Review about Hampstead School of English in London
I received an excellent language practice, living in an English family, I advise everyone!
This year in August I studied at Hampstead School in England (Hampstead School of English London). Before the trip, I doubted for a long time what to choose: living in a residence or in an English family. But in the end, on the advice of SMAPSE managers, I decided to choose a residence in the family and was not mistaken! I was extremely pleased with English hospitality, friendliness and courtesy. And, of course, I got excellent English practice, communicating with family members every day. Our house was located in a very picturesque and peaceful place, 30 minutes from the school, so it was very convenient to get to it. I want to share real photos of the house where I lived, and I hope that my review will also encourage someone to choose an English family for study in England!
Dear SMAPSE! Employees:)
Your company has very, very well organized my study tour in November 2014 in London. Thank you for writing, calling and recalling all the important details that I would have missed without you.
School: HAMPSTEAD SCHOOL OF ENGLISH LONDON
Program: Teacher Immersion Course
You were there every minute that I was preparing for the trip. You were near during the flight (Msk-Lund-Msk). And, of course, in London itself I constantly felt your presence. After all, you regularly asked me in all sorts of instant messengers, whether everything is fine. On a very tedious and hated me stage of document collection, you completed your work by 200%. You were even ready to call the university and arrange for a certificate from the place of study, when I did not have time to do it. What to say ... You were looking for my somewhere in a suitcase lost during the flight ...
I can not list here all the points for which I am grateful to you. So just say thank you for your high professionalism!
I am very glad that I followed all your advice and recommendations.
Our family was very pleased with the cooperation with SMAPSE. We wish you to grow and prosper, a low bow.
Thank you! :)
