Review about Thames Valley Oundle School Summer School TVSS
I really liked the summer program in English: lessons are useful, interesting, and entertainment is the sea.
A pleasant opportunity to study in a real English school from the world of Harry Potter: full-fledged education courses are not available to everyone, but such options for the summer are great. Friendly teachers, friendly communication and sincere participation do not interfere with subordination. It is interesting to talk with guys from other countries, a lot of foreign students take part in summer courses.
For the good school success, my parents present me a trip abroad, to study English: I study at the school with focus on foreign languages, so English is very importnat for me. We addressed Smapse.
I liked the summer school very much (studied at TVSS Oundle School Thames Valley: guys from all over the world, cheerful counselors, teachers are very kind and attentive. The only thing was that I was first assigned to a very weak group: first we all wrote an entrance test, and either I was worried or I did not rest from the road (I arrived the day before), and I did not pass it very well. I was not very interested in the classes, but the teacher noticed that it was very easy for me, and transferred me to another, more advanced group - that was very cool, very interesting and useful. Before leaving for Smapse, I was given an assistance phone - you can call, whenever you like, and on any questions. Fortunately, I did not need the emergency line, but I saw how the parents liked this concern, they immediately relaxed - after all, I was the first time abroad.
Thanks to Smapse, thanks to the school of TVSS Oundle School Thames Valley - England , I will definitely be back!
