Aston Academy - previously MovingOn Courses

Totally different to others courses

MovingOn courses is something different. It is an authentic 100% all day English course. This adds value to your time and money.
Moreover, the learning method, including grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, presentations and a lot of interaction between students and teachers make it something unique.
The course is an extraordinary experience. You feel at home in a totally professional environment. The Directors and hosts Sonia and Gavin are professionals, with the help of Karen who also lives in the house.

MovinOnCourse

Hi guys! I spent two months in this Academy, two amazing months during which I met lots nice people from Poland, Spain and Mexico. A typical week at MovingOnCourse is composed of lessons in the morning with different teachers usually three, then lunch together with students and teachers, it's like a lesson, they correct you and help you to improve your English skills during common life situations. Two afternoons per week, there are study trips in the afternoon and you can visit very nice places, BUT remember they aren't tourist trips but lessons, so the teachers explain lots of things to you, you can learn more words in a short time, I think that this type of lesson is very useful. The most interesting and important thing about MovingOn Courses is that the course is 100% English, I can confirm and gaurantee that this rule is very important. Gavin is avalaible for every problem and he does everything to give you the best accomodation and service.
Sonia cooks for everybody, she is a good cook, the food is always different (fish, meat,cheese,vegetables ) and always tasty! She does everything to help the students, for example if you can't eat meat she can cook another thing for you... Karen is a teacher who lives in the house, she is young, very qualified, with international experience and she helps you always (also at 11:00 p.m.). The athmosphere in the house is like a big family, Bangor is a lovely town and Belfast is only 30 minutes by train.After this experience, I recommend this course, if you can. you should attend for at least one month because when you break the ice you can get to know lovely people. I say Thank you to Gavin, Sonia and Karen for these months....see you soon for the second chapter.

A wonderful experience

I have spent a week at Movingoncourses studying English and it has been a wonderful experience.

Sonia and Gavin have been lovely and welcomed me as part of their family.
The English classes have been very enjoyable and productive.
The house is very close to different services and commercial areas. But I recommend that you try Sonia's food. She is an amazing chef
This experience has been a discovery and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn or refresh their English. The Movingoncourse team makes you feel at home. It is something that I will repeat again because one week has done little for me.
Thank you very much for everything guys!

My experience

I was one week in Movingon course. My experience was very nice. First, I felt it was a small family. The House Is very quiét and it is to important for learnt English. The method that they use to teach is very different in compere primary School and High school system. The most importan things is to practics in a real situacions, they explain grammar during this situations and then also to speaking and listenning. They have a lot interesting trip where we learnt a new vocabulary and expresions.

The food is tasty. All days, they offered variety of foods and differents flavour. The last night, they prepare a specially dinner, it is very nice. My mistake was to reserve Only one week but may be come back the next year.

MovingOn Course Bangor

I attended MovingOn Courses between October and November 2023. It was a useful course because you live in the same house as your teachers, have all your meals with them, and participate in all activities with them. The small class sizes (a maximum of 4, in my case only 2 people) provide more opportunities to speak and ask questions during lessons. The MovingOn Courses is a truly immersive 100% English program all day long (Gavin is very strict about this, but it's what all students want). The atmosphere at the guesthouse is enjoyable, particularly because the course is dedicated to adult students. Sonia is an enthusiastic teacher and also a good chef (which is very important!!).

Bangor is a pleasant place for studying and learning English. I hope to come back someday. I highly recommend it.

L’esperienza migliore di sempre

Una delle esperienze migliori della mia vita. Cercavo un corso intensivo per adulti, pratico e che allo stesso tempo mi permettesse di vivere qualcosa di nuovo. Questo corso ha superato tutte le mie aspettative. L’hotel dove stavamo era accogliente, pratico, completamente ristrutturato. Partecipare ai corsi della mattina, essendo nello stesso edificio, era comodissimo; studiati su misura sugli studenti, gli insegnanti meravigliosi, bravi a spiegare oltre che bellissime persone, che sostengono e incoraggiano in continuazione. I proprietari della casa sono disponibili e gentili. La differenza infatti la fa proprio Sonia, la proprietaria, che 3 volte la settimana ci portava a vedere posti incredibili dell’Irlanda del Nord, mostrandoci posto i unici e spiegandoci la storia di un popolo entrando nella cultura e nell’anima del posto. Il cibo preparato da lei, inoltre, era meglio di un ristorante. La presenza della nonna poi è speciale, ridere delle esperienze era esilarante. Ogni mercoledi andavamo a fare sport al porto, bellissimo. La città di Bangor è stupenda, casette colorate, negozi e locali tipici, di fronte ad un panorama unico, il mare. Consiglio a tutte le persone che come me credono di avere dei limiti con la lingua, di vivere quest’esperienza per avere la forza di dire “ce la posso fare” ma allo stesso tempo vivere emozioni incredibili.

Good investment of time and money to improve your English.

Really satisfying experience. Totally immersive course where you can only speak English but in a friendly atmosphere with very small groups. I was only there for 1 week but it was very intense and useful with fun speaking classes and study trips with Sonia. I hope to repeat very soon!
