"I really liked the school, the teachers were lovely, I didn't expect that I would have been so comfortable."

Gina-Vasilica Chitan, student from Spain

I like everything in general, especially the residence because I met a lot of people, the classes were very good, the teachers were very nice. What I liked least about Dubai was the weather because it was very hot.

"A place where good teachers and good learning meet in a great environment."

LUIS RIVAS GONZALO, student from United Arab Emirates

It was easy for me from the first moment with Alejandra.
The teachers (Michelle and Marcel) are amazing and it´s so easy and fun to learn.

Classmates from different countries give a lot of richness to language learning due to the different accents.

The school is large, with modern methods and with very complete facilities.

The location is very good with access to public transport and free parking for those of us who have a car. Great!

I can't really fault it. I hope to be able to return and continue my studies to continue improving my English.

Thanks for everything.

"Nice native English teacher, small group ideal for studying"

Morgan L’haridon, student from United Arab Emirates

I attended the speaking class. It was interesting because we were a small group so it is better for leaning and speaking to each other.

Teachers are very nice and native English speakers.

We did different activities every days.

The facilities are very good and welcoming.

"I recommend this place"

Veneta Mitova, student from Bulgaria

I really enjoyed the school stay.
There is everything you need to feel comfortable.
Teachers are careful and helpful.
I’m thinking 2 weeks stay is short time for good results.

The location is good, courses too..
The student residence is good, but it is so far ..
I would have chosen a stay in the hotel for the next time

"Beautiful atmosfer"

Federico Russo, student from Italy

I did a short course (2 weeks) at ES Dubai School, it has been a beautiful experience, I knew a lot of people, all staff (teacher, secretaries) has been very kind and available.

Unfortunately I didn't like two things, the first has been the duration of lessons, every lesson of 3 hours started with 10 minutes of delay and it finished 10 minutes before, with in the middle a pause of 30 35 minutes, too much.

The second thing has been the extra school activities, good idea but frequently this activities have done during the lesson time and in this manner other hours of lesson have been lose.

The School facility is very good all new and it's of easy access with the metro.

The lesson time must be improved surely. Anyway It has been a positive experience, I will redo
