"Time full field in 100%."

Marianna Teresa Zych, student from Poland

Classes were small with a good atmosphere. Very nice teachers. Location outside of the city center but with a lots of facilities. Time while lessons and after them full field in 100%. What I'd like most was that I had 24 hours contact with English. I didn't like 20 or more people groups coming together from the same country.
