Matteo\'s Review

I’m Matteo and I’ve been here for two days, so I don’t have lots of things to talk about just my first impressions. More Than English is designed to make students learn English, but that’s not all its designed to give students new experiences by making new friendships from all around the world, excursions, and activities. I think that making new friends is the most important thing of all, especially if they are not from your main country, so that you can communicate in English with other people. Also, activities are funny and good since they are not the activities you usually do, such as zorb football, bench ball and capture the flag and many others which I haven’t done yet. I can’t really talk about excursions yet since I haven’t done any yet, I am going to do them soon, but I can’t say anything yet.
The last point I’m going to talk about is education and classes, which are seriously organised with qualified teachers and between ten and fifteen students for each class. Even if classes are seriously organised, the atmosphere is always happy and funny and lessons are well organised so you can learn English also in relaxed way.
In conclusion, I would recommend “More Than English” to anyone who would like to have more new experiences, learn English, and make new friends!

Nicola\'s Review

More Than English is the name of an English college near Ludlow, the directors of this college are David and Claire. In this college, there are students from all around the world. This means there are people from 16 different countries. The activities are created on the organised fun so you will know what you have to do. The activities are very funny and different from each other. This school teaches you to use English in different ways and how to learn English in different ways, for example with debates.
The excursions are very good, the destinations are very good, and they also give you free time so you can go around for shopping, this week we went to Bath , it was very good because we visited some Roman Baths an then they gave us free time. The education is very good, I’ve been here for the LAST THREE YEARS and the teachers were all very good, this year we have Lucy she organises some very good lessons, because they are funny and at the same time you learn English. In the end I love More English because they make you feel like you’re at home.

Summer camp

More Than English summer school is designed to help you learn and study English in a funny way. It’s aimed at teenagers from all around the world. The people here can play, make friends, take lessons and such a lot of different things.
Teens can meet new people and enjoy their time all together in classes, bedrooms… Although they can spend their time doing activities, going to the swimming pool too. The teachers will recommend you the cheerful activities, but don’t worry all are so good.
Apart from that obviously you’re going to take some lessons 3 hours every morning. But they’re okay, cause the teachers to improve different ways to speak or use our English.
Finally, I would recommend you this experience because you are going to have a great time with the activities, excursions and of course with your new international friends.

Margherita\'s Review

More Than English Summer School is designed to encourage teenagers to use their English in different ways. It is aimed at teenagers from 10-17.
You can try some new activities like capture the flag, zorb football or paintball. You can do a lot of sports with people from other countries because, don’t forget it, you are here to improve your English.
You are also going to make a lot of new friends and you can learn a lot of things from their country. For example, I met a Brazilian girl and even if I’m very bad I’m trying to learn some Brazilian words and she is trying to learn some Italian words. More Than English Summer School there are 16 different cultures, so you can have the chance to meet people from all over the world.

There’s only one thing that I don’t like, we haven’t got any free time, so we are very tired. However, my teacher is the best. She is very funny and very nice. Lucy, I love you! Would recommend it because it’s very funny and it’s a different way to improve your English.

Viola\'s Review

More Than English is designed to teach to people from all over the world. English in different ways like with lessons, activities and speaking English are all day. It is aimed at teenagers from 12 to 16.
People can meet a lot of friends. I went with only one friend but now I have many friends Spanish, French, Lebanese, English, Italian, Brazilian and Germany. We do a lot of activities during the afternoon and the evening. My favourite activity was bowling. In the bowling, I made a lot of friends who come to more than English the day before. During activities, I learnt a lot of new words, maybe more than during the lessons. I can speak to other people using English of course!
On Wednesday, I went to Birmingham and I a beautiful library and an amazing an very big shopping centre. On Saturday, I went to Bath a very beautiful city with lots of shops. All people of the staff are nice but maybe they are too much stressed as we are not children and we can look after ourselves. Teacher is the best, I love Lucy, she is a teacher but a friend like Valentina.

summer school at ludlow

Our sons went last summer to more than english course. There was the first time we have left them alone abroad, but we always feel they were looked after incredibly well.
They learnt a lot, very motivated to speak English everywhere, made friends of different countries and did so many excursions and activities. When we went to pick up them they didn't want to return home!
The landscape is incredible.
I would definitely recommend it.

Agradecimiento a More Than English desde México

David:
Debo darle las gracias por la maravillosa experiencia que mi hija tuvo este verano con ustedes, fue enriquecedor para sus sentidos el convivir con chicos de otros países y percatarse que al final todos a su edad tienen las mismas inquietudes y los mismos sueños en cualquier parte del mundo. Se ha enamorado más de Inglaterra que antes de ir y sé que a eso ustedes han ayudado, mil gracias a Gareth y a Alma que me guiaron aquí en México, deseo sinceramente que el campamento crezca cada año porque su trato es muy profesional y cálido...
Espero que Dios bendiga a usted y a todo su equipo

Great experience in a safe place

I work as a language travel agent in Prague and working with More Than English I can feel an extraordinary devotion, excitement and enthusiasm while preparing, promoting as well as running the summer school. This is so strong that I even decided to send my own daughter to MTE. It was also an opportunity for me to go to see the school myself and experience some of the lessons and activities. The owners – Claire and David – are wonderful people, friendly, always available on the phone, email or skype to both agents and parents, always present at school during the whole programme, they know each student personally and care for each of them. The programme is super-intensive, running from morning till late in the evening without any gaps, the staff communicate with the students even during meals. Apart from usual morning lessons, the students can choose from different afternoon Get Ahead options, lots of interesting activities running for the rest of the day till late in the evening, great trips. My daughter as well as other two young clients of mine enjoyed the whole stay tremendously, had lots of fun, loved the food and the staff and they all wish to come back in the future! And I, as an agent as well as a parent, felt the girls were in a safe place, looked after perfectly, motivated to speak English all the time and coming back home with amazing experiences and new friends. I will be happy to recommend this school in the future.

More Than English Summer School

This summer was one of the most different experiences of my life. First of all, I met people of 13 different nationalities, cultures and thoughts making friendships that I’m taking with me forever. Two weeks in a beautiful big campus, with large green fields, a swimming pool, tennis courts and football fields. The rooms were big and with a lot of space. I shared my room with 5 girls of 5 different nationalities, and it was really fun!
Summer school is about classes too, but my teacher and my classmates were the best ever! We had so much fun that we didn’t even feel bothered about having classes. I had 10 classmates of 7 different nationalities.
The food on the campus was really diverse, but I hope next year it isn’t as spicy as it was this year and I hope they put salt in it. My favourite meals were croissant for breakfast, lasagna for lunch and barbecue outside for dinner.
About the Get Ahead options, I did film and dance, but I preferred film. It was funny, challenging and dynamic. There were special features like archery, zorb football, paintball and cardio tennis which were so much fun I can’t describe! There were some excursions too, to Bath, Birmingham and London: so much fun! We saw a lot of England and its culture.
I had an amazing summer, so thank you More Than English for making it happen.
