Testimonials

Spanish for kids — at a camp by the sea

My son spent two weeks at the Málaga camp and came back really happy. The environment felt safe, the staff was caring, and the activities helped him gain confidence with his Spanish. We’d definitely do it again.

Italian language and culture are served hot — in Napoli

Definitely the best place to learn italian – a language school in the heart of bustling Napoli with great teachers (mille grazie a te Gina) and plenty of activities. Where else can you obtain a certificate in italian and become an official pizzaiolo at the time?

Learn Mandarin faster than you think possible

I have been attending Chinese classes at that school for three months so far, and I have already made tremendous progress to the point that I am now able to have small conversations with locals — which is crazy, because three months ago, I didn’t have any knowledge of the Mandarin language!

English for Juniors — the Apollo way in Limerick

This was the best experience of my life. Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

Expanish Buenos Aires — the perfect place to live and learn Spanish

A really wonderful school! The staff were great, and I loved my teacher Claudia. I also enjoyed the wide range of extracurricular activities. Expanish is conveniently located in a charming townhouse in Palermo, which adds to the experience. If you’re an adult looking to learn Spanish at any level — and have a lot of fun while doing it — I definitely recommend Expanish in Buenos Aires!

Learn English in the heart of London

Studying at Frances King is an enjoyable way to learn English. I have improved my speaking and writing skills – lessons were never boring; we learn through practising and meeting other nationalities.

Learn Korean, live Korean — in Seoul’s most welcoming hagwon

This hagwon is wonderful! The teachers are so kind and genuinely want you to succeed. The school offers a personalised approach, with a strong focus on speaking — all in a supportive and encouraging environment. They also include two activities a week in the tuition, like visiting palaces or going out to eat, so you get to practise Korean in real-life situations with the help of your classmates and teachers. The campus is modern and welcoming, with snacks, coffee, tea, and Wi-Fi always available. All the staff are incredibly kind and make sure you understand everything!

Berlin is better with BWS — and so is your German

The teachers were lovely and very friendly, they made it so easy to improve your German level (especially speaking). You will learn so much German, it’s worth it!

Memories made to last

This is an amazing school with lovely and professional staff. I´ve enjoyed every day I spend there; classes are made to your level, the activities after are very interesting and Saturdays in London are just incredible. I have the best memories from Studio Cambridge. I hope to go back someday soon.
