Positive experience: Good
Fantastic experience: When I first arrive to Ireland a friend of mine recommended this school. I was already quite proficient in the language but with their help I really learned and got way better. Thanks to them I got a pretty high score in the IELTS academic. So if money is not an issue, I highly recommend this school.
Fantastic experience: I love it I had such a good time and improved my English so much
Fantastic experience: I was lucky to spend 3 weeks at Emerald Cultural Institute taking English classes. It was a wonderful experience. The management and teachers are very attentive. The courses are of a high standard. The building (an old large house) helps to create links between students and teachers. You feel like you're part of a family. I would recommend an experience at Emerald for people of all levels of English and all ages.
Negative experience: Totalmente sconsigliata. Mia figlia Maria da Rimini, é appena rientrata da questa scuola di lingua inglese ma basandomi sulle sue considerazioni é rimasta profondamente delusa almeno per tre motivu I) si parla in continuazione in italiano considerando che la maggior parte degli studenti proviene dagli amici presidi della dirigenza (robe di intrecci) 2) la scuola è posizionata lontana dal centro 50 minuti un ora di bus ad andare e altri 50 a tornare ( praticamente due ore solo per visitare ik centro) 3) i costi. SALATI e meno vantaggiosi rispetto a centrali scuole internazionali come delfin dove gli studenti vengono seguiti lontani dagli intrecci delle situazioni italiane..
