studied Business EnglishNot recommend
If you are in an advanced level and you want to improve your English professionally look for another school. Ive never experienced so many highly unprofessional teachers with such a bad teaching qualities at one place. This school might be good for beginner & intermediate level, however, I believe if you pay little more for another international & recognized school you will get more benefits out of your money.
This school was for me nothing but money & time waste.

studied Business EnglishStafford House Chicago
Hello everyone!!! I will try to explain in few words why I recommend this school. This year I had the great opportunity to study at Stafford House Chicago. I stayed there for 1 month and a half and the experience was so amazing, the staff was so helpfull and very attentive. They are prepared to help you whenever you need and this is very important when you are away from home. My teacher was very professional and prepared, performing activities very interesting that really helped me to improve my english. I had the opportunity to make a lot of friends and some of them I will never forget.
The school is located near one of the most beautiful parks that I've ever seen: The Millenium Park, with the cloud gate sculpture, one of many beautiful attractions that Chicago offers. Chicago is a very interesting city to explore and the school are also prepared to help you with this, planning a lot of activities to explore the city and to make new friends. So, based in my satisfactory experience with this school, I'm very confortable to recommend the Stafford House for your next experience!!!!!

studied Professional EnglishValuable experience!
As part of the Project Management Program not only did I enjoy the course and the challenges it posed, but the program has significantly increased my knowledge and in turn my confidence. Studying in a multicultural environment has enhanced my communication skills, enriched my life experience, reinforcing my personal growth. Every class, professor and classmate has contributed to my rich education. I am thankful for what Stafford house stands for and I have no hesitation in recommending this course to others considering undertaking it.
