IVANKOVA, Monika

I would like to recommend the ELC school to everybody. I´ve been studying here for almost 30 weeks. My agent advised me to study at this school. I´m so happy that I´ve made a decision to study here. Although the school is quite expensive, it is worth it. It is an unforgettable experience.

On the first day, I felt a little bit nervous but the ELC staff are really friendly, so I needn´t have been worried. After a few minutes at school I felt confident. That day everyone had to write a placement test. This test helps you to join a class which suits you best. I was in a General English class for 11 weeks. I personally believe that it is a good idea to start in this class in order to gain more confidence in speaking.

After this course I decided to join an FCE class. I had to write a qualification test to enter this class. The Cambridge class is completely different from General English.  If you really want to make rapid progress this class will be best for you. Thanks to my teacher I passed the exam with flying colours.

Now, I have been studying the IELTS course which is focusing on academic skills. We have to hand in a written assignment or do a presentation every week. Our teacher is amazing, she is always trying to help us and give us loads of useful tips.

The teachers are fully qualified and their style of teaching is excellent. They always do their best. I feel that they strongly support me. What I most like about this school is a fantastic nationality mix. Thanks to ELC I´ve improved my English rapidly and have made heaps of friends from different countries all around the world.

The huge advantage of this school is the location in the CBD. Another bonus is that the school runs a great deal of social activities such as parties, trips and excursions in Sydney. Moreover, there are English extras classes for free almost every day where you can practise pronunciation or conversation skills.
