studied English Summer CoursesThank you very much, dear Sonia and Gavin!
If you want to improve your English in a full immersion course at the cost of just an hotel accommodation, with MovingOn Courses you can. We enjoyed two weeks in an all inclusive formula Stay and Learn, having a comfortable bedroom ensuite. We had intensive sessions daily with five different professional teachers. There are study trips (by car) almost every day to interesting places around Bangor and near Belfast (which is about 30 mins by car o train). There is a friendly atmosphere during classes, lunches and dinner prepared by the kind and super efficient Sonia. During the stay, you have to speak always in English with colleagues and teachers and you might interact with people living there, with teacher beside. After two fantastic weeks we are now really more confident with English, we learned a lot of new words and idioms. Definitely, we had a stimulating summer time!

studied Professional EnglishTotally 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.

studied English Summer CoursesA great experience
I’m a 18-years-old girl and I spent 2 weeks in the MovingOn course.
At first I was a little bit worried about the course because I thought that i wasn’t in the right place because of my age; but at least i enjoyed a lot this 2 weeks.
We always stayed together like a family with the other hosts and teachers doing a lot of activities.The rule that was everything in English was very useful because was the best way to improve quickly.
The lessons were very interesting and we had always the opportunity to speak and express ourselves without problems.
If you want to learn English this course is the best you can find! If you are 18 or 81 it doesn’t matter because Sonia Gavin and the others will always make you feel welcome and part of a big family!
Great experience!
Thank you

studied English Exam PreparationGreat course, fantastic experience!!!
I spent 2 months in this course and it was fantastic! My english improved a lot and now I feel relly confident with my speaking, my listening and my writing. Teachers taught me lot of things related to my intrests and to what could be useful to me. In my opinion living with the teachers in an immersive english environment made the difference from the other courses I attended. In addition, the atmosphere is lovely and soon, after my arrival, I started feeling like being home. The only bad side is that you will miss the course after it will be finished.

studied General EnglishThe best English school
Hi, I spent four weeks in Bangor in „moving on courses”. It was a great time for me. I had an opportunity to speak English 24/7. No one is speaking another language than English so finally you have no choice. It’s a total immersion with 100% speaking English. Apart from having “normal” lessons you spend all your day with other students, teachers and school’s owners (Sonia and Gavin; Sonia is also an excellent teacher). People are together during lunchtime, dinnertime, afternoon and evening. You have no time to be bored. All the time someone asks you a questions and you are forced to answer them even if you have no idea what they are asking about :-). Apart from English, our lunches and suppers were very tasty. It was a big choice of food and you can always eat whatever you wanted. If you are going to stay longer for sure you’ll put on weight :-). The atmosphere is very friendly and you are treated like a part of the big family. It’s a great place to learn language as well as have a good time.

studied General EnglishMY SECOND FAMILY :)
Here I am! I spent 7 weeks in MovingOn Course, in this amazing family! At the beginning, I was worried about my English and the possibility to improve it, but now after these weeks I can say that my listening and my speaking have really improved! I have to say "Thanks you" to Sonia, Gavin, Karen, Brian and Amy because they encouraged me and they taught me a lot. I can say that is really a total immersion course with 100% English guaranteed! If you really want to improve your English, you will have to go to Bangor, to MovingOn course!
They make you feel welcome and part of a big family! I hope to come back again to enjoy my life there with them and with the other students! It has really been a beautiful experience! Thanks for everything!
