Atlantic Centre of Education: Reviews
Negative experience: Terrible service! The staff are rude and don’t assist students properly. Especially the manger I think he is Japanese and also his wife Tamara, She also works as manager she is the same They are terrible i don’t know how they are working as managers!!!
Negative experience: Very unprofessional institute. The staff are rude and unhelpful, especially in admissions and reception.
Negative experience: This institute is very unprofessional. The staff, including those at the reception and in charge of admissions, are not helpful at all. Their attitude towards students is rude and disrespectful. I do not recommend dealing with them.
Fantastic experience:
Positive experience: die Sprachschule ist mit vielen Smartboards ausgestattet und alle Mitarbeitenden sind sehr nett. Es gibt eine große Sonnenterasse, die wir im August auch jeden Tag genießen durften. Die organisierten Aktivitäten (Stadtführung und Pubabend) waren gut organisiert und haben zum Vernetzen eingeladen. Ein paar Klassenräume hatten leider kein Fenster. Zum Thema grüne Sprachschule: Einige Lehrer kamen trotzdem jeden Tag mit Papierstapeln und es gab leider zu wenige Tassen und kein Besteck, welches One-Way-Geschirr Nutzung gefördert hat. Ein bisschen mehr Besteck und Geschirr wäre durchaus sinnvoll.
Negative experience: I took the English for Proficiency Level course and was completely disappointed. The level of the material (which was from public websites) was not C2. As an example, we were given a fill-in-the-blank exercise from a Cranberries song and played broken telephone, all of which were well below C2 level. All of us attending the course were teachers, so we could detect the teacher's lack of teaching skills. She moved from one activity to another without much sense, and the only thing she had to offer was the fact that she was a native speaker. The academy's website confirms my suspicions: the teacher is a journalist and marketing specialist, not a professional teacher, so she cannot teach what she does not know. I will not return.
Fantastic experience: I have no words to describe the amazing experience I had in this school, I only stayed 2 months at Atlantic School but what I saw and learned was incredible, excellent teachers, excellent school, excellent organization, congratulations to everyone, highly recommended for those who want to study English, but without stress. I hope see you again Atlantic (and galway), maybe in the future. Erwin Camilot
Fantastic experience: Wow! I really enjoyed every minute here. It was an intense but also very interesting and instructive week with Erasmus Staff Mobility. The teachers I had (Purva and Kevin) understood to make it an exciting language course with a lot of (inter)activity without overtaxing us. I learned a lot about language, people, culture,... Big recommendation!
Fantastic experience: J’ai suivi une semaine de cours dans cette école. Tout est bien ficelé : le déroulement des cours avec du matériel multimédia fonctionnel ; la qualité des enseignements ; et de superbes enseignants.
Negative experience: Tuve un problema con el personal y no me ayudaron, ningún apoyo educativo. Ahorre su dinero.
Negative experience: Absolutely the worst language school in Galway. Can barely be called a school. Run entirely for profit, the long-term students don't learn anything because they only focus on Erasmus students. Teachers aren't treated well either. Run far away.
Negative experience: Las clases fueron bien las semanas que estuve ahí lo que no me parece normal es que meses después quiera retomar las clases y me dijeran que tenía que volver a pagar el mismo libro de texto y la matrícula si quería volver a dar clases
Fantastic experience: Ho appena terminato un'esperienza Erasmus staff di una settimana e sono più che soddisfatta. Il metodo di insegnamento è ottimo, la mia insegnante estremamente disponibile, professionale e empatica. In una sola settimana ho davvero migliorato il mio inglese e le mie capacità di presentare in inglese a livello professionale, molto più di quanto pensassi. Ottima organizzazione e tutto lo staff ti fa sentire a casa.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic school! The teachers here are experienced, hardworking & enthusiastic. Lessons are carefully planned and delivered in a clear and fun way, with empathy a primary focus. The academic office and reception staff are also great! Super helpful and kind, consistently going out of their way to help students wherever they can.
