Avanti Language Institute

Fantastic experience: My time at Avanti was very enjoyable. Management is efficient, the teachers are fantastic and great at adapting to different students' needs, but the best thing is the sense of community. You get to meet people from all over the world and form connections you wouldn't have otherwise, both in the school and outside of it (on one of the many excursions). I wouldn't be where I am now without the people I met at Avanti.

Fantastic experience: Une très bonne équipe et des activités très intéressantes pour nos trois enfants. Ils ont eu une superbe expérience.

Fantastic experience: My experience and that of my husband was truly wonderful! The school is very responsible and the teachers were very attentive and dedicated. I improved a lot in my English. Shiori and Shane are very kind and are always willing to help. Shiori is very creative and always proposes different activities that contribute to the social development of the students and cultural immersion in the country. I made many friends. I also loved my host family. I really loved the whole experience that Avanti provided. I hope to return one day! Thank you very much for everything, Avanti.

Fantastic experience: I recommend the Avanti school, all the teams are qualified. I studied for almost two years, and learned English to speak real English. Thank you Avanti.

Fantastic experience: It was a very wonderful and great school. I studied abroad here for only a month, but I was able to make the most of my time. The school is located in Naas, a quiet and comfortable town to live in. Like Japan, it has good public safety, so I rarely had any difficulties in daily life. The only real issue was that the bus sometimes didn’t show up . However, since it’s right next to Dublin, it only takes about an hour to get there or visit other tourist spots. As mentioned in other reviews, the small class sizes create a close relationship between teachers and students, making it easy to talk to them. Through activities, I was also able to make friends with students from different classes! I still keep in touch with those friends even after returning to Japan. My host family was also wonderful, and I had a very comfortable stay. Some of my friends had to commute quite far—one of them had to walk for 50 minutes. I guess this part comes down to luck. The atmosphere of the school was so welcoming that many students kept coming back to study again. I highly recommend this school as a study abroad destination! Thank you so much, Avanti!

Fantastic experience: The best summer of my life, I learned a lot of English and I had a great time for a month, an experience recommended for anyone who is afraid to leave their country, all the host familys are lovely, but siobhan and eylyin are the best. Best wishes, Jimmy

Fantastic experience: Avanti is a very good school for me. The teachers are very kind and provide an environment where I can study comfortably. Everyone I meet at the school is approachable, allowing me to enjoy a very pleasant school life. I am glad that I chose Avanti.

Fantastic experience: Avanti is one of the best schools in Ireland to study English! Avanti is a very good, high quality school where I felt welcomed and appreciated. All the teachers are amazing and the principals are always there for their students, they take care of everyone and they have a very good programme with incredible activities for the students so we can have a complete experience in this country. Avanti for me is a safe place, I found really good friends and my goal of leaning English was achieved thanks to all their support! One of the perks of studying in Avanti is that it is located in a little town one hour away from the city so the chances of improvement are higher than studying in Dublin City where there’s more people speaking other languages more than English. Avanti is one of the best options if your goal is to actually learn and improve your English!

Fantastic experience: If I needed to use only one adjective to describe how were the 6 months that I lived in Ireland, surely would be: special. I chose Naas and one of the best language institutes in Ireland: AVANTI. I met people from several countries and different cultures. Thank you AVANTI. It was six special months, that will always be in my heart ❤

Positive experience: Do you think you want to study English ? If you think so, I highly recommend going there to you. First of all, you will be supposed how cozy they are. They don't have massive students. Every students, staff, and teachers are like literally family. You can study English with such relaxing atmosphere. That would make your school life much fun and easier to get used to. Then teachers have different styles of teaching . So you will find several ways to improve your level. Everything is definitely effective to build up your skill. If I had to say something to request, if we could choose classes depends on what kind of skill we want to improve, that would be great. But still they're worth studying English there. Not only studying but also you are going to spend such smashing good time with events such as the Christmas party. Judging by my experience, I can recommend going there to you.

Fantastic experience: I studied there for two years and it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. The teachers as well as the administration and management staff have been very helpful during my experience. I would recommend the school to anyone who wants to learn English in a fun way and surrounded by great people.

Fantastic experience: After spending around 1 year at Avanti Language, I should say that I had an incredible experience studying. The management always helps students to fix their problems. The teachers are absolutely perfect. They know what you really need to improve your english skills. Although I started studying in A2 class, I graduated as advanced level. In addition, It is such a cosmopolitan school. Not only did I learn english but I also learned different cultures and perspectives. As you know, Living in a foreign country is not easy. So, if you want to feel somebody always with you, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact with this lovely language school.

