The classes were dynamic and adapted to the interests of everybody

I had the pleasure of taking an English exam preparation course with Oana and my experience was very successful. In 3 months my English has improved a lot and I feel much more confident now. The classes were dynamic and adapted to the interests of everybody as well. If you are looking for an experience like that I truly recommend taking this course! – Paula

Very satisfactory

I signed up to prepare for the IELTS test. With only a month and a half of study the result was very satisfactory. I would recommend this academy to anyone in the same situation. Adrià

Great teacher

Laurel is a great teacher. I used to discuss the main ideas of my papers with her and we used to have really interesting talks about gender studies and social science in general. This kind of talks improved my arguments and reinforced my ideas in the texts. The course was very useful.
