IELTS Preparation 20 (I20)

I really enjoyed the course, that were held by wxcellent teachers. The only flaw at school is probably a lack of new technology and media in the classes.

Classes and teaching : good organization. For children 7-9 years good organized with breaks during the morning

Locations to improve for not having dedicated rooms to have your lunch

Activities : very good

My teacher julie was amazing. She treated us well even if we were staying in brighton just for one week. The IELTS course was very interesting and stimulating, i was fascinates by the treated themes and the learning method used. The school was open during the afternoon and we always eat and studied there. The place was clean and well manteined. Thank you.

I liked the classes, because we talked a lot about Brighton’s advantages and disadvantages and about the touristic and not so touristic places. I found it very interesting. I also found it good that we had not much homework and I liked the one homework we had.
I liked the teachers, because they were all nice and funny.
The location was good, too, because it was near the sea, so if we talked about the sea, I could imagine it very well.
I liked the facilities from the outside and I liked the classrooms, but I didn’t like the entrance.
I didn’t participate to any of the activities, but I think the football activity sounded good.

It was a very good academy with a clean environment. The receptionists were all friendly, and the teachers were excellent, especially in the IELTS class. There were many good and diverse activities to participate in, and the host family was very friendly, providing a very good place to stay.

The tests on the first day were only about reading/writing, the teachers were late in class (3 times in a week), the teacher changed 2 times in 2 weeks without any warning from the school, there was no program or any feedback from the teacher. Additionally, the school was not very clean: dirty toilets and the bins in the school were always full.

The people work in the college was so understanding when I wanted to change class. The professors were very nice, friendly and I have been a good feeling with her. The students were very nice and not in the judgment of our English level. The host family was really nice, sympathetic and the conversation with their were really interesting to know better the English culture. The view of the college on the Pavilion is just incredible. The Dave’s orange marmelade was soooo tasty, I love it !!! The host family is for me a lovely memory!

I like the classes, I learned how to talk in front of a group.
The teachers were good, the activities are very entertaining and I had a good time getting in contact with other people.

The housing was not so good the first day , we were 4 students in a room and we had no wardrobe ,it was not nice for a 1 month stay, but my father who was with me spoke with the school and they changed my location to a wonderful one which a charming family that my stay a fantastic experience!

One experience very good , teachers very good , location of school and my home is 50 minutes but is ok . I really liked this experience, two weeks very amazing . My English has improved a lot in this school. People is very nice and friendly.

I liked the Brighton pier and I no like visit to lewes castle because is very boring. The food surprised me because I didn’t expect it, food delicious . My host parents are very nice , always worried about the time we’ll arrived at home

The teachers and classes were very practical and activities were very interesting.

Activities in the afternoon was fun. My favorite was mini golf. Also enjoyed small class with people my age.

I really enjoyed the school and it was so instructive and funny. Usually I don’t like to’ much school but in this vacation i loved it.
The activities was cool and interesting and i loved it. The housing was good, the bedroom was a little bit small but it was ok.

My two-month stay was truly exceptional. I do not have much to compare it with, but I came back home fully satisfied with everything I experienced.

The school was located in the center of Brighton, which made it a very easy place to access, and many other unique places were easily accessible from the school as well. The school advised me on which bus ticket to buy, which was extremely convenient.
The staff was friendly and I never had any problems reaching out to them. The teachers were great too, every one of them knew their subject well. I was highly satisfied with the level of preparation for my IELTS exam.

I did get very tired after attending both morning and afternoon classes five days a week, and had to reduce the number of afternoon classes to about two per week. I found the activities in them too easy, but the additional hours made me exhausted anyways. Same was the case for a few other students.

The classrooms were spacious and quite comfortable. I was disappointed by the toilets, though, because in the women's toilet there were only two or three stalls working out of five (or six? I'm not sure anymore), and in one of those the toilet barely flushed. Sometimes there was a lack of toilet paper in some stalls, and you had to take it from others. The three toilets that weren't available were never fixed during my stay.

The host family I stayed with was very friendly and welcoming, though, sadly, I didn't get to spend much time with them since they were working most of the time. I loved my room a lot, it was very cozy and pretty, and had enough space for any of my belongings. It was cleaned about once a week by the mother of the family.
The only two downsides were the lack of curtains on my window (it was a window in the roof, so privacy was not the issue, it was the light) which I got used to pretty quickly; as well as the lack of table and chair where I could write or draw. To be fair, I didn't need it too much, but it was still quite upsetting not to have one.

The activities provided by the school were highly entertaining and educational. On my first week I went on a trip to London, and after there were a few other trips as well. The organizer knew the city well and was a nice and friendly person himself. We also had a barbeque and some basketball games (I didn't attend the games, but they were enjoyed a lot by the other students).

Overall, this was an undeniably great experience, and I recommend the school to anyone who is thinking about learning English in Brighton.

The school has a good localization, has a place where you can eat something and it's next to the supermarket where you can eat cheaper also, near to the beach, center of the city and the bus station.

The classes has a few students where you can fell comfortable to talk and make question if you have, the teacher are always open to answer it.

I like how the classes work, you can always watch a level up to make sure if you are in the right level.

I didn't like the school doesn't have a microwave for example, this make the student spend a lot of money with some food that doesn't healthy.

