Teacher reviews

We're back. Everything is great, the kids are squealing with delight, parents are spreading their gratitude for a perfectly organized trip. My humble comments, remarks, wishes. It's a bit rambling.

Very strong teachers have been selected. The educational program is very clearly structured. Personally attended classes. The learning takes place in an interesting way for the children. They don't even notice how the day goes. It was a plus that the entire day was spent studying. The children can immerse themselves deeper into the language environment. The promise that there would be no more than 20% Russians in the groups was kept. There were children who were the only Russian speakers in the group. The teachers are very positive, they find common language with children easily and as a result - respect. None of the children had a desire to skip classes. The strong educational program probably took a lot of energy from the school management which was not enough for the entertainment program.

The trip is wonderful, and we have something to compare with. Let's start with the location - practically perfect. There are tons of cities within easy reach, and Wales is very convenient to explore.

Accommodation. Probably the best we have ever had so far. We were delighted by the spacious kitchens with a seating area, where all 22 people of our group could easily fit for meetings and even holding conversation clubs. The downside - in the kitchen, unlike other campuses, there was no microwave and no utensils at all. Another big plus for the group leader is the presence of bells in students' apartments, which eliminated the need to bang on the door with your foot to wake them up and control them.

The school is located on the territory of the university, which was originally intended for students. There are grocery and bookstores, many vending machines with food and drinks, and a fast food track arrives every evening. And another undoubted plus is that this particular university is the final stop of buses that go to the center of Bristol and Bath - it is simply impossible to get lost.

On the whole, it is quite worthy. Good attitude, we tried to fulfill our wishes.

In order:

It's a long way to go from London, but quite possible. But an excursion without an overnight stay is pointless.

Lessons are good. Strictly, one Italian was even kicked out of class for disobedience. Teachers love Russians for their responsible attitude to learning.
The price includes Trinity Exam - by speaking. Optional, but everyone wishes. This is a plus, since it is quite expensive.
Activities are varied and interesting. Good counselors. We went to Manchester, Lincoln and York for the whole day, took them out during the week, in addition, it is also quite possible to agree.