Fantastic experience: Mi hijo ha estado estudiando durante 2 meses y viviendo durante 3 semanas en la residencia . Todo fantástico. Ha mejorado mucho su mivel de inglés y el traro ha sido muy bueno. Lo recomiendo 100%
Negative experience: This language school for only Brazilians and Europeans. There was even a separate staff for Brazilians. Instructors who are teaching English changed frequently without notice, and the quality continued to drop. In particular, the JAPANESE MAN in charge of the HOMESTAY was extremely rude. The homestay host I was assigned to was not home during the weekend and was not properly cleaned or prepared foods. I gave feedback to the Japanese staff, but the only thing that came back was a bad attitude telling me not to complain. I wouldn't choose this langauge school NEVER AGAIN
Fantastic experience: Super Schule, tolle Lehrer! Kann ich 100% weiterempfehlen! Die Themen während den Unterrichtsstunden waren sehr spannend. Weiter so... :) Super school, great teachers! I can recommend 100%! The topics during the lessons were very exciting. Keep it up... :)
Fantastic experience: Nice
Negative experience: Teachers change every week and sometimes they repeat the lessons. You have good teachers and others not at all. Tak, the guy responsible of accomodation is not comprehensive and if you want to change accomodation because your flatmate disturbs you or the accomodation is not good or far from the centre you will need to pay for it ♂️ Sure you have better and cheaper options, for me it was a waste of money. The only worth it thing is that you will meet nice and lovely people there.
Negative experience: The organisation of the academy is very bad, there are some very good teachers and others who don't organise their classes. I tried to move to another flat and Tak, was not at all understanding with the situation.
Fantastic experience: Great Teachers
Fantastic experience: I spent 3 months in Galway, they were great months, I met a lot of people from different parts of the world. I studied at the Atlantic School in the General English course, I recommend this school. The people are super helpful and the teachers are really good. An experience that will remain in my heart.
Fantastic experience: I had such a nice and educational time there, Olive is a great teacher and so kind!
Negative experience: The worst place to learn English. I wanted my wife to learn it, and she got 20 weeks of general English, but this place is only for visa takers to live in Ireland, they don't follow a proper teaching structure, and professors change very often from class to class on daily basis, so you will never get a continuous lesson with the same professor, which is a shame, cos it is hard to progress and learn. Also they do not cover a lot of grammar, which is in my opinion the root of language. Nearly 2000 euros thrown in the rubbish and a waste of her time and effort. Very frustrating, but if you have enough money to throw away and want a student visa to live and work in Ireland, that is the way to go :)
Positive experience: Nice school, unforgetable experience
Negative experience: Worst organization ever.
Fantastic experience: Super établissement avec des professeurs experts dans l'enseignement de l'anglais professionnel
Positive experience: Aquí he pasado unas de mis mejores semanas y he conocido a un montón de personas de otras culturas. Hay muy buen ambiente y las clases de inglés general están bien. Como punto a mejorar podrían ofrecer actividades por las tardes más elaboradas.
Fantastic experience: A escola oferece cursos de inglês básico, intermediário e avançado, de escrita, escuta e fala. No site da instituição é possível se localizar, encontrar locais de estadia, e outros. Quando vc se matricula eles disponibilizam um mapa para você visitar os pontos turísticos/ um guide e outros. E são classificados a partir de provas/exames realizados no final de sua temporada. Foi uma das melhores experiências que obtive durante o tempo que estive na Irlanda. Tive a oportunidade de conhecer pessoas/culturas de outros países, sotaques diferentes. Fiz diversas amizades durante esse tempo. É ótima oportunidade para quem busca contato com diferentes grupos.
Fantastic experience: It’s one of the most reliable English schools in Ireland. This is real professional school. Very trustful. Thank you to all the staff
Fantastic experience: Ich habe noch selten in 5 Tagen so viel gelernt. Thanks to Sarah!
Fantastic experience: Amazing
Negative experience: Cerraron en marzo y no nos han devuelto el dinero. Les he reclamado varias veces, pero siempre dan excusas. Siguen abiertos, cobrando a otra gente y ingresando dinero y no pagan sus deudas. No han sido nada profesionales y además, se están quedando con dinero que no les pertenece puesto que no han presentado el servicio. Muy descontenta con su gestión y eso que en teoria era una acadèmia seria...
