Student Testimonials

Learning and improving my English was one of the purposes when I came to England (Reading) for the first time, and I am glad to say that I would have not chosen better with this academy during my 2 month period here. Although at the beginning I had doubts about other schools and TELC, the appealing price and amazing work atmosphere of the last one completely convinced me. Moreover, I’m more than grateful to Kate and Lucy, respective teachers, and the most brilliant receptionist Kasia, for their professionalism and effort apart from that sense of humour that made the classes very entertained. Therefore, for all these reasons I would highly recommend this school to everyone who is interested in learning English but at the same time to spend a great time with people that make you feel like you are at home. Thank you so much *****
