"Very recommendable"

Ana Paula Ribeiro Quibe, student from Mozambique

Bayswater is the best school I have attended to study English. The teachers are very experienced, cautious and patient with the students. In a short time I was able to see progress in communication and confidant. I recommend it to anyone interested in studying English in a welcoming, fun and vibrant environment. I loved the recreational activities program and its organization. The residence where I stayed is very organized and clean, with the advantage of having a suitable environment to study and relax in the gym and free and fresh spaces. And another thing that fascinated me the most is the distance between the school and the residence, which was very close and with availability of almost everything I needed, restaurants, grocery stores, different stores, pharmacies, anyway. Talking about my experience in Cape Town and specifically at Bayswater School was so good that it would certainly take me a whole month just to express my joy and satisfaction. Congratulations to the Bayswater team for the quality and thank you for the wonderful hospitality between all times.
