I took an intensive English course last summer (mid-July/mid-August) at ICE. My teachers (Marco, James and Sarah) were very knowledgeable, professional, kind and friendy. The school is in the city centre, two minutes walk from the Angel tube station, in a beautiful neighbourhood, full of shops, restaurants and services. I was lucky enough to live with one of the other teachers who not only helped me to improve my English, but welcomed me into her home and made me feel as a part of a wonderful family. This experience will remain in my heart forever.
I have studied here for 4 months and recently finished. Overall, I can say its an average school which provides a somewhat decent education with 10 to 15 people in classes. But sometimes, it can reach up to 20 people when they merge 2 different class. From my personal experience, I had a good teacher (Richard) and made very good friends during my education. However, sometimes teacher can let his personal views around different cultures get into way and treat his students differently with positive and negative attitudes. If you are asking to many questions, some students can get all the answers easily but some could not be that lucky. Also, if you think the hygiene of facilities is an important aspect for you, you shouldn't expect that from this school. Because, even though most of the students complain about the situation of WC and other rooms, management likes to ignore them.
I had a really good experience studying at ICE during 8 weeks in 2019. Since the beginning until the end, everything was perfect! The staffs were very professional and friendly. I had the best English teachers ever, everyone with a special particularity: Stephanie was very encouraging, Marco was very funny and Richard a very interesting person! And all of them were kind and excellent at teaching. I strongly recommend this school! And on the social programs I met very special people that become my real friends!
I have liked the course; it is very useful in my opinion and it provides what I need at this time. I realized that with this course, I have improved the level of my listening and conversation a lot, and I also understand that I have a long way to go, ...actually my English is in progress. About the teachers, they are well prepared and very experienced. Definitely met my expectations! My teacher is good at teaching, she is clear when explaining. Beside this, she has a good knowledge of the English Language. She is available for us all the time and that, makes me more confident. She always makes us practice and develop conversations and encourages all students. During classes, the pronunciation is checked all the time. We do homework every day and it’s good, because you can memorize all the content of the lessons. The course develops very well every day. I would like to do this kind of course once a year or, whenever I have free time to dedicate to it.
