Fantastic experience: Beautiful experience! I’d been attending Castelforbes college for a month in Michael’s classes and lived in Larkhill’s student house (managed by Castleforbes). Lectures were useful and very fun thanks to Michael, who also helped me after class and who made us learn mixing theory, practice and fun games. Larkhill house was such a peaceful place where to live largely thanks to Stephanie’s management and kindness. All the staff members I’ve talked with, such as Valentina and Erika, were both friendly and helpful; also Seamus, the director of studies, was always aware about what was happening in his school and every time he could, he encouraged us to talk in English an keep learning. A variety of amenities were available for free, including a kitchen equipped with microwaves, fridge and an how water dispenser, as well as a common room featuring computers, books, and comfortable seating. I’ve enjoyed every moment in this school, the experience is not cheap but more affordable than other schools and, in my opinion, totally worth it.

Fantastic experience: Castleforbe is an amazing school. The teachers are very experienced and their teaching methods are interesting. When I first started studying here, I felt very nervous and didn’t dare to speak English much. However, the teachers and classmates were very friendly. At the school, I met people from many different countries. Thank you for giving me such wonderful memories and helping me improve my English so much.

Fantastic experience: Taking a chance that truly paid off ✨ I’m Xuan Er Tang, a student from Malaysia who decided to step out of my comfort zone and study at Castleforbes College. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and supported. The teachers are professional, patient, and genuinely care about every student. This experience has greatly improved my English and helped me grow in confidence and independence. Looking back, choosing Castleforbes was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my future.

Fantastic experience: Castelforbes è un’esperienza che non si può spiegare a parole: si può solo vivere. Ho iniziato questo percorso su consiglio di mio fratello e sono arrivata con un inglese molto basico. In appena un mese, grazie allo studio intenso e al supporto costante ricevuto, ho raggiunto un livello che non avrei mai immaginato possibile in così poco tempo. Questa scuola è fatta di persone straordinarie: sempre presenti, attente e disponibili. I professori sono eccezionali, capaci non solo di insegnare l’inglese, ma di trasmettere fiducia, motivazione e amore per la lingua. All’inizio non è stato facile, soprattutto confrontarmi con studenti di livelli più alti, ma l’ambiente accogliente, che con il tempo diventa una vera famiglia, mi ha permesso di sentirmi al sicuro, di mostrare fragilità e punti di forza e di mettermi davvero in gioco. Consiglio Castelforbes a chi, come me, pensava di non avere le capacità per diventare bravo in inglese. Questa scuola ti aiuta a superare i tuoi limiti, a crescere come persona e a capire che, con impegno e determinazione, si possono raggiungere traguardi che sembravano impossibili. Un ringraziamento speciale va a Valentina ed Erika per il loro supporto costante, a tutti i professori che hanno contribuito alla mia crescita personale e linguistica, e al direttore, che in qualche modo mi ha aiutata a “lasciare andare” l’italiano per superare me stessa. È un’esperienza che porterò sempre nel cuore. Grazie di tutto, ci vedremo presto.

Dear Angela,
Thank you so much for these words.
We were really happy to have you and Giosuè as our students , it was a pleasure to be part of your journey. You’ll always be welcome in the Castelforbes family. See you again very soon!

Positive experience: The speaking class is only useful if you have a very, very low level (A1–A2); otherwise, it isn’t. The rest of the classes depend on the teacher and the classmates you get. Some are excellent, and others are just so-so.

Fantastic experience: Ciao , sono Marco e commento dall'Italia, sono appena rientrato dopo aver fatto questa fantastica esperienza di studio, presso il Castelforbes College. Devo ammettere che sin da subito mi ha ispirato fiducia, già il solo parlare con Erika, nonché la ragazza che risponde e da tutte le info richieste, mi sono sentito a mio agio e ispirato a partire. Arrivato li, mi ritrovo un'altra ragazza ”Valentina” anch'essa non da meno come gentilezza e accoglienza, pronta ad aiutarti in qualsiasi cosa. Che dire, personalmente mi sono trovato bene, partivo da zero con l'inglese, ma grazie al ”prof. Romano”, ad oggi mi ritrovo una buona base, e una grande dose per continuare, e dopo queste feste conto di ritornare . Hi , my name is Marco and I’m writing from Italy. I’ve just returned after having this fantastic study experience at Castelforbes College. I must admit that it inspired confidence in me right from the start—just talking to Erika, the girl who answers and provides all the requested information, made me feel comfortable and motivated to leave. When I arrived there, I met another girl, Valentina, who was just as kind and welcoming, always ready to help you with anything. What can I say? Personally, I had a great experience. I started from zero with English, but thanks to Prof. Romano, today I have a good foundation and a strong motivation to keep going. After the holidays, I’m planning to come back .

