EC Brighton - David
Hello,
I’m now back in Switzerland. Strangely, the weather in England was much better.
The school was well organized. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The teaching quality was heavily dependent on the teacher. Of the six teachers, three were very good. Their classes were demanding and kept up a good pace. The other three teachers were average. The lessons were too slow. I found it a shame that all the lessons were based on the same didactic pattern. Over time, it got boring.
The host family was perfect. They took a lot of trouble. The house had a garden with a big outdoor seating area. My room had everything I needed and the food was good.
I would especially recommend this school to 18-25 year olds, because there are a lot of very young students in this language school. At 38 years old, I was almost a grandfather. Nevertheless, I enjoyed going to the school.
Thank you again for your wonderful support.
Best wishes,
David

Dear Yalea team,
It was great. My time in England helped me a lot. The school is very good and the teachers are very friendly. My class contained 10 students and they all came from different countries. We spoke English all day.
The host family welcomed me with open arms. The food was very tasty. Unfortunately, I did not spend much time with my host family because I made new friends quickly and spent most of my time with them. If I went again, I could imagine staying in a student residence or apartment.
For the transfer, everything worked perfectly and was just as you said: I got back without any problems. The train connection from Brighton to the airport was very good. I would definitely recommend it.
Best wishes and thank you for your help,
Stefanie