Fantastic experience: These 6months I spent here are unforgettable pieces of my life. I highly recommend you to join Avanti if you want to study English intensely. Head teachers , Shane and Shiori were always helpful and kind. Teachers for each classes were also nice and friendly. Additionally, Avanti has plenty of social programmes to students to join. They will give students to great opportunities to make friends and explore Ireland. Avanti is not just a school to study English, but also you will learn yourself, others and importance of respects for each other. 留学を考えていてこのレビューを読んでいらっしゃる日本人の方がいましたら、日本人の立場としても私はこの学校を強くおすすめします。他の語学学校と違って少数クラスで多国籍であり、留学にありがちな結局日本語ばかり喋って終わってしまうことを避けられると思います。何より、この学校では英語以外にも学校のイベントに参加したり、学校が推薦してくれる仕事をしてみたりと学ぶことが非常に多いです。挑戦できる機会にぜひ、Avantiへの留学を検討してみてはいかがでしょうか。

Fantastic experience: Avanti is a great place to study English. It has wonderful teachers, they are always helpful and kind. I studied there from 2018 to 2022 and my English improved a lot. Now I am an English teacher as a second language in one of the best language schools in Ireland.

Fantastic experience: I would like to say that Avanti is a great place to study and practice English. You feel free to ask any questions about your studies, accommodation and you can be absolutely sure you will get a reply or advice.All teachers are very friendly and helpful, the material is easy to understand:) Unfortunately I had been there only for 2 weeks, it was a very short period for my acquaintance with all students at school, but I am happy that I had a chance to study in Avanti as it was first and successful experience in my life.Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I had studied for 6 month in Avanti. When I was staying there, I had some tasks for example apply a visa, get a job and so on. However Avanti staff and teacher helped me so much and resolved everything. And it was good a balanced class, grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing. So my english skill was improving in there. Also they have a lot of activities and I joined it. I enjoyed so much. The location, they have beautiful nature and easy to go the city center. It's perfect location. I'm satisfied everything.

Fantastic experience: I spent time here for 3months. I could learn many things from here such as basic English skills and culture of Ireland thourgh out classes, home staying and activiies. Especially, I learned the way to play chess, culuture of Ireland and these kind of so many things from host family. And also they took me to the Dublin coast and Phoenix park. Avanti's teachers and owners are also really kind and helpful so, they helped me many times. When I was hospitalized, I had no such expurience, so I had a lot of worries, but owners came to visit me almost every day. It was an unforgettable expurience for me. One of Avanti teacher also helped me my career study. Thanks to Avanti, I could have confident to my English study and myself. Thank you so much! I will come back!

Fantastic experience: I joined Avanti language Institute through online classes in an aim to learn Japanese.The experience I had through Avanti totally exceeded my expectations. I was a complete beginner and had absolutely 0 Japanese ability. I remember in my first lesson I was really struggling to read one of the easiest/most basic phrases "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu". Within roughly 11 months of attending Shiori's classes I passed the JLPT N5 exam. I will be leaving Ireland next week to become a JET ALT in Osaka, Japan. This is a huge dream come true for me.This was my first ever application to the JET programme and Shiori provided me with a brillant much needed second reference. My teacher Shiori (who is a native speaker from Tokyo) has always been so supportive, patient and friendly. She puts so much effort into her teaching and is a true professional. She covers so much in class but it is always so fun and engaging. I believe she really cares about her students and motivating them towards their goals. I am looking forward to keeping in contact with her even after finishing classes. She arranged various events and dinners so that I could socialise with my class but also with students who are from Japan which was not only great for speaking practice but for building social contacts/making friends and learning more about Japan itself. I really can't reccomend Avanti highly enough. I truly don't believe I would have been successful in the JLPT N5 or the JET program without Shiori's guidance and support.

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience! All the people in Avanti, also my two host-families, were kind and always available; I’ve known a lot of people from other countries. I hope everyone should have the same experience as me!

Fantastic experience: I spent three of the best weeks of my life, learned a lot and met amazing people. I built special memories, thanks to every single experience that this trip gave me. Special thanks to Shiori, Shane and my teacher. Thanks to AVANTI SCHOOL, it would not have been the same anywhere else. I really hope to see everyone again soon. A big hug, Camilla❤️

Fantastic experience: Instituto de aprendizaje de Inglés EXCELENTE. Destacamos la profesionalidad y trato . He pasado 2 semanas increíbles este verano. Las actividades culturales son estupendos, ideales para hacer amigos. Las horas de estudio son muy amenas. La HOST FAMILY ha sido muy atenta. Gracias por todo AVANTI.

