Testimonials Show
I'd recommend ELC because it's a professional school, it's well-located and overall there is a good environment for studying.
Giampiero Bianchi - Italien
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.
Chia Chang Hsu,Taiwan, Study Year Programme
The course has been very useful, practical, with clear aims and thought-provoking. The insight and content of the course were very focussed on the main issues of CLIL. The course was very well developed with clear insights into what CLIL is about.