It was an excellent experience.

The location of the school in Brighton was just in front of the sea (3 min walking from the beach) in the city center. Classes were adapted to the knowledge of my kid (beginner) she started to speak English. We booked only for 1 week, program explorer, because I didn't know how it will be. I regret not to book 3-4 weeks, she will progress more than she is already. We had a warm welcoming at school and very good teacher, Madame Brigitte.

We had a very lovely staying with our host family. It was a huge house, 5 min walking from the bus station Beaconfields Villas Top. We needed about 15 min by bus to reach the school. The location was very calm, only the seagulls waked us up in the morning.

We will definitely come back next year.

The size of the classes was very good, neither too big nor too small. I had two different teachers and they both had their own way to teach, mostly positive. The location is perfect, because it is so close to the center and nearly every bus stops there. I really liked that there were voluntary activities you could easily join. The building was ok, but at the toilet several washbasins and toilets didn't work at all, except downstairs. I liked my housing, my host mom was really friendly and I had several options for a bus to get to school.

The teacher,Dominik was very friendly and funny
The boys loved him very much
Barnus had 4 activity leaders in the afternoon, the girls who were at the first week were very friendly and helpful as well. Yes,they were Risa and Anna

And about the school itself? The kid’s building is very old and smelly downstairs,where the kids learn and spend most of the time in the morning

But the activities were great and enjoyable in the afternoon

BLC is located at the centre of Brighton, close to the Pier, the beach and downtown. The staff was very friendly and well organized. However, only teachers were native speakers.

Well, in order. I liked the lessons, but some teachers followed the textbook too much. It so happened that I had 5 teachers and most of all I liked Fred and David. Brighton, itself, the location of the school and everything I liked so much. Very short distances and you can walk everywhere. Activities I also really liked. Brigitta, David and Reza made them amazing.

I really enjoyed my time in Brighton, it is a beautiful place.
In relation to the Bfigton Language College, I am a little disapointed. Once I arrived, people there informed me About where was to take part the english clases (a specific classroom). Then my teacher arrived (Mark). He was very polite, but unfortunatelly, no one had informed him about the specific subjects related to the clases I had asked for, previously (financial and tax issues). He had not even been informed about the previous questionaire I fullfiled. So, the first two days, the english classes were very general for me (Mark try to focus them in financial and tax issues, but there was no material related to such specific subject).
Besides, the learing books included a DVD for listening, but in the classroom, there was only CD recorder player , so during the two first days it was no posible to do any kind of listening (so Mark read for me some texts, thanks Mark!!). Finally, Mark got some CDs so we could do listenings, and also got some financial learing books so we could also focus our english clases on financial and tax subject.
In my opinión, It would be necesary that the college improves the material resources and tols (computer in order to be able to Access to different webs or podcasts in english, DVD recorder, etc).
I would appreciate that if I answer a questionaire detailing the kind of english subjects I am interested in, the College was ready for providing such kind of teaching.

Thanks in advance.

I will repeat the course again next year to improve my skills

I liked the activities and the activity leaders.
I don‘t liked the Food .

The Location of the school is very good at all the teachers are very nice .

It was good but if they use more online tools it will be In terms of housing was far away and would prefer to be close to the Institute without using the bus to go and return

I have excellent experiences in the Brighton college and the teachers very good and great, I like every things in Brighton college I'm going to join the course next year also I will recommend it to my friends in Saudi's Arabia

My teachers were helpful and friendly. The classes and facilities were clean and tidy. It's a well organized College in general.
I lived in a small apartment close to the school.
I didn't join the activities since I stayed with my mum, so I can't rate these.
The location is very good - not far from the beach, not far from the shopping area and it is not far to get very good food!

I liked the lessons very much. The lessons were varied. For example, the afternoon classes, it included a lot of topics to talk about, like religion and politics. The teachers were quite involved and interested in all students. I've made some friends and we spent some time together. I stayed with my cousin so I didn't participate in any group activities or stayed with a host family.

Very good teaching sessions, quick assessment of my level, relevant, good selected material exercises. One day spent on walking for sightseeing including guided tour to the previous police station. Very interesting.

Very poor administrative performance, Tuesday morning, 16 August I was informed, that I was assigned to class training in the afternoon as well (and had been invoiced & had paid for this as well).

After having shown my course details, the staff informed me that a booking mistake had happened - and that the fee for the afternoon lessons would be refunded to my credit card. No refund has been carried out so far.

I had booked a room at New Steine B&B/Hotel - worked fine.

My experience was positive. After the preliminary exam I felt they made a mistake with my English level because I barely understood what was around me but as soon as I started I manage quite well the lessons and liked it very much, my class and my teachers. I had a private accommodation on my own. I couldn't attend all the activities because some days I felt tired and other times the weather was so bad.

The experience was beautiful. They have loving and very dedicated teachers. All the staff of the institute have very good disposition. I can definitely recommend it.

I found the school very good. Everybody in the school was really friendly and helpful.

The location is just excellent.

The school organizes activities after class. Fortunately, it was not peak season, so the classes were small so we had more time and opportunity to practice and learn.

The teachers were good, seemed very qualified, and were willing to teach you. They followed your reactions and actions to be sure you understood everything correctly.

I really enjoyed my stay at the school. I am very pleased and satisfied.
