Huge disappointment

WORST school I have ever gone !!
DON’T GO THERE
Especially if you are from Europe

I chose this one by an agency because it was the cheapest , I know now it was a big mistake, I know why it was the cheapest now

I had a B1 level when I came, they hadn’t be able to give me classes for my level
With the teacher of their “best” level, I spent one morning waiting to receive exercises, I asked many times, but she ignored me. I paid one morning for nothing.

And when I suggested to the administration to talk about that, they ignored my proposition, and just said “sorry you’re not satisfied with the class”
Whereas this teacher told me , at the end of her class when I came to complain about how useless it was to come in her class this day , I don’t have the time for you, blame the School, don’t blame the teacher”
Of course the school was to be blamed, but this teacher too, I can ensure it
A joke

I had 5 teachers, only one was competent ( Bill ). Among the others : one who is not able to do a dictation correctly, one who just want to finish and leave the class as fast as possible, leaving the students talking with each other during 1h30 without saying nothing ( when I asked him his utility, he hasn’t been able to answer me ), another teacher who gave listening exercises without giving any corrections , without asking to students if they finished the exercise before switching to the next one ( and when I suggest to give a correction, she told me “oh interesting idea” )
A joke

The level of the classes, of the teaching, of the teachers, is sadly sadly low

If you’re A1 level, or you are just looking for a graduation , go there , the graduation is totally easy to get, they give it, I saw students graduated with a A2 level, maybe even A1
I don’t know their test, but it must be possible to cheat, use any device or a dictionary, otherwise I don’t understand how some students have been graduated

If you’re B1 or more, never go in this school, worst idea ever

Besides their administration is extremely slow, they are not able to give deadlines when you ask something, they are unavailable and let you with the intern,
They said you can come to talk with them, but better sending email, because when you come to talk with them, the day after, you have to repeat everything

For example I said many times I didn’t the afternoon’s class, she said it was possible
And once I was in the week with only the morning class, their intern, or assistant, told me “oh it’ not possible to have only the morning”
So I had to pay a week of afternoon classes where I didn’t go, ridiculous

And of course, they never admit , tell, or write that they made a mistake, or they forgot something, no, no
That’s not in the school policy apparently

Plus, when you’re explaining to a teacher he or she is wrong, they are offended
Most of the students are Asian and say nothing during the classes
Administration and teachers are not used to having someone telling them something is wrong in their teaching , they are not able to listen and improve , they are totally stacked in their low teaching level

Administration doesn’t aware of the level in their classes
They probably just try to have a maximum of students in each class, make money, and whatever if the teaching level is ridiculous

You are from Europe , B1 level ? Even A2, don’t go to this school, never
I regret it deeply, I lost my time and my money with them
And it also cost me mental energy

I could write a lot more about this school, but that’s probably enough to give you my opinion

Never go there
