Aston Academy - previously MovingOn Courses

Two weeks 100% English pays off!

Good experience! Two weeks complete English immersion done and now I´m much more confident with my English! All teachers were great, and I was able to have both group classes as well as one-to-one classes. And the classes were just one part of the English immersion - I didn´t manage to escape English from lunch, dinner, study trips, other activities

Thank you very much, dear Sonia and Gavin!

If you want to improve your English in a full immersion course at the cost of just an hotel accommodation, with MovingOn Courses you can. We enjoyed two weeks in an all inclusive formula Stay and Learn, having a comfortable bedroom ensuite. We had intensive sessions daily with five different professional teachers. There are study trips (by car) almost every day to interesting places around Bangor and near Belfast (which is about 30 mins by car o train). There is a friendly atmosphere during classes, lunches and dinner prepared by the kind and super efficient Sonia. During the stay, you have to speak always in English with colleagues and teachers and you might interact with people living there, with teacher beside. After two fantastic weeks we are now really more confident with English, we learned a lot of new words and idioms. Definitely, we had a stimulating summer time!

Totally different to others courses

MovingOn courses is something different. It is an authentic 100% all day English course. This adds value to your time and money.
Moreover, the learning method, including grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, presentations and a lot of interaction between students and teachers make it something unique.
The course is an extraordinary experience. You feel at home in a totally professional environment. The Directors and hosts Sonia and Gavin are professionals, with the help of Karen who also lives in the house.

A great experience

I’m a 18-years-old girl and I spent 2 weeks in the MovingOn course.
At first I was a little bit worried about the course because I thought that i wasn’t in the right place because of my age; but at least i enjoyed a lot this 2 weeks.
We always stayed together like a family with the other hosts and teachers doing a lot of activities.The rule that was everything in English was very useful because was the best way to improve quickly.
The lessons were very interesting and we had always the opportunity to speak and express ourselves without problems.
If you want to learn English this course is the best you can find! If you are 18 or 81 it doesn’t matter because Sonia Gavin and the others will always make you feel welcome and part of a big family!
Great experience!
Thank you

Great course, fantastic experience!!!

I spent 2 months in this course and it was fantastic! My english improved a lot and now I feel relly confident with my speaking, my listening and my writing. Teachers taught me lot of things related to my intrests and to what could be useful to me. In my opinion living with the teachers in an immersive english environment made the difference from the other courses I attended. In addition, the atmosphere is lovely and soon, after my arrival, I started feeling like being home. The only bad side is that you will miss the course after it will be finished.

MovinOnCourse

Hi guys! I spent two months in this Academy, two amazing months during which I met lots nice people from Poland, Spain and Mexico. A typical week at MovingOnCourse is composed of lessons in the morning with different teachers usually three, then lunch together with students and teachers, it's like a lesson, they correct you and help you to improve your English skills during common life situations. Two afternoons per week, there are study trips in the afternoon and you can visit very nice places, BUT remember they aren't tourist trips but lessons, so the teachers explain lots of things to you, you can learn more words in a short time, I think that this type of lesson is very useful. The most interesting and important thing about MovingOn Courses is that the course is 100% English, I can confirm and gaurantee that this rule is very important. Gavin is avalaible for every problem and he does everything to give you the best accomodation and service.
Sonia cooks for everybody, she is a good cook, the food is always different (fish, meat,cheese,vegetables ) and always tasty! She does everything to help the students, for example if you can't eat meat she can cook another thing for you... Karen is a teacher who lives in the house, she is young, very qualified, with international experience and she helps you always (also at 11:00 p.m.). The athmosphere in the house is like a big family, Bangor is a lovely town and Belfast is only 30 minutes by train.After this experience, I recommend this course, if you can. you should attend for at least one month because when you break the ice you can get to know lovely people. I say Thank you to Gavin, Sonia and Karen for these months....see you soon for the second chapter.

Amazing Course and people

I was in Bangor last August and I felt at home, because we were like a small family. I really liked the learning method, the teachers were also very good and professional (Karem, Amy and Bryan) and I learned a lot and well in a very comfortable environment. I also met lovely people and made good friends that I would like to see again. I want to thank Sonia and Gavin for their hospitality and certify that the course is really 100% in English. In addition to the classes there was also time for leisure and to have fun. I still remember with joy the Friday nights in the pub and the movie sessions on Tuesdays, and the movie Mamma Mia!
In short, a highly recommended experience. Worth it! And by the way,
The MovinOnCourses teachers are the best!
