Participant Reviews

“My teacher was calm, patient, and brilliant. He explained everything smoothly and with utter patience. All the questions that I had, he answered calmly without a sigh of frustration or anything. He took his time and did not rush me. I'm definitely offering him to my friends as well”

Ruzbeh, 5 Sep 2025

“I learned a lot! Fantastic teacher!”

Marta, 5 Aug 2025

“The course was very well structured and understandable. Everything was explained very well and there was no information irrelevant to the current topic, making it easy to follow the lectures. Also, all of my questions were answered in a way that I could understand, even when it was related to a topic that was not part of this course.

For me the course was a bit too fast, and it might have been better to have a bit longer course with more small breaks and to leave more time to solve the two complicated exercises alone.

It was a great course, thank you! :) ”

Anna, 18 Dec 2024

“Really good, excellent tuition, really useful and practical advice. I am sure we will be undertaking additional courses.”

Carl, 11 March 2024

“I thought the course was very well structured, and real-world examples were used, unlike a lot of online courses.

The instructor was able to answer all my questions and explain things properly when they didn't make sense.

The course was mostly practical, which is ideal when trying to learn a language.

I'll be joining back for the advanced course.”

Ian, 3 November 2023

The course aims to provide the feedback and input you can only get in the classroom and offers plenty of interaction with the teacher in a small group while providing good value for money”
