General English & Creative Methodologies

My experience was really good, I enjoy and learn in every class, the teachers are nice and make the study very joyfull, the staff is always ready for help you and that is something pretty amazing.
The location is good, very close to the tram and buses, is very easy to acces. In terms of facilities I think that the school make a very good effort, everithing was clean, new and usefull.

The overall experience was great. Teachers were professional but also fun. Classes were educational and entertaining. The after classes activities were great to get to know other students. The only thing that I didn't exactly enjoy was the location of the school because of the people outside in that area but it is fine if it is still daylight outside.

This school was very good, I met the person very sympathic. My teacher, Raquel, was really good, this class was funny and interested. Everyday there were activities with the school, so it was cool. I went out with my friends after class. I liked communicate school.
But my family was not friendly and was far to Manchester, she didn't speak with me so is not good for improve my English, the only positive point was my room, it was big and I had my bathroom. there are evenings where I didn't eat because she didn't call me.

Very good location of the school. Good classes with proficient teachers.
Nice and clean facilities, (though lacking a micro-wave.)
I did not particularly like the school-books, which I found rather confusing with dense texts, jumbly exercises in different colours and fonts. Nothing for students with dyslexia, ADHD etc.

what I have preferred in class was there were different foreign students. It allows me to discuss and understand a lot of tradition about each country.

I have had 2 teachers and Alexander Kassia, there were very nice and kind to me and all other students.

The school is located in the center of the city.

I loved the city, the classes, the teachers and the students. Classes were made of multicultural groups and I was able to meet different kind of people. The classes were very dynamic: we played games and went to different trips around and outside the city. I was challenged to practice my English in every context when I was there.

My host and her family were very kind and helpful. They really made me feel part of the family. They were concerned about my learning. Very often they asked questions about what I had learned or how they could help to maximize my experience and improve my English.

The school' staff was very nice and helpful. They always gave me all the information I need and they always tried to adapt my classes in order to make them as most advantageous as posible for me.

It was a very good experience and the teachers in the school were also very good and friendly.
They were very interested in the students and do everything in a way that the students were comfortable as possible.

Studying at Communicate School was a very good experience for me and I really had a lot of fun. The teachers were highly qualified and they gave excellent knowledge to the students in the classroom. The location, for me is not very good, I don't like the centre of Manchester because the streets were very dirty and different people on the street were horrible. But outside of centre Middleton was good. It's where I stayed. If I tell someone else about my experience in the school, I will share everything good about that. Perhaps choose another location or country. I see you have school in Malta for example.

My experience with the school was very good because the teachers were very friendly and they had a lot of knowledge. My accommodation was good too and very near from the school (ten minutes walk). The activities were interesting for me and was possible for me to meet other students from different levels. The classes were very helpful and I could improve my English (increase my vocabulary and learned grammar.)

Hi,
I have had a great opportunity to try some classes from Communicate School. I have had a great opportunity to try some classes from Communicate School. Even though they are a small school, they have qualified professions, good quality and easy to understand teaching materials.
Not to mention the great location and warm welcome from staffs and all of team.
I felt very happy and satisfied with the level of school and chance to study with stunning classmates from different places.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to invest in your English learning.

The school was in a good location, and I had a great teacher. Also, the atmosphere in class was really nice - not too heavy nor too light. You can "enjoy" your class while studying. Thank you!

School:
It was easy to find in the middle of the town. The rooms were clean, but the walls were too thin (We could hear everything from the class next to us.) with circulation on the street which was sometimes noisy.

Teachers:
Were very professional, and gave me motivation. They were comprehensible.

Housing:
After the first week, I had to change my house family because there wasn’t any social contact and they had bad cooking.

My next housing was fine, but the house was near the highway (Man-Leeds) and there was too much noise. I didn’t have a table in my bedroom to learn either.

I will change my house family in 10 days, because they will be moving in a new house.

Negative:
The cost of trips (Metro Coach) in Manchester is too expensive. If you move in the middle of the month, Metrolink doesn't accept to pay back the cards you don’t use!

Trip Airport - House Family:
The school took 50 pounds, but the taxi only cost me 25 pounds!

Learning English at Communicate School was a very good experience in my life. In three weeks, I improved my English vocabulary, my grammar, and my pronunciation, because there was a lot of speaking. My teachers were very patient and very comprehensive. One of the things I liked the most in Communicate School was the conversation class. The school is located downtown so it is very easy to find it.

Communicate school gave me fantastic times for 3 months. I spent one of the beautiful times of my life. My teacher was very great, supportive, very kind and patient. He always taught interesting grammar methods of English. I had never been bored. The classes were small but lovely. The school doesn't have a lot of students there. It was important for the school that students learned something. The students came from very different countries, which meant that I could learn other cultures and languages.

The school location is very easy to find because it is almost at the city centre. I can go for coffee and to other shops (but it wasn’t necessary to go for coffee because the school allowed us to use the kitchen and microwave, and they gave unlimited free tea and coffee). Communicate School had 3 or more activities per week. This gave me the chance to see different places and meet the other students from different countries. We spent beautiful times. Communicate School’s employees and owners are very nice, polite and helpful, and they always have big smiles on their faces. When I needed help, they sorted things quickly.

In sum, you should try the privilege of Communicate School. In my opinion you won't feel sorry with your decision.

Three things I have to highlight about the school are:

1. Commitment of every teacher with their students: They all appeared to me as well-dedicated to the personal needs of everyone. The teacher encouraged me to do my best and go for my goals in a realistic way.

2. The teachers kept a professional profile at every moment, but they were genuine and authentic in their opinions though. You had a real person in front of you, which made me appreciate diverse faces of the English character, an important part of knowing a language for me.