Fantastic experience: Lovely school with a friendly atmosphere and fantastic teachers. It was the end of April 2021 I started studying English in Avanti. It was during the pandemic situation and also the first time for me to live far from Japan! For these reason, I was worried about the unknown journey. But It didn’t take long time for me to become accustomed to the completely new environment thanks to Avanti’s fantastic supports, especially Shane and Shiori! They helped me with so many things such as VISA application, Job interviews, Cambridge exam, travels and so on. They were always on hand to give advice whenever I needed. Regarding to school activities, we could explore every edge of Ireland. (And I never forget my pretty girlfriend Hana ) In terms of English class, it was fabulous! Teachers are so experienced in teaching that it was quite easy for me to understand complex English grammar and enhance my listening and speaking ability, and honestly I never got bored because of their class with a lot of humour, love, passion, culture exchange, interaction, games, music, dance... (It was too fun to be bored…) Their personalities are wonderful, I love each of them as a person not just as a teacher! In 8 months, I ended up moving up to C1 class from B2 and enjoying speaking English with native people (and dancing with a lot of fancy music!) Avanti might be considered to be a compact school compared to other language schools around Dublin, as I think, big advantage of Avanti is that everyone knows each other very well. Because of that, we could have a fan in the whole school. It is great memory we celebrated every special day like Halloween, Christmas and birthdays, and had so many crazy parties! (Food party was like a war since everyone fought for delicious food from all over the world) I’m sure the whole experience in Avanti was life-changing, and made me feel like a second family! Definitely I’ll go back to see you (or stay again with my future wife??) I can’t wait for it! Anyway, I would recommend Avanti to everyone who is interested in a school with a cozy atmosphere! How cozy? For example, I am basically shy and not a person likes to be the center of attention, but on my last day in Avanti, I made a speech in front of almost all students and teachers. Which means Avanti is a place that I can open my heart! What I want to say is “ just try! “ Avanti is always welcoming you with warm affection!!!

Fantastic experience: I just want to express how endlessly happy and thankful I am for having landed at Avanti! It is a magic place that is always filled with lots of laughter. What you can expect is great fun as well as exceptional education !! Shiori and Shane, the owners of the school, are amazingly dedicated and caring. The needs and well-beeing of us students are always at first place, which was particularly visible during this challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemics. Ivanna is a teacher full of life, truly authentic and simply hilarious. Using a wide range of diverse learning methods is of great importance to her as she knows that everybody has their own ways of learning. She cares about the individual and puts an unbelievable amount of work and heart into the lessons! And Ivanna is soo much more than an extraordinarily amazing teacher!! By the way: Be prepared for an awful lot of games, that will make sure that you truly incorporate what you learn. Kahoot is only the beginning here!! Also if you are as adventurous a person as I am, you'll be taken aback by the amount and quality of activities they organise at Avanti! Ireland is such a beautiful place and Shiori and Shane know exactly where to bring you!! +they also organise parties, pub nights, food festivals and other events that help you to socialise with other students even more!! In such a loving environment the learning shows great results. I can proudly say that, after having been excellently prepared, I've received a level of C2 in my Cambridge Exam. There's just a steady good mood in the school! The warm hearts and great spirits of the teachers as well as the students, make Avanti a place, where learning doesn't even feel like it. I've met a bunch of unique people from all around the world and the time I've spend here was a one-of-a-kind experience that I'll certainly treasure in my heart. Anna Krynicka from Vienna

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Best people to deal with. Very professional!

Fantastic experience: I cannot deny that Avanti Language Institute is a really good English School. My experience in Ireland began in February 2020. I went to live in this country without knowing any English. Avanti gave me the opportunity to learn from day one. All the teachers are really good. They do fun learning dynamics in addition to teaching grammar, listening, speaking... Unfortunately, the School was forced to close due to the Coronavirus but this was not a problem for the owners and teachers because they quickly adapted to the situation and began online classes. I must admit that they were very well prepared and the classes continued to be carried out correctly. Personally, I kept learning a lot and even thanks to this time I have found a job in Spain and all thank to them (Three times, it's crazy!) In 5 months I reached a C1 level. I'm certain that I'll never forget all that they have taught and helped me. It's clear that I would definitely recommend this English School to everyone. Avanti also offers all kind of activities to meet people and, in my opinion, they make the adaptation period easier. In my case, I adapted really well thanks to my Host-family and Avanti Language Institute. Taking everything into consideration, if I ever have to go back to Ireland for a long period of time, I'm sure I would go back to Avanti.

