"Wonderful experience!"

Zlata Tskhovrebova, student from Russia

l definitely recommend this course. The classes are very interesting and fun. The administration is very friendly and ready to help you with any question. My special thanks go to teacher Mr Iron. His teaching and explanation is very understandable. Time flies during the lessons. There also is a speaking club where you can meet and chat with another students. I enjoyed this course very much. Hope I can come soon next time for a longer stay.

"I'm glad I chose this particular school, I liked everything about it."

Inna Stratulat, student from Kazakhstan

I liked the teaching and explanation of the course material. My special thanks go to the teachers Damoen and Sara. I would also like to emphasize the openness and willingness to cooperate of the school manager, who is supportive and responsive to the student's preferences. The teaching material and classrooms are good. However, I would like to draw the attention of the school to the formation of the group of students, if there is a strong age gap in the group (from 14 to 45 years), it reduces the quality of teaching. Because teenagers like to play and talk more in class, while adult students are consciously studying and are hindered by the energy and talkativeness of teenage students. It becomes difficult for a teacher in such groups to be good to adolescents and adult students alike.

Munyendamutsa Alphonse, student from Rwanda

At my first day day in Istanbul, i enjoyed the country,organization and transport arrangement from airport to different cities. after reaching to hotel, i went to look for the school location,as i reached on Sunday to start my course on Monday, I went to my school on Monday and well received by beautiful receptionist and helped me a lot as new student.The school is located in a floor house at 6 th floor, so i liked how classrooms are partitioned and each classroom to have its own equipment helping students to learn in a comfortable place, nice boards where teachers expose , lessons,projectors ,school chairs and arrangements.

I loved much the teachers at this school, they are intelligent, humble and always want students to perform high by using all teaching methods to help students understand, participate and use English language at their maximum level, indeed those teachers always do as much as they can to help students achieve their goals.

The school is well located in a place where any student can reach easily at the entrance of metro stations, buses and other many facilities that may help students as access. Facilities are also there as needed as possible, as per example each course level has its own booklet where a student can do all activities, reading,writing,exercise and so on. recreation activities are there but not enough may be because of small space reserved for recreation. housing is also good and partition is well done as mentioned above but it should be better is recreation zone is increased.I like more and more the methods of teaching at this school.

"Fantastic"

Khaled Ahmed

I came to Istanbul to study at Bogazici University and they demand from me 85 score in Toefl IBT, I joined first general English course in Cambridge Academy from Elementary level till Upper Intermediate level. It took from me 8 months then I joined Toefl course and what I can say about Cambridge Academy is that it was one of the best experience I have ever been.

The teachers all native, certified and experienced, and the teaching system is very strong they follow up with us all the time, gave us exams every week and for each unit, made activities and fun games a lot and went every course on a trip.

Finally, I got 90 in Toefl and now I'm studying in the best university in Turkey and I'm so glad that I choosed Cambridge Academy to study English.
