| The teachers are really friendly and I feel really comfortable here. I had 5 or 6 different teachers and they are really suitable for the course they teach. On General English Anil always corrected my pronunciation and grammar mistakes. On IELTS Alex and Steve taught me how to face the IELTS exam and really helped me to get the IELTS score I needed.