Fantastic experience: Eine sehr gute Schule auch für ältere "Semester" geeignet!
Fantastic experience: One of the best school i was there 18 years ago and from the photo it’s looks the same I love this memories ❤️❤️
Negative experience: The worst investment of my life, if you want to learn English, it is best to find another school or learn on your own.
Negative experience: It's the worst experience that i do
Fantastic experience: I studied here for about a week and I enjoyed every single second of it. I miss being in Galway and studying english there. The staff is amazing and I couldn’t ask for more. I seriously do recommend coming here!
Negative experience: Horrible, slow learning, generally bad teachers, work dynamics and horrific study. The level tests are bad, they value your knowledge with a written exam forgetting to speak and listen, I have gone through levels A1-A2-B1-B2 and I swear that the grammar is almost the same. My advice, if you want to learn English, meet with foreigners or Irish and find another school. If you want to waste your money and learn little, this is your school.
Fantastic experience: Recomendable 100%. Hice un curso de inglés general de una semana y nunca pensé que cinco días darían para tanto. En mi caso estuve con una familia que proporcionó el programa. Hice una prueba de nivel y me pusieron con un grupo adecuado para mí. Había compañeros que llevaban más tiempo y me incorporé a su temario. La metodología es fantástica. Está diseñada para que interactúes con compañeros, de hasta seis nacionalidades en mi clase. Todos con el mismo objetivo, hablar inglés. Juegos, entrevistas y clases muy amenas lideradas por Dara, en mi caso. Un diez de profesor!! Organizan excursiones y eventos para ayudarte a vivir la experiencia de la mejor manera . Lo recomiendo para una semana y aún mejor si es para más tiempo . Por lo que comentamos con compañeros, todos estaban encantados con el curso
Fantastic experience: Sent one of my students NHZ. for the adult intensive course in July. I have been dealing with summer schools for over 20 years both in England and Ireland and do recommend this excellent school both for its tuition, location, activities and friendliness.
Positive experience: Hiç Türk olmayan şahane bir okul. Galway de çok şirin bir şehir. Bu okulda dil eğitimi almak isteyen herkese yardımcı olmaktan mutlu olurum
Fantastic experience: Academia de lenguajes muy recomendable, tanto para jóvenes en edad escolar como para adultos. Tienen muy buenas instalaciones y una muy buena organización de cursos. Muy profesionales.
Fantastic experience: Una scuola di piccole dimensioni ma con un ambiente molto familiare, perfetto per migliorare l'inglese. Mi sono trovato a mio agio sia con i professori che con l'organizzazione della scuola, sempre molto disponibile in caso di problemi... ciliegina sulla torta : la reception ! Gentilissimi, divertenti e sempre pronti a darti una mano, fantastici !
Grazie mille Simone per le belle parole! Saimo contenti che tu ti sia trovato cosi bene all'Atlantic Language School e speriamo di rivederti presto! In bocca al lupo per il tuo futuro!
Fantastic experience: Ho passato due mesi fantastici. Struttura ottima, con uno staff “friendly” estremamente disponibile, oltre ad essere competente e sempre pronto ad ascoltare chiunque. Gli insegnanti? Beh che dire, sempre sopra la media, ottimi nelle spiegazioni, pazienti e sempre disponibili per eventuali richieste (correzione Curriculum Vitae o anche il solo rispiegare la lezione). Insomma, l’ Antlantic é una soluzione perfetta se volete davvero imparare la lingua senza tralasciare il divertimento. Ps. La scuola mette a disposizione varie uscite fuori sede, corsi “gratuiti” oltre alle varie feste create tra compagni! Grazie davvero see you! Ah, Galway non è molto grande ma ti rimane dentro per ogni sua particolarità ...
Grazie mille Piero! E' stato un piacere averti qui e speriamo di rivederti presto! All the best!
