FEEDBACK

“I was one of the five finalists of the Suzanne Furstner Scholarship and I have completed my TESOL from Oxford TEFL, Prague. I want to thank Cactus for offering opportunities to teachers which allow professional and personal growth. The experience was extraordinary and I was trained by experts. Though the course was intense, I enjoyed every bit. Thank you once again!”

“I had a great time in Brooklyn. The school has very good teachers, nice staff, a great view and small classes. I'd love to go there again. Thank you!”

Stephanie K

“My view as a parent is that the programme in Denia was excellent. Tayo is much more confident in her Spanish and has enjoyed writing and speaking the language a lot more.
The family and the accommodation was just perfect as she got an opportunity to practise her Spanish all the time. She is a very fussy eater but she enjoyed the cuisine she was served. She had a great time. Denia is quite self contained with a lovely coastline and I would recommend it for teenagers and families. The whole experience for an educational trip was just wonderful.”

Maxine

“The school is one of the best I have been to in terms of teaching and extra workshops and cultural activities available to students. My host family made me feel very welcome from the start and lived very close to the school.”

Sarah B

“My teacher's humor and artistic skills makes her delivery very effective indeed. The school is conveniently central and fit for its purpose. Everyone is friendly and professional. Murcia is a very interesting city, very beautiful and warm. The people are very friendly and the food is excellent. Can't miss it!”

Petra

“Bath is definitely a good place to learn English. The teachers are extremely competent and very friendly, the social activities are great and there is a really good atmosphere. It’s great to meet people from different parts of the world and at Bath you definitely find it!”

Paulo

“The lessons were very well structured and easy to follow. I was a little apprehensive as I'm a beginner. But the staff were helpful and understanding.”

MaxPower

“The teacher was excellent, he knew how to balance different knowledge levels of the students.”

Barbara

“I have just returned from a 2 week language course in Florence. Everything was great, the course was well organised and information beforehand was good. The accommodation was perfect for my needs and an excellent location for the school. The teacher was really good and very helpful swapping things around when need be. I loved it and will definitely be signing up for another course next year.”

Hilary Houze

“I wanted to let you know that Phoebe had a really great time in Valencia. The family she stayed with were delightful and Phoebe got on with them really well. I think she has plans to return to the school next year for 3 months to try and perfect her Spanish even more (!). From a parents' point of view, it was fantastic and I will be recommending you to others.”
