Aston Academy - previously MovingOn Courses

L’esperienza migliore di sempre

Una delle esperienze migliori della mia vita. Cercavo un corso intensivo per adulti, pratico e che allo stesso tempo mi permettesse di vivere qualcosa di nuovo. Questo corso ha superato tutte le mie aspettative. L’hotel dove stavamo era accogliente, pratico, completamente ristrutturato. Partecipare ai corsi della mattina, essendo nello stesso edificio, era comodissimo; studiati su misura sugli studenti, gli insegnanti meravigliosi, bravi a spiegare oltre che bellissime persone, che sostengono e incoraggiano in continuazione. I proprietari della casa sono disponibili e gentili. La differenza infatti la fa proprio Sonia, la proprietaria, che 3 volte la settimana ci portava a vedere posti incredibili dell’Irlanda del Nord, mostrandoci posto i unici e spiegandoci la storia di un popolo entrando nella cultura e nell’anima del posto. Il cibo preparato da lei, inoltre, era meglio di un ristorante. La presenza della nonna poi è speciale, ridere delle esperienze era esilarante. Ogni mercoledi andavamo a fare sport al porto, bellissimo. La città di Bangor è stupenda, casette colorate, negozi e locali tipici, di fronte ad un panorama unico, il mare. Consiglio a tutte le persone che come me credono di avere dei limiti con la lingua, di vivere quest’esperienza per avere la forza di dire “ce la posso fare” ma allo stesso tempo vivere emozioni incredibili.

Eureka

I took English classes in Moving on Courses with my teenage daughter for one week.
I can assure you that my child was enjoying stay in this academia and it change her approach to use of English language to more practical. She has told me a lot of times, that she wish her education would be organized this way: only one thing at a time, full immersion, friendly atmosphere and no grades (yes, child can learn something without grades, eureka!).
Honestly, I recommend this academia for young learners too.

Great experience for fair price

Friendly and professional teachers, interesting study trips, fantastic home-made meals, comfortable accomodation. I highly value small classes - teachers tailor the lessons to your needs. Study trips were well prepared, always interesting, ending in a cosy café where we discussed what we had learnt.:) Students were different nationalities, age (24-65) and proffessions - it was great to meet interesting people! Teachers actually available 12 hrs a day (hats off, Karen, for your effort!!) Sonia, our host, is a really great cook - I will never forget her Irish stew :). Comfortable rooms and all facilities (washing mashine etc.). I felt very welcome. Thank you, Sonia and Gavin, for your hospitality, you do a great job!!

A wonderful experience

I have spent a week at Movingoncourses studying English and it has been a wonderful experience.

Sonia and Gavin have been lovely and welcomed me as part of their family.
The English classes have been very enjoyable and productive.
The house is very close to different services and commercial areas. But I recommend that you try Sonia's food. She is an amazing chef
This experience has been a discovery and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn or refresh their English. The Movingoncourse team makes you feel at home. It is something that I will repeat again because one week has done little for me.
Thank you very much for everything guys!

My experience

I was one week in Movingon course. My experience was very nice. First, I felt it was a small family. The House Is very quiét and it is to important for learnt English. The method that they use to teach is very different in compere primary School and High school system. The most importan things is to practics in a real situacions, they explain grammar during this situations and then also to speaking and listenning. They have a lot interesting trip where we learnt a new vocabulary and expresions.

The food is tasty. All days, they offered variety of foods and differents flavour. The last night, they prepare a specially dinner, it is very nice. My mistake was to reserve Only one week but may be come back the next year.

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.
