Firstly, I want to say I really like studying here, it's a wonderful time in my life. The teachers are very humorous and friendly. (John is very kind and helpful, Kate is friendly and lovely, Alison is a walking-dictionary and a Whovian) The classes are very interesting, full of happiness and without stress, I can exactly feel my English is improving every minute. Btw, Scarborough is a worthwhile place to visit.:-)
