Kaplan International: Liverpool

I really liked the location, it is close to the water and the train station, so super convenient. The teachers were so nice, I really felt like I was understood, no bad answer, they always explained everything, and I overall felt really good. Because of the constant working in pairs/groups and the small number of people in the class, we had to communicate all the time so I practised having to really think about the excercises and talk about it. Also, on the breaks between the lessons, we socialised with other students so I practised small talk and simple conversations, which led to great friendships. I would recommend this school to everyone, it’s such a cool experience to have.

Overall organization: deceptive. Personal attendance: deceptive.
I stated very clearly that I needed high-level grammar lessons plus improve my writing skills to achieve beyond 7 in IELTS. I was given an entry test, where I scored a proficiency level. I was put in an intermediate-advanced level class, mixed with pupils enable to write a single sentence in English. Teachers knew far less grammar than myself and, what is worse, did not have their lessons prepared. They spoke a very basic English, with a range of vocabulary that would not get a 7 in IELTS.

Moreover, the website offers 28 lessons per week in the course I paid for (IELTS Supplementary). I was given 15 lessons per week. In Spain, we call this a CHEAT.

And I won't spend my time talking about accommodation because there are no adjectives to describe how awful they were.
