MovingOn Course Bangor

I attended MovingOn Courses between October and November 2023. It was a useful course because you live in the same house as your teachers, have all your meals with them, and participate in all activities with them. The small class sizes (a maximum of 4, in my case only 2 people) provide more opportunities to speak and ask questions during lessons. The MovingOn Courses is a truly immersive 100% English program all day long (Gavin is very strict about this, but it's what all students want). The atmosphere at the guesthouse is enjoyable, particularly because the course is dedicated to adult students. Sonia is an enthusiastic teacher and also a good chef (which is very important!!).

Bangor is a pleasant place for studying and learning English. I hope to come back someday. I highly recommend it.

Good investment of time and money to improve your English.

Really satisfying experience. Totally immersive course where you can only speak English but in a friendly atmosphere with very small groups. I was only there for 1 week but it was very intense and useful with fun speaking classes and study trips with Sonia. I hope to repeat very soon!

Movingon

MovingOn courses is different, because in this course it is possible speak 100% english. I spent 2weeks here where I could improve a lot my english. During the morning there are the lessons with teachers by a group max4 people with the same level. I was lucky, I took a lot of 1:1 class because we were different level among students. 2 days a week there are the trips with Sonia and the other students, where it is possible discover beautiful place and practice english in different context. Lunch and dinner with everyone was very funny. It was another opportunity to practice and learn English. Sonia, Gavin and the teachers are expert, professional and friendly. They will make you feel at home in every moment.

MovingOn Courses review

This is my third visit to MovingOn Courses but the first time I have found time to leave a review.

This year, during one week, we were 4 students divided into 2 levels for the classes. As usual, we were all mature students - 30 to 60 years old.

We had class with local teachers, Brian and Olga. They are both great teachers with lots of experience and adapted the classes to our needs.

Living with teachers and other students is a great way to learn. It is 100% English and non-stop English.

Gavin and Sonia always listen carefully and correct you when it will help improve your English. There is a whiteboard in the kitchen, in the dining room….By the way the food is varied and tasty. Sonia is a great cook.

The study-trips are not just about visiting local attractions – expect corrections and a review of mistakes and new vocabulary at the end of the day.

MovingOn Courses offers a relaxed but professional atmosphere that I totally recommend.

MuvingOn courses

I found this course by searching online, I was there for 2 weeks in May. Exactly as the description on the website says, the classes are a maximum of 4 students, in my case we were only 2 students for a week and 3 the next week. The afternoon trips are extremely useful for learn new words and to see part of the N.I, which is a very beautiful country anyway. We even had extra free activities, but best of all, the whole course was 100% English. As for Sonia and Gavin and the professors they are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and sociable. I absolutely recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn English, Sonia is also an excellent cook.

Un corso veramente utile

Ho trovato per caso questo corso navigando in internet, leggendo le recensioni sembrava diverso dai soliti ed ho deciso di provare. Posso dire che ha soddisfatto appieno le mie aspettative. Gli insegnanti sono molto preparati e soprattutto pazienti perché disposti a correggerti mille volte (anche sugli stessi errori). Con la giusta dose di volontà e dedizione i risultati sono veramente incredibili perché con loro si parla inglese 12 ore al giorno.
Consigliatissimo!!!

Enriching experience

I've had the opportunity to spend a week at Mouving on courses and the truth... it hasn't disappointed me, quite the opposite! The combination of: English classes in the morning (with different teachers and therefore different methodologies that enrich your knowledge), sharing lunches and dinners with Sonia and Gavin, as well as cultural visits / excursions / walks in the afternoons accompanied by Sonia, has done for me this week something more than a simple English course. It has been a very enriching experience on all levels. I also had the opportunity to meet other students, which enriched this week even more on a personal level. I would also like to highlight what an excellent cook Sonia is, who made me delight with each of her dishes. In addition, I would like to comment that the city in which they are located (Bangor) is charming, next to the sea, and invites you to disconnect.
To finish, I would have liked to have been able to stay longer. Personally, I think the ideal is at least 2 weeks. So don't hesitate, if you want to improve your English, Mouving on Courses is the right place