Fantastic experience: Avanti Language Institute in Naas is an amazing academy. I had the opportunity to share with them more than two months and I really felt as if they were my second family and my first one in Ireland. The support and gratitude of all the teachers helped me to achieve a 7.0 in the IELTS test. Apart from their professionalism as teachers, they transmitted me all the positive energy and they made me believe that I could achieve a higher score in the IELTS, so I am really grateful to all of them.

Fantastic experience: Fancy school

Fantastic experience: Student feedback from Avanti is ALWAYS outstanding. As an education agent I highly recommend Avanti and have 100% happy students there

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a language school to attend in Ireland-stop right now! Because AVANTI is an exceptional language institute that will not only help you to improve your English skills significantly to reach any goal you want to, but it will also be a great personal gain for you to experience what learning can be like in a warm, familiar atmosphere. I felt very welcomed at AVANTI from the beginning. Thanks to Shiori and Shane and my wonderful teacher there was always someone who I could go to when having any questions, worries or just wanted to have a chat with. I really sensed that everyone there was passionate about and highly dedicated to their professions, which made my experience even more enjoyable. Unique were also my fellow classmates and the other students, which I got to know in the blink of an eye and grew very fond of super quickly. They and my teacher made every lesson an event (really interactive, great topics and talks, fun games always, superb learning environment)! And so, I found myself almost more motivated than ever to do my homework and go to school daily. Lucky me, I could walk to school in less than 15 minutes through the small, but charming city of Naas, which has lots to offer. Next to many parks, a canal and loads of restaurants there are, of course, enough pubs for every day of the week (if you wish so ;)) What also comes in very handy is the direct bus connection to Dublin and a nearby train station. A perfect mix I would say. Small city, intimate school, just perfect. I really did look forward to go to school every day and already miss it. Thanks to all the students, my new friends, the teachers (one in particular) and Shiori and Shane for making my stay with all of you so special and for running such an excellent school! I'll never forget our extra-curricular activities and our very own special Halloween. A big, heartfelt recommendation and I can assure you at AVANTI you'll get high quality in every sense!

Fantastic experience: Avanti is an excellent language school! Situated in the wonderful town of Naas it provides the students with all the needed support and help. The native English speakers teachers are highly skilled and they always promote a nice and friendly school environment. The extra-class activities are other supportive means for the learning process. Having improved from real scratch to C1 level was an incredible achievement to me (Not to mention the 6.5 Band Score at Academic IELTS and C1 at CAE Advanced). Thanks Avanti and thanks all the teachers and staff, my 2 years living amongst you guys was really a life changing experience!

Fantastic experience: Avanti language is an excellent language school which I really recommend and where I spent 2 marvellous years. There are lots of amazing and professional teachers, I really improved my english, learned lots of new things including things from Irish culture which I love it, inclusive activities and everything is amazing I'm so in love with my experience over there. I got new knowledge I'm so glad because of that and with every single teacher over there because they are always doing their best and a lot of their effort to help us to improve our english, it's a kind of personalized because we're not a lot of students and the teachers are always keeping an eye on us. I made many friends from different countries of the World. Thanks to Shane and Shiori because they are always trying to do their best for us and supporting us or cheering us up to improve our english and do our best. They supported me a lot when I was studying for my FCE and I'm so glad with them. I really appreciate them. Ireland has a big piece of my heart! Best and lovely wishes for everyone.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful language school with high teaching standards and communicative approach, you are definitely to learn a lot with Avanti and achieve your language goals. I really loved that friendly atmosphere and professional administration! The school is also nicely located. Avanti is highly recommended for your language journey!

Fantastic experience: Avanti has made a positive impact on my life during all my year and a half year studying here. They certainly have a high academic standard and good quality teachers, guides that led me to get 6.5 on my IELTS academic. The heartwarming memories and the incredible friendships that I have made there are priceless, likewise all the support we receive from the Avanti team and the cultural activities were such a great experience, therefore I'm so grateful to Avanti who has shown me that what makes a school great is the amazing people who are in it.

