Testimonials

Ramon

"I’m really satisfied about my English course at TLC. I attended individual tuition for 2 months and I think I actually improved my English. On my first day at the school I was welcomed like an old friend and I discussed my level and difficulties with the teacher. I was too nervous about my IELTS exam but after my 9 week course, I became more confident about both my exam and also my ability in English. Finally I got 7.5 in IELTS which is a great result for me. The Language Company really helped me reach my goal. Not only did my English improve but I also got the IELTS score I needed. The individual tuition was completely structured to my needs and I think every lesson had a great value. I’ll return to TLC, because I think professional and human qualities are very high!"

Albert

"My experience at The Language Company has been nice and helpful. The teachers are always willing to help and they adapt the level of the class to your knowledge. Make sure you get the chance to improve your English here. Thank you very much. Hope we will meet again."

Natalia and Abel

"Our experience at TLC couldn’t have been better. The teachers have been very kind to us, especially Alison who has made us feel at home despite the fact that our home is a long way away in Spain! During the 6 weeks we have learnt loads and really improved our level of English. We have achieved our goal!"

Dong Uk Lim (Oogie)

"I have learnt a lot of things from Alison. She is very kind and smart. Frankly, I couldn't speak English well when I came to TLC in September 2015, but with Alison’s help my ability to speak English slowly improved. By working on my pronunciation, discussing various news topics and making flashcards, I can now speak English better than before. I strongly recommend TLC."

Pam and Ian McInnes

"Hola! If you want to learn a foreign language and have fun at the same time, TLC is the place to be. Our tutor Alison tailors the classes to suit your needs and interests. We have met some interesting people and made new friends. It is not all hard work, we have a good time too, especially on international evenings where we share food and friendship with students from other cultures."
