Betina – Argentinian – 31th January 2012

I have lived an incredible experience studying at the Southbourne School of English. I’ve never imagined finding such a warm and comfortable place with a wonderful and friendly staff always ready to help you.

The school is very well organized; the classrooms are all equipped with the latest technology. There’s also a lovely cafeteria where you can have some food while using the computers.

It is easy to get to the school as well as go to other places because there’s a bus stop just around the corner.

As regards the social programme, it offers a lot of activities such as films, bingo and well-organized excursions with competent tour guides.

I stay with a host family who are very kind and share a lot of things with me about their customs and culture; furthermore, they help me to improve my English.

Personally, I believe that Southbourne School of English is an ideal place to study, having a great time in a warm atmosphere and meeting people from all over the world.

Thanks a lot! I’d like to come back in the near future!

Vanna – Taiwanese – 16th December 2011

I have met many dedicated teachers and staff who are extremely friendly, they have been there to help whenever we needed it. The school provides students with many useful facilities, like an internet café, library and a language lab.

The location is a beautiful suburb area beside the sea. The weather is mostly sunny. I like it here. I have learnt a lot and if you need to learn more, there are afternoon classes as well.

I told my agent that it would be nice if the host family had a cat, of course I was joking, but surprisingly, they arranged it for and I had a good time with them.

The social programme is very good, there are tours and activities almost every weekend. The schedules were very good, the tour guides were professional. During the week, films are shown every Tuesday and Thursday, and quizzes or games are held routinely.

I like the school, they gave more than I expected. If I had the chance in the future, I would definitely come back again.

I’m sure this has been the best experience of my life, I could learn a lot of English (grammar, vocabulary, writing, listening, etc). All the people here have been really kind and nice. I’m sure that I’ll come back again (when I’ll have the money hahaha)… I love all my teachers and friends. It’s a nice memory for all my life.

Thanks for everything!!!

Love…

I like the school, I like my teachers, the staff, the classroom, everything. Excellent. The location was nice.

Southbourne School of English, the best! I’d like to come back again, I hope soon. I learned a lot and I’d like to spend more time here. I think that my host family is great.

I enjoyed all the activities, trips, field games, movies, beach games. If I could, I’d like to do it all again.

Ayaka – Japanese – 14th June 2011

The teachers are kind, friendly, and funny. If you know your weak point, you should ask the teachers and they’ll help you to improve it.

We can borrow books from the library, and the language lab is fantastic because there are many kinds of listening practice and there is a teacher called David who helps you.

The school offers many courses. I took an IELTS course, and it was really good for my exam.

I live with a host family. They are absolutely fantastic and hilarious. Also, they are very kind.

The school location is good. It is quiet, so we can study well and relax. It is also near the beach.

School trips are brilliant, and there are many good activities like volleyball and also there are films.

The school reception staff are all friendly and kind. After school sometimes I chat to them and when we have a question about a trip, or visa, or coach journey, they take care of us.

Khalid – Saudi – 27th May 2011

Studying at Southbourne School of English was a great experience. I’ve learned a lot about the language and English culture. Besides that I’ve made really good friends.

Good quality of teaching, you’ll definitely improve your English in a friendly and familiar atmosphere. You’ll find helpful and nice teachers and staff. Up market technology in large and comfortable classrooms.

The school organise trips in weekends, so you have the opportunity to know a lot of cities around Bournemouth. In addition, in afternoons they have activities such as films and games. You’ll never feel bored!

Tawatchai – Thai – 10th May 2011

The school is very beautiful and tidy.

I have been studying here nearly one year so I have been taught by many teachers in this school. The teachers are very kind and have individual technique to teach me and make me understand easily. I can ask them any time when I have some questions.

I have been studying in intensive course so I have both morning and afternoon class. I have studied lots of grammar by following books in the morning and I could design and choose subject that I want to emphasise such as speaking or listening in the afternoon class.

I can walk from my host family’s house to school not more than ten minutes. Before coming to Bournemouth, I decided to stay with my host family only one month and move to stay in a shared flat. But I changed my mind when I stayed with my family because they are kind, generous and nice. My room is very tidy and cosy. I’m really happy with my host family.

School has many activities for students to participate. For example, a school tour with a teacher guide at the weekend I can travel with my multi-national friends. I can watch a movie every Tuesday and Thursday night at school and I can practise my English skills by myself in language laboratory after finishing school. It opens every Monday to Thursday.

I am very impressed with the receptionists such as Shaun, Chris, Jackie etc. They are willing to help me when I need some information or document. They are very friendly.

Thanks a lot.

Andreas – Swiss – 18th May 2011

I love the location, because it’s easy to reach. Bus station right around the corner. In a quiet residential area, restaurant and shops just about 5 minutes away by foot.

The classrooms are equipped with the newest technology, there is a good cafeteria with friendly staff and a computer room for the students!

You can choose from a large range of courses from starter to advanced. Furthermore, there are a lot of exam courses.

I love to study here there are so many students from different country.  The teachers provide a warm environment and varied lessons so that it won’t get boring.

The reception staff told me to write that they are terrible but I can’t agree with that statement. If you need anything just ask, they’ll try everything to help you. They are always friendly.

I’ll be back :p
