The calibre of the teacher (Celeste) - outstanding
Trustpilot
The experience was okay. The value is definitively competitive and the staff and teachers were very receptive and friendly. For Dutch A1 (first level of Dutch ever) I think the content could be better structured, there were 2 teachers in 6 weeks that they did not talk to each other in the lessons content. I think the use of technology could have been better.

Our teacher Charlotte was very friendly and helpful. She addressed allquestions and topics raised by the participants in a competent manner.

My 1month in the school was wonderful. Luckily my class had only 5students. I was in IELTS preparation class. I made nice friendships with my classmates. For me our class teacher Steven, he was really professional and always gave us really good advice for each students. Especially thanks for him. He and my classmates made me more comfortable with my English.

Thank you so much !International School is near the best of attractions in London, and the teachers are very good !

CELTA is a very short & demanding course but it was valuable and a great learning experience. I have definitely come away with a clearer understanding of how to teach English effectively. The feedback and teaching practice was really helpful and I could see my improvement at the end.We could have had a bit more information and guidance at the beginning of the course. At times it was overwhelming but also a great experience. We had amazing teachers and a great group and this is what made the course bearable at times. I do recommend the course but time management & being organised are essential for a course like this one! Thank you IH. Great work :-)Best wishes.Sonia G.

IH is obviously a good English School for foreigners. Good teachers, efficient staff, good location, next to Covent Garden, well-stocked snack bar with friendly staff, free and very good and various social programm (afternoon outings), nice students, pleasant atmosphere...However, I was surprised by two things :- despite all the level tests carried out beforehand, I found myself in a class of 6, and then 7, students (30+) with significant gaps in level.- the student residence, classified Gold, where the school accomodated, me did not fully meet my expectations in terms of service quality, which was not really suited to a short stay.
