I had the pleasure of spending 9 weeks at this English school, and it was truly an amazing experience. From my teacher to the friendly and helpful reception team, including Justine and Lucas, all the way up to Farhan, the CEO, this school is filled with wonderful people.I was studying General English at the C1 level with Mat Clench, and I can confidently say that he is an outstanding teacher. His teaching techniques were innovative and highly effective, especially the audio tutorials in his Friday classes. It was the best English exercise I've ever experienced. If you have the opportunity to take a class with Mat, consider yourself lucky and enjoy every moment.This school not only offers excellent education but also lots of social activities. It is the perfect place to learn English, have fun, and create lasting memories in London.Highly recommended!