Fantastic experience: I had one of the best experiences at Atlantic Language in Galway! I did a 4-month internship, from June to September and I enjoyed every single moment. The staff is lovely and they are all ready to help you and to answer at every question. The school offers English courses for every level and organizes a lot of afternoon activities which I totally recommend. My host family was simply amazing and they did their best to make me feel like at home. Whether in doubt, Atlantic Language is absolutely the right choice if you want to study and improve your English!
Thanks a million Lisa for your kind words! We are glad that you had a great experience here in Atlantic Language because it was our pleasure to work with you! We wish you best of luck for your future and we hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: I had spent a week back in March in Galway at Atlantic Language. It was an experience for a lifetime! Fantastic teachers, great atmosphere in the school every day! Everything was very useful what I've learnt. I won't miss the chance if I will have an opportunity to go again! I can only recommend this school for everyone!
Thanks a million Gabriella! We are delighted that you enjoyed your time here and we hope to see you soon again! Best of luck for your future!
Fantastic experience: Grazie ad Atlantic Language sono riuscita a non avvertire i notevoli km che mi separavano dalla mia casa, dalla mia famiglia. È stata una delle esperienze migliori che io abbia potuto fare, perchè ho avuto la possibilita di migliorare il mio inglese, ma soprattutto ho avuto l’opportunità di visitare luoghi incredibili grazie alle gite organizzate. Le persone che ci lavorano e studiano, come me, fanno sì che l’Atlantic Language sia una delle scuole migliori che offre l'opportunità di vivere in un contesto multiculturale, aprire la mente e imparare tante nuove cose non solo sull'Irlanda, ma su tante altre nazioni, ognuna caratterizzata da stile di vita e cultura diversa. Insomma, non posso che dire grazie Atlantic! ❤
Fabiana, thank you for your kind words. It makes us very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Atlantic Language and that despite the distance you felt at home! Good luck for everything and hope to see you soon! :)
Fantastic experience: I've studied there from 2013 to 2014 and i can say that it was the best experience of my life. In Atlantic School you will learn more than a language, you shall open your mind to learn about life..
Thank you very much Jeferson! ;) We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time here at Atlantic Language. Come back anytime! We hope to see you soon! :)
Fantastic experience: Estudar na Atlantic e uma das melhores experiencias que os novos intercambistas podem ter quando chegam em Galway, alem da otima localização a escola conta com auxilia o aluno em diversos processos documentais. Estudar os ultimos seis meses nessa escola mudaram minha vida. Estou ansioso para poder retornar.
Thank you very much Elvis! We are glad that you had such a great time with us! Hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: The Atlantic Language school is the best school ever.I've been studying here since last November.Teachers are very good and the staffs are easy going. I'm really happy with it.
Thank you Cleu! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time here at Atlantic language! We wish you all the best for your future!
Fantastic experience: In the heart of Galway, this school is everything you could ask for: the staff is lovely and always ready to help you. Lessons are interesting and suited for your level, teachers are so nice and they make lessons and learning a real pleasure, afternoon activities are so much fun and very interesting, the school has a great atmosphere and is so close to the best Galway has to offer! I had the best experience of my life here. Totally recommend it!
Susy, thank you very much for your kind words! It was our pleasure to work with you this summer. You have a very good attitude and you are a hardworking and enthusiastic lady. You have a bright future ahead of you!
Fantastic experience: Despite the distance, I felt like at home. The receptionist was very kind with me and cleared up all my doubts. The teachers were competent and helped me improving my English during the three months I stayed there. I made new friends from all over the world and created memories that I will bring always with me!
Thank you very much for this lovely review. We love that you have made so many good friends and we are delighted to have had the chance to work with you and to improve your English.
Positive experience: The quality of teaching (did a Cambridge First course) is brillant but the organisation is really poor! I booked a "Meet and Greet" Arrangement at Dublin airport. A school representive should have been at the airport and take me to Galway. Nobody has been there so I called the emergency number I got. The guy on the line told me that he isn't responsible for this case and hang up. In school we had to deal everything by ourselves; for example we had to ask several times for the schedule for the exam. There were some other difficulties with the organisation as well... The staff is very friendly and as mentioned before the teachers are awesome so it's quite sad, that the organisation is so poor.