Fantastic experience: I spent two months at Castleforbes College in Dublin and it was a fantastic experience. The teaching quality is excellent — my English teacher Stephen was amazing at motivating us and making every lesson fun and engaging.

A special thanks to Valentina and Erika, who were always kind, helpful, and made everything easier — they truly made my stay even better. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Dopo aver contattato e valutato diverse scuole a Dublino, la scelta è ricaduta su Castleforbes College, anche grazie ai loro prezzi imbattibili e competitivi. Appena arrivato ho capito subito di aver trovato l'ambiente ideale e fatto la scelta giusta. L'accoglienza è l'anima di questa scuola. Erika e Valentina ti fanno sentire a casa con un'attenzione genuina, salutandoti per nome ogni mattina con un sorriso che scalda il cuore. Il direttore, Seamus, è la quintessenza dell'ospitalità irlandese: un leader disponibile, solare e che ti integra immediatamente, facendoti sentire parte attiva della comunità. L'apprendimento è stimolante e dinamico. Gli insegnanti sono un mix perfetto di professionalità e amichevolezza, capaci di trasformare la lezione in un vero piacere quotidiano. Qui non esistono "tempi morti": il programma è strutturato per massimizzare ogni momento, arricchendo costantemente la tua conoscenza. Ma il vero valore aggiunto è la connessione umana. La scuola è un crocevia multiculturale dove i compagni di corso si trasformano velocemente in amici, rendendo ogni lezione un momento conviviale e creando una tela di ricordi indimenticabili che porterò con me per sempre. Studiare alla Castleforbes College va oltre il semplice miglioramento dell'inglese. È un viaggio umano che lascia un segno profondo. Di sicuro ci tornerò il prossimo anno.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been studying at Castleforbes College English School for the past one year , and it’s been an absolutely transformative experience! Engaging, Supportive Teachers Every teacher at Castleforbes College English School goes above and beyond to help you succeed. In my Conversation & Pronunciation class, My teacher challenges us with real-life materials—news clips, song lyrics, sitcom scenes—and then guides us through our mistakes with patience and clear explanations. He personalises her feedback, setting small, achievable goals for each of us, so I’ve seen my own confidence and accuracy improve dramatically week by week. Friendly, Collaborative Classmates With just eight to fifteen students per class, it’s easy to build real friendships and practice English together both inside and outside the classroom. My classmates come from Italy, South Korea, Brazil and beyond, and we’ve formed a tight-knit study group that meets daily for coffee and conversation. We quiz each other on vocabulary, role-play job interviews, and even organise weekend outings to Dublin’s museums—learning

Alejandro Amador Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been studying at Castleforbes College since February 2024, and joining this school has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The classes are fun and engaging, and the teachers are truly supportive and professional. When I arrived in Ireland, I had a B1 level of English. With the help of the IELTS preparation classes, I achieved a 7 overall in the IELTS exam and reached a C1 level, something I once thought was nearly impossible. Thanks to this, I’m now preparing to start my master’s degree in Dublin. Special thanks to Declan (my first teacher), Andrew, Eoin, Michael, Valentina, Enda, Seamus, Romano, Jan, and Adrian, and to everyone at Castleforbes who makes the school such a welcoming and inspiring place. I highly recommend Castleforbes College to anyone moving abroad and looking for more than just an English school!

Fantastic experience: I initially planned to stay at Castleforbes College for just two weeks, but I loved it so much that I decided to extend my course and even join the IELTS preparation class. Thanks to their amazing support, I achieved a 7.5, which was even more than what I needed to get into university (big thanks to teacher Eoin). The entire staff is incredibly welcoming, and I want to give a special shoutout to Valentina and Eleonora for always being so kind and attentive, and organizing the best activities. The teachers I had were fantastic. They helped me feel comfortable and overcome my fear of making mistakes in English. They are not only well-prepared but also genuinely care about their students' progress.The classes are friendly and feel like a conversation, where i am allowed to grow without fear of judgment.

Fantastic experience: I felt very welcomed at Castleforbes from my first online contact with Aymonne to purchase the course, through to each of the teachers (a special shout-out to Andrew and Seamus), the best Italian receptionist Valentina, and all the administration team. Everyone is so professional, yet very lovely, and makes you feel at home. I started in the Intermediate level and am now in Advanced, feeling more confident with my English and learning so much every day. Also, there are activities every Friday, and you can go out to a pub afterwards. This makes you more sociable, which is very helpful when you are in a new country with new people. But also encourages you to communicate in English. I couldn’t recommend it enough. As Seamus always says, “On that bombshell”, I’ll miss this place once I finish!

