"Exactly what I wanted and needed ! Teachers are so concerned and give a lot of advice"

Fabienne PIAUT, student from France

Lexis is a good school ! I was looking for courses to prepare the IELTS exam, and I had exactly what I needed.

In only 2 weeks, my teacher prepared me at the 4 parts of the exam. And I can say that she is so concerned with all students, and give them attention and advice.

The school have a very good location in Scarborough.

"Perth's experience was important things in my life."

Natsuki Sugio, student from Japan

I really enjoyed the classes, but listening and speaking English was a little difficult for me.
The teachers were funny and kind. The location was good. I could go to the ocean whenever I want.
Facilities were good and Lexis is clean.
I really enjoyed the activities. I could join rock climbing, BBQ and conversation club. These experiences were nice memories.
I stayed in a home-stay and a student house.
The host family was kind and the foods were delicious.
Student house was close to Lexis, but I had to use a common bathroom. I think common bathroom is not good.

"Is this course available for just one week?"

ingvar grasberg, student from Sweden

We have a minimum booking period of two weeks I am afraid. This is because students miss lessons on day one due to orientation and some of their final day due to graduation.