Hi Dia. Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your classes here at Atlantic Language and that the teachers performed excellently. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding English language tuition. We apologise for your problem with the 'Meet and Greet' service. We have looked into this and learned that you were refunded for this issue. We generally don't have issues with arrivals and transfers but due to updates in our operations, human error occurred on this particular occasion. In relation to your exam issue, we always ensure that students are provided with essential information as early as possible. With Cambridge exams, we can provide the date of the written papers quite early, but it can take a little more time to provide students with the exact time and date of their speaking exam. This is because Cambridge provide us with a range of possible dates for the exam, and we must arrange with external speaking examiners to come to the school. Because these examiners also work on the exam in other schools, it can take a little time for us to finalise a precise time and date for the speaking exam. As a result of this, it can therefore take a little time to provide students with a finalised timetable. We apologise for any delay, and assure you that we were committed to getting the information to all students as quickly as possible.
We hope that we have given a detailed response to your review. It was a pleasure to have you at Atlantic Language and we hope that we may see you again. If there are any other suggestions that you would like to make, please do send an email to [email protected]. Our team are more than happy to speak with you as we are always striving for excellence in what we do.
Fantastic experience: This school is the best! The staff is very helpful and assisted me both before coming to Ireland and during my staying there. The course was well-organized and the teachers were professional, always ready to help me and answer at my questions. Miss you all!
Cristina, thank you for your kind words. It makes us very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Atlantic Language.
Fantastic experience: Sono stata in questa scuola per un tirocinio formativo da luglio a settembre 2018 e la mia esperienza e' stata piu' che positiva!!L'ambiente e' fantastico: entrare in contatto con studenti di diverse nazionalita' e' entusiasmante. I colleghi e i docenti sono persone eccezionali e tutti, davvero TUTTI, ti mettono a proprio agio e ti accolgono ogni mattina con un sorriso. Se avessi l'opportunita' tornerei qui altre 1000 volte!!!
Natasha, thanks a million for your lovely review! It was a pleasure to work with you because of your positive attitude and your desire to learn and improve! We wish you all the best for your future and we hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful time at Atlantic Language in Galway. I studied there for six months and it has been a great experience! The family who hosted me was friendly and the house was located in the city centre, very close to the school. The teachers were competent and the staff was very kind. The school organizes lots of afternoon activities and excursions during the weekend, such as at the Cliffs of Moher or the Aran Islands. I had a great time in this school and I highly recommend it!
Thank you Lara. It was our pleasure to have you here in Galway. We wish you all the best in the future!
Fantastic experience: The school is amazing! If you decide to go to the Atlantic Language you will not only improve your English skills, but you will discover lovely places and take a lot of cool pictures!
Thank you Debora. We are so glad that you are having a great time here in Galway. Enjoy the rest of your time here and please feel free to share your pictures with us on social media. We would love to learn more about your experience in Ireland.
Fantastic experience: l was with us for last week 13-17 august . Great place .Near the centre city .Good teacher , particulary one ,kashi ,l took about her with other student 'Stéphanie' She is amazing for to improve our english . Can you tell her , l 'll try to achieve the nivel B1 in english (my spanish too ) she 'll see my progress. One point in my classroom , we hadn't multimedia equipment ( f 125 ). See you soon . March (1week) or july 2019. (2 week,)
Positive experience: pros: + everyone is very friendly and helpful + the family package is a very good option for families to take their children with them + good program for children - they spend good time to the children + 2 times they help us organizing excursions + the international food day was very nice + nice café / nice buffet with quite cheap prices cons: - it depends a lot, which teacher you have during the lessons !!! some are very good (Katja), some are not the best (no name - I got treated like a school boy - please learn how to teach adults! ) some (new) friends stayed there also for 2 weeks - first week they had a very good teacher, the second week the lessons were not good - some teachers seem not be very good prepared: did they ever read the topic from book once before? we got handwritten photo copies ! (are you serios for that price?) ... - the equipment of some (not every) class rooms is inadequate (no beamer, no Laptop ...) - no multi-media lessons possible ! - the level of some students in the courses (B2, C1) seemed not to be appropriate ! (our oral test was 1 min and we saw a woman who had to do the written test in a loud room with many people around ...) Summary: The employees and many/some/... teachers are very good prepared, friendly, polite and nice! Suggestions for improvement: Better euqipment, more lessons including multi-media equipement and more attention to categorization of the students to the language levels and the possiblity of a feedback after the course (for the teacher). Martin & Daniela (Austria)
Negative experience: A waste of time and money. The groups are done depending on the availability not the students' level. The classes were absolutely disappointing. Maybe it's an option for beginners not for anyone else.