Fantastic experience: I studied at Avanti language school for three years taking the Leaving Certificate Japanese 1 and 2 course and private lessons in preparation for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test exams. I highly recommend anyone serious about improving their Japanese ability or determined to achieve the highest grade possible in their exams to enrol in a course at Avanti. Thanks to the first-class help and support I received while studying at Avanti, I was able to achieve an A1 in Higher level Leaving Certificate Japanese which helped me in gain a place in my first choice university! The classroom is a fun and friendly environment and I have made many friends from all around the world during my time at Avanti. The school hosts many events for their students throughout the year such as food fairs, Halloween and Christmas parties. The teachers at Avanti are fantastic! They are very friendly and are genuinely interested in helping their students achieve their goals. I have continued to stay in touch with my teacher and other members of staff after finishing my studies at Avanti. They have been a critical support network for me upon entering university; providing me with references for study abroad programmes and the JET programme. Owing in no small part to their continued support, encouragement and top-class language instruction, I was recently hired by the JET programme to work in Japan, which was a long-time dream of mine. Overall, I highly recommend this school, and it is truly deserving of a 5/5 rating!

Fantastic experience: During the last 8 years my children and I have been attending Avanti classes for several weeks every summer. Our experience has been fantastic always. We have met fabulous people from so many countries The staff has always been very kind with us and the school has great teachers. I highly recomend this school ¡¡

Fantastic experience: The teachers are lovely and create such a friendly environment to learn in. They helped me prepare for my leaving cert japanese exam and I was able to achieve the grade I wanted. Highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic language school in a rural town, perfect location of one hour drive from hustle and bustle of Dublin City Center. The teachers are very experienced and they have plenty of extracurricular activities like horse riding and Irish music. I highly recommend this school.

Fantastic experience: The Best school of Language in ireland.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn English. You can see that the owners really do care about the students and the teachers are also excellent

Fantastic experience: I take groups of students from Valencia in Spain to Avanti in Naas every summer. All of the students have a very positive experience. They mature a lot and gain a lot of confidence in english. They live with lovely irish families, their teachers at Avanti are wonderful, they have fun activities daily and they make lots of new friends from all over the world! Many of my students return each year with me!!!! The management, Shane and Shiori, do an incredible job and are always there for everyone! A wonderful experience....home away from home!! I highly recommend it!!! Annie☘

Fantastic experience: Great school, perfect for everybody. The staff is amazing. I love the experience and definitely recommend that you come.

Negative experience: Gave this one star review from the experience that my girlfriend had whilst studying here. Entered the school at level a upper intermediate but was placed in pre intermediate class. She eventually got to change her level 6 months later when she had two weeks left of the course. The owner seems to prey on the fact that the foreign students level of English is not so good that they will not argue with management and just tip away paying their money for a below average level of studies. I am putting this post up today after I gave a one Star review months ago as the owner/ manager bumped into my girlfriend today and asked her to ask me take my review down or change it.

Fantastic experience: I met Shiori and Shane five years ago when I moved to Ireland. The Principal of a local Primary School recommended Avanti to me. I had one-to-one conversation classes with Shane who did his best to accommodate me throughout the term. Now I'm attending the IELTS afternoon class. Shane and Shiori have always been helpful and kind and I would not hesitate to recommend Avanti to anyone who wants to learn or improve English.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to learn English and make friends! I have been having an amazing experience ❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: One of the best schools in Naas, for study English and improve your language. The Teachers are amazing, and the experience to study with students from different countries is fantastic! I give 5 stars to all the School :)

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the school, I’ve studied there for 2 years and for sure couldn’t have chosen a best school to study. Shane and Shiori are incredible people who are always willing to help the students, I had wonderful moments at the school , thanks Avanti.

Fantastic experience: The best English school in Ireland

Fantastic experience: Im a former student and in my opnion it is the best school to learn languages! There u can find good atmosphere and lovely staff, so u can felling at home! if u want to really learn and not come just for visa I would recommend Avanti to everyone.

Fantastic experience: It is a high level school that I highly recommend for anyone who really wants to learn English.

Fantastic experience: Avanti is a place where you go to learn english and also where you feel at home! I've spent 4 years studying english there and I can say to you, it was the best place I could choose as my school! My teachers were amazing and Shiori and Shane, the directors are such great person too. I would strongly reccomend the school for those who intent to experience Ireland! Thank you Avanti for making my exchange program the best ever! Talita ❤

Fantastic experience: Avanti school is a very professional place to be. If you want to go to Ireland to learn English Avanti School is the place. Great teachers and good localization, Naas city, beautiful small city just one hour far from Dublin. I made so many friends over there, and the Avanti professional are helpfully and honest people. I recommend!!!

Positive experience: Always seeking homes for their students during summer months, nice people to deal with if you want to take on a Spanish student for the summer.mer.
