Sou muito grata a todo o suporte e aprendizado.