Negative experience: Ich war vom vom 15.juli bis 28.juli in Galway an der atlantic school. Um 8.00Uhr mussten wir einen Test machen. Speaking und writing. Es war ein Rissen kaos. Es war so laut, dass wir uns gar nicht konzentrieren konnten. Der Speaking Test hat genau 2 min gedauert und anhand von den 2 Minuten haben Sie meinen Level bestimmt. Den writing Test durfte ich gar nicht fertig schreiben. Das beste kommt noch, ich hatte einen 30 plus Kurs gebucht aber da waren noch 21 Jährige noch dabei und manche konnten fast kein Englisch. Also totale Verarschung. Manche Zimmer haben nicht einmal Fenster. Wir mussten zu viert einen Tisch teilen. In denen 2 Wochen habe ich 1 mal Grammatik gelernt. Die Nachmittags Stunden waren noch schlimmer. Die gute Lehrerin hatte sich nie vorbereitet. Für 4 Personen gab es immer einen A4 Blatt. ich kamm mir vor wie im Kindergarten. Ich musste 2 Stunden in der Nacht auf meinem Zimmerschlüssel warten und das beim Regen.
Negative experience: I'm still going to school until August. I can't understand their action. When Asian or Brazilian tell some problem to school about teacher or calss, school didn't resolve it. I want to resolve problem, so I contacted to employee who manage student. and then I requested my teacher to help me, but Nothing has changed But if European tell something, school immediately resolve problem. Many friend feel this situation. After I and my schoolmate excluding European went to school few months, we lost satisfaction about school. They aren't interested even if I didn't go to school because of this situation. I think shool doesn't have a lot of teacher.
Fantastic experience: Atlantic School Galway is a great place, with great teachers, awesome atmosphere in the heart of Galway. I have really enjoyed my time here, they make the lesson interesting, while we are having fun, we are also learning new things. Also, meeting new people from different cultures and making new friends for life. Thank you for everything. See you around.
Hey Jader, Thanks for the fantastic review. That`s a great way to start the week.
Fantastic experience: I studied in Atlantic in 2015 and I loved all teachers and staffs. All them very supportive with anything what students needed at that time. Besides the general English that I took in the mornings, at afternoon everybody could have some extra classes about pronunciation, vocabulary or job to hel0 develops more and more the language. Looking forward to coming back to lovely and friendly Galway.
Thanks Julia, that`s a brilliant review. You get a gazillion stars. thanks
Fantastic experience: The best school and teachers EVER
Hi Michele,
Thanks for the fantastic review. It`s a great way to start the weekend.
Atlantic
Fantastic experience: At Atlantic School I found great English Teachers, an excellent infrastructure and staff, including a Portuguese speaker who can help Brazilians. This is important at the beginning of our journey. At Atlantic I could participate in several extra activities in the afternoon and of course I made plenty of new friends. In my opinion it was a perfect choice.
Hi Felipe, thank you for the excellent review. Delighted to see that everything is going well for you here in Atlantic. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Top quality English language school with committed and enthusiastic teaching staff. Bursting with energy, the school is a hub of international culture and the wide range of nationalities helps to create a very pleasant and friendly atmosphere for all you visit the school.
Hi Barry, thanks for the 5 start review. Delighted to see that your exams went well, thanks
Fantastic experience: Great school! It was fun to live in Galway and study here.
Hi Gabriele, thanks so much for the review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time here in Galway. Come back anytime, thanks
Positive experience: Curso de línguas estrangeiras, mas poderia ser melhor. #GuiaLocal #LocalGuide #GuiasLocais #LocalGuides .