3. The mixture of expertise and knowledge of the whole staff was based on their previous experience of learning a new language or being a foreigner. In my opinion, this gave them a closer approach to the process of learning English itself.

Things why I choose the school:

1. It is a family run business, and it seemed to me that the administration could be more committed with the organization of the school.

2. The possibility of having One-to-One classes tailored to my personal needs. Especially, to improve my oral English.

3. The number of students per class is low.

4. The information on the web site showed me that teachers have different specializations.

5. Pictures on the web site show classrooms had good illumination and the furniture is well arranged (not traditional).

6. It is in the centre of the city.

I do not have any complaints except that I wish I could have been there longer.

It was a very excellent and nice experience with Language International Study in Manchester, UK. Everything was in a high level - the reception, the personnel, the teaching staff, and the studying materials. Regarding the housing building, it was very nice, safe and clean. The cleanliness was as described on their online webpage. (One note though: I wish that the total of students did not exceed 12 students – my class had 15.)

Also, one of the best things was the professional preparation made before joining the course. A very very special thanks to Anne Hordijk who really made everything easy and was a very cooperative and active person.

Of course, I will recommend this to all of my friends and neighbors.

I had studied 6 months in Communicate English school. I recommend Communicate to everyone who wants to learn and improve their English. I had spent a very amazing time with Communicate's students and staff. Everybody was nice and friendly. I would like to say thanks a lot to all of them.

I hope to study again at Communicate English School.

I really enjoyed my trip in Manchester, and this school, Communicate School of English. I improved a lot because of the teachers and all the staff who were very understanding. I could do what I wanted, and worked on my different skills with different lessons. I came to work on my listening and my reading, as these are the skills demanded for my TOEIC test, though I also had the opportunity to work on my speaking. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for a longer time, which was too bad because I would have really liked that. I worked very hard to prepare for my test, and I didn't have enough time to make the most out of all the activities, but I was able to play football with the manager of the school and other students. They were friendly.

I have spent 4 months studying in this school. I remember when I arrived I was not able to speak good English, and my writing skills were awful, as well as my listening. I thought that it would be impossible to improve all these weaknesses in such short time. However, I was wrong - it is possible. If you study hard, evein in just 4 months, it would be possible to achieve a suitable level of English.

I started from the Pre-intermediate and finished the course attending the Upper-intermediate class. Finally, I was just a few steps away from the Advanced one. As a result, I think that The Communicate School helped me reach my goals and improve massively my English skills.

As for the teachers - personally, I think they are brilliant. They are so professional and well-organized, and at the same time are amazing as people. All these 4 months have been useful and pleasant. Now I am able to speak in English and to communicate with everyone because of them and their efficient teaching method.

I would like also to talk about the location and the facilities, which are really good and efficient. The school is located in the middle of the centre of the town and it is definitely easy to reach. The activities organized in and outside the school are really well-planned and are so important for the social life of all the students. Also, it is a crucial way for the students to meet people, to discover the city and to find out places and facilities that only the natives know.

The only think that I don't like (I am so sad to talk about this) is the strict policy about fees. In my opinion, the Communicate School should be more flexible and look after its students considering that the majority of them are living abroad in an expensive country. In addiction, I think that the Director should give more possibilities to attend more challenging classes, because it is the only way to improve rapidly!

The school is very well located, easily accessible, and with good facilities and teachers. I recommend this school.

I didn't spend a long time in Communicate School but I liked being here very much. I am very happy I had a chance to attend this school. It's a very friendly place. I wish I could stay here longer. I met lots of very nice people, both students and Communicate School's team. Lessons were very interesting and useful. We talked a lot and learned a huge amount of new vocabulary. If you want to become more confident in your speaking, you should come here. The location of the school is very convenient; it's exactly in the city's centre.

My experience with this school was excellent. I was fine since the first day. The secretaries were patient and very sociable. Camilla was a teacher I had, and she was very friendly and she helped me a lot to improve my English. As for the location, I would say that is good, because the center is located in Manchester.

I want to thank you for all the help you give to the students all year. Sometimes, I take this for granted, but we are actually really lucky to be managed by you, and I'm not sure if all the other English schools would put as much effort as you do. So please, just carry on like this. For me, you are great!

I have only one word to describe the school: Excellent. When l was looking for a school in Manchester, l wanted to attend a school in the city center that had a family approach. Of course, l was wondering about the level and the cost. This school offered many choices for beginner and advanced students.

I therefore chose this school because it was only this school that met my expectations.

I thank everyone who work in this school.

I had a fantastic time at the school. Everybody was so nice and friendly in the college; I had a really good and fun time. I would like to recommend the college for people who are planning to study English in Manchester. Thank you very much everybody! I hope to see you soon!

I think that the location of the school is in a very good position. Also the school have nice room, cosy and bright.
The classes are good. You can speak and meet a lot of people come from to very different places in the world. I know new friends and I'm very happy. About the teachers, I think they are great! I have the possibility to know some of them out of the school, during the social activities and I learn much. Speaking about the activities I think they are nice but I would like are more, because is a good way to improve the language and also to socialize!

Thanks a lot!!

It was a very good personal experience. I met a lot of people, who comes from the different countries. it's very interesting to share different cultures.
I liked my class, people are very nice but sometimes, we were too much and so it was difficult to practice the English language. The location of the school is very easy because it's in the city center. My teacher Victoria is really a good teacher. She is patient and energetic. I have learned a lot thank of her.

Excellent quality of teaching,
Excellent school location.
Excellent organization.

Great teachers and managers, They make you feel very welcome and help you a lot. A warm and friendly and pretty place. I recommend it so much! :)
