He creates a sense of confidence and a warm, friendly atmosphere, even when you are far away from home. Thanks to his professionalism, kindness, and genuine support, the school becomes a place you are happy to come to every day. Lucas, thank you sincerely for your care, support, and humanity.

Una fantastica esperienza che non dimenticherò mai. Sono stata a Londra per migliorare il mio inglese ma ho trovato una famiglia composta da amici provenienti da tutto il mondo e lo devo alla scuola e alla bravura degli insegnanti ma ancora di più ai social programme e le gite fuori porta che mi hanno dato la possibilità non solo di visitare posti nuovi come Canterbury, Cambridge e Brighton ma anche parlale e conoscere nuove persone. Da qui il mio inglese è migliorato notevolmente! Grazie mille Speak Up London a presto! ☺️