Thanks for the fantastic review
Fantastic experience: Scuola fantastica ho imparato davvero tanto, insegnanti attenti e disposti al dialogo. Ci tornerei subito.
Thanks for the fantastic review Irene
Negative experience: Sus puntos positivos: tienen unas buenas instalaciones y actividades para los estudiantes que hace que estés a gusto en su academia. El trato y atención es muy bueno. Una gran mayoría de profesores imparten correctamente el contenido. Puntos de mejora importantes: Para los que van a estudiar varios meses puede que esté bien, pero incluso considero que van muy lentos en impartir el temario. Se pasan muchas horas repitiendo y repitiendo lo mismo que en ocasiones se hace aburrido. Inicialmente te hacen una prueba de nivel y te encuadran en un curso que ya se está impartiendo del A, B1, B2 o C1… en la lección que estén dando en la semana que te incorpores tu harás un contenido u otro. Por lo que es una lotería lo que te enseñaran. En función de las semanas que estés veras las lecciones que se estén impartiendo en ese momento, por lo que veras muy poco contenido, nada intensivo. Por lo tanto no lo recomiendo en absoluto para aquellos que quieran hacer una estancia inferior a dos meses. Conclusión es que no tienen adaptada su metodología de enseñanza para estudiantes de corta estancia. Expuse a la dirección la situación y admitieron que no era adecuado para los que vamos pocas semanas. También admitieron que deberían de realizar cursos específicos para aquellos que van pocas semanas y dar más contenido. Lo consideraran para los próximos años, Así que os comparto mi experiencia para evitar que caigáis en el mismo error. Eso si aceptan estudiantes para una semana, a mi parecer fuera de lugar.
Hi Ramon,
Thank you for your review even though it is only 2 stars. We are a 5 Star English Language School and the points that you made at the beginning of your review demonstrate the positive experience.
You do make some very positive points about the school:
1. They have good facilities and activities for the students that make it fit for your school.
2. The deal and attention is very good.
3. A large majority of teachers correctly instruct the content.
Thank you for your important suggestions and I hope that we can improve on your next experience here in Atlantic Language School.
Kind regards
Atlantic Language School
Fantastic experience: The best English school ever. I really had beautiful time ☘️
Hi Sivox, That is a fantastic review. Thanks a million times over.
Positive experience: Dependes mucho del profesor que te toque, estuve un mes, conocí a 3 profesores en mi estancia y una de verdad que era muy mala, pero los otros dos profesores fueron de sobresaliente.
Thanks for the fantastic review
Negative experience: It,s nice with helpful enough staff
Hi Sarah,
I`m the marketing and communications officer here in Atlantic Language School. We are late in replying to your review. Atlantic Language School is an excellent school so I would like to know why you have given us such a poor review as it appears you have never been a student or a teacher or a member of staff.
I would love to hear from you on this matter.
Regards
Fantastic experience: Thank you that you have helped me to learn English . You are a great team, I hope to see you again.
Hi Claudia, come back soon. It`s been too long. Thanks for the fantastic review.
Atlantic
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my stay here. Galway is a cozy and nice city. I really liked the Atlantic Language School, the staff is friendly and I improved my English during these 5 weeks. My host family made me feel at home and the excursions during the weekend were amazing: the Cliffs of Moher are really unforgettable!
Thank you so much Maria for the wonderful 5 Stars. Delighted to see that you enjoyed your trip. Come back anytime.
Fantastic experience: Studying in Atlantic Language Galway changed my life. It was a lifetime experience. I started at elementary and I ended up working for them!! The Staff is great, helpful and professional. The social activities organised by the school are real fun and allows you to interact and meet new friends and different cultures. I highly recommend the school if you want to really improve your English and enjoy culture and nature. If you want to get the most of it I'd suggest to stay more than three months.
