I had a really great time at a language school in Brighton. I only studied there for 11 days. The teachers were fantastic, with very nice students from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Spain, South Korea, Turkey, Germany, and the UAE. I learned a bit. Now I can communicate in basic English. I have fond memories of that time and of Brighton itself.
Fahad
The truth is that it was a disappointing experience for me I lost money and time. I filed a complaint, but the teacher did not take it seriously. Unfortunately, the institute's management falls short. They do not listen to student complaints, there is bias, or some people do this on purpose. Moving ahead to the next level is dependent on the teacher's mood. If you're a friend, you can advance to the next level without any tests or experience. This drove me to leave this school and change it. I attempted to obtain my money back in the usual manner, but I could not find a refund provision in the terms and conditions of the website or the school, Every individual's journey is uniquely their own.

The school is in a good location, just a few minutes walk from the city's main attractions and several accommodations. The teaching method is very immersive and improves all aspects of your English. I really enjoyed the experience I had learning with them.

My experience at the beginning was weak because everyone in the class was of the same nationality, Arabs, and the renovation work in the external building was disturbing inside the class. In the middle of my studies, I was surprised by the improvement, but I felt a decline in my studies because I was stuck in the same level, so I contacted them to promote me to a higher level, knowing that I was still in the first level, but they refused and it became clear to me that they were waiting for my studies to end soon to promote me to the next level.

I would not go again to this school. The teacher a quite good and nice but the most lessons where to easy for me. But the biggest shock was for me as my 60 years old colleague who was with me at the school only for two weeks was sent back from a lesson because she was couple of minutes late. It’s ok for younger student to discipline them not always to come too late but not for an older professional person who had a serious reason for the delay.