Fantastic experience: I am having the opportunity to study at Castle Forbes, and I can say it was my best choice here in Dublin. I have studied at other schools, but the support and quality of service at Castle Forbes are by far the best I have ever experienced. It has a welcoming environment, excellent teachers and staff, and unique support in Portuguese from Aymonne, and an exceptional teacher, Sean. Thank you, Castle Forbes.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended school with a family atmosphere and native teachers who truly care about teaching their students in a didactic and unique way. They are always willing to provide direct support; this includes the high-level administrators who get involved in the students' learning. The staff is highly qualified; the student environment is suitable for making connections and forming real friendships. In my personal opinion, I will always carry them in my mind for their teachings and in my heart for their quality as people. Thank you for everything, and for so many good moments.

Fantastic experience: I am Brazilian and I chose to study at Castleforbes College after a long search for a competent school that would give me the support I needed when I arrived in Dublin. And currently, studying at this school, I see that I made the best choice! Aymonne gave me all the necessary advice while I was still in Brazil and the excellent service continues throughout my studies. All the teachers are kind and super competent in teaching English. The directors know you by name and are truly committed to offering the best structure and teaching to students.

Fantastic experience: It's honestly one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, 'cause the people inside are the best. I was there for one month in August and I have a really good memory of it, improve my English it never been so fun and easy. Paul is simply hilarious but he's also an excellent teacher. Coco is such a badass and I love her for it, she wasn't just a teacher, for three weeks she's been like a big sister to me. The conversation class with Sēamus was never boring with his strange questions and his charisma. Eoin is so fun with his strong Irish accent and he's a beautiful person. Last but not least, Romano, he is so annoying but he's also a cutie pie. All the teachers in that school are wonderful and I think this is its real strength, 'cause first of all they're human and they empathize with the students, the best way to teach in my opinion. I miss all of them so much and I hope I can see them again soon. Danyra

Fantastic experience: It was a very risky and big decision for me to leave my country, my parents and my friends and come here to learn the English language. I would like to thank this school for supporting such a difficult decision. I would like to thank the teachers who have been teaching English language step-by-step and clearly since I first joined this school. It was hard when I first arrived, but now I’m glad I have so many foreign friends. This big decision and this amazing school has completely changed my life.

Fantastic experience: It's a very good school. From my own experience, during 2 months of studying here my English improved quite a lot. I like the attitude of the teachers because they explain down to the smallest details and the receptionists who clearly explain the learning process in this school. I recommend the combination of general English classes with conversation and practice classes, it helped me a lot to overcome the barrier to communicate. And besides all this, you make a lot of friends! Friends, I recommend you try it!

First of all, I would like to thank the director of the school, Owen, since he helped me when i started the course, to solve my problems with my stay in Dublin, he is a very kind and fun person who does whatever to help his students with their stay in Dublin to feel comfortable.

İrem Arık Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have completed a three-month adventure in Dublin. Throughout this period, I had the opportunity to work with different teachers. I am very grateful to Declan and Seamus for their patience with me for an extended period. Both were remarkably supportive during this journey. Beyond their roles as educators, their approachability allowed me to seamlessly engage in class without hesitation. Although I shared a class with Andrew for just four days, it was enough for me to understand what an excellent teacher he is. I also thank him for reminding me to look at things from very different perspectives. Romano's humor in teaching and his sincerity were also very valuable. I can say with confidence that, despite each teacher having different methods, their commonality lies in being trustworthy, making learning enjoyable, and being friendly. Thanks to them and the invaluable friends I made, Dublin became a place where I felt at home. In times of difficulty, always remember there's an Eion ready to help you in every way! Thank you Castleforbes <3

Fantastic experience: I just finished my 6 months course, and I'm so glad I choose CastleForbes to start my journey in Ireland! The teachers are attentive to details in student's learning process; the director of students, Eion, is such a nice person, who's always open to hear and help us; and the secretaries also are friendly and helpful. Although, my biggest thank you goes to Aymonne – whose advice and support has being so great since I started planning my internship; and to Seamus, my last teacher, whom has taught me so much in a few months, and also managed to bring us joyful afternoons, even though we were mostly tired in all of them. Thank you, guys, for all the help and for being so understanding with our questions and daily issues. I'm so grateful for meeting you all!