Thanks mario
Negative experience: PUES RECIÉN LLEGADA DE ESE MARAVILLOSO PAÍS, LA ACADEMIA ME PARECE PERFECTA PARA TENER TIEMPO Y DINERO PARA DEDICARLE A APRENDER INGLES, PORQUE SU RITMO DE APRENDIZAJE ES MUY LENTO. EL GRUPO B1 AL QUE ME ASIGNARON DESPUÉS DE LA PRUEBA DE NIVEL ES UN CAJÓN DE SASTRE, AL NO EXISTIR UN NIVEL PRE-INTERMEDIO. ALLÍ HABÍA GENTE CON MUCHO MÁS NIVEL QUE SE ABURRÍA Y GENTE QUE NO SABÍA DECIR UNA FRASE EN INGLÉS, SINO MÁS BIEN EN ESPANGLISH. LA BUENA VOLUNTAD DE LOS PROFESORES QUE HE TENIDO HA SUPLIDO LA CARENCIA DE PROACTIVIDAD DEL STAFF DE LA ACADEMIA, QUE NO HAN DADO SOLUCIONES A LAS NECESIDADES QUE LES HE PLANTEADO, SIN NINGÚN TIPO DE CINTURA PARA ADAPTARSE A LAS NECESIDADES DE LOS ALUMNOS. DEL APARTADO DE BUSINESS ENGLISH HE DE DECIR QUE EN NINGÚN CASO LAS DOS SEMANAS ESTUVIERON ESTRUCTURADAS PARA FACILITAR EL APRENDIZAJE Y EL PRESENTARSE AL EXAMEN "BULATS". EL PROFESOR SE ENTERÓ DE QUE ESTABA MATRICULADA DE DICHO EXAMEN EL VIERNES DE LA PRIMERA SEMANA LO CUAL RESULTA PARADÓJICO SINO LAMENTABLE CUANDO PAGAS MUCHO DINERO Y SACRIFICAS TUS VACACIONES PARA HACER ESTA TIPO DE CURSOS EN EL EXTRANJERO. DESDE LUEGO NO RECOMENDARÍA LA ACADEMIA EN NINGÚN CASO.
Negative experience: LA ACADEMIA ES PERFECTA PARA QUE GANEN DINERO PERO NO PARA APRENDER INGLÉS DE MANERA INTENSIVA, ENTRE OTRAS COSAS PORQUE SU RITMO DE APRENDIZAJE ES MUY LENTO,,,,,, COMO PARA ESCOLARES OLVIDANDO QUE QUIENES VAMOS ALLÍ SOMOS GENTE ADULTA. COMPAÑEROS/AS ME CONTABAN QUE EN LOS PRIMEROS NIVELES TE INSISTEN EN ENSEÑARTE LAS PARTES DEL CUERPO,,,,,,, POR FAVOR ¡¡¡¡ EL PROBLEMA DE LOS ESPAÑOLES NO ES TANTO DE GRAMÁTICA QUE SUELE SER DE MUY BUEN NIVEL, COMO DE LA CONVERSACIÓN,PRONUNCIACIÓN. MI EXPERIENCIA CON UN INTENSIVO HA SIDO MALA PORQUE EN DOS SEMANAS HEMOS TRATADO EL PRESENT PERFECT, PRESENT CONTINUOUS Y EL PAST SIMPLE, Y NO ES QUE LLEVARA DEMASIADAS EXPECTATIVAS, SIMPLEMENTE ESPERABA QUE MIS NECESIDADES DE APRENDIZAJE FUERAN ATENDIDAS Y UNA VEZ ACABADO MI CURSO EN LA ESCUELA SIENTO QUE AÚN NO SABEN CUALES SON MIS NECESIDADES COMO ALUMNO. DE LA PARTE DE NEGOCIOS,,,,, NI HABLO, UN DESASTRE PARA ALGUIEN QUE LLEVA AÑOS EN EL MUNDO LABORAL. LA VERDAD, DESDE MI EXPERIENCIA, ES QUE NO CUMPLEN LO QUE DICE EL PROGRAMA PARA EL QUE TE INSCRIBES. UN INTENSIVO EN NINGÚN LUGAR PUEDE SER UN TEMA POR SEMANA COMO EN LA ACADEMIA DE TU BARRIO.
