EFL Ireland - Waterford English Language Courses.

Fantastic experience: EFL Ireland offers great all inclusive packages: morning lessons run by great teachers that truly cared about our students, a great variety of trips and activities such as guided tours in castles, escape room, Vicking VR experience, bowling, aquapark, minigolf, full day trips and half day trips to nearby villages and cities like Cork and Dublin... just to name a few! Excellent accomodation too, the apartments have 3 or 4 rooms each with its own bathroom. It is really the best value for money and the kids enjoyed every bit of this amazing experience.

Fantastic experience: Summer-Camp muy recomendable. La organización y dinámica de trabajo tanto de las clases como de las actividades que organizan son absolutamente ejemplares. La implicación, generosidad y amabilidad de Richard en todo momento es maravillosa, siempre está atento de cada detalle. Sin duda volveremos a participar el próximo verano.

Fantastic experience: Ha sido un placer trabajar con Richard. Un hombre muy generoso y atento a las necesidades tanto de los alumnos como de los monitores. Ha sido una estancia maravillosa, en gran parte gracias a Richard. En cuanto a la escuela, ninguna pega. El establecimiento era tranquilo y acogedor y no podía haber mejores profesores. Gracias por todo. Hemos disfrutado mucho!

Fantastic experience: I went to Waterford as students’ group leader My experience with EFL Ireland has been wonderful. All my students enjoyed and learned a lot The classes are great. The teachers are really good and kind. Pat, Lucy, Sandi, Josephine, Delia: my students loved you and loved your classes About the activity schedule, we did lot of interesting activities: we were able to discover all about Waterford history and their vikings, we visited Dublin, we went to really interesting museums, we visited lot of historical monuments, we discover typical irish things, we practiced a huge variety of sports (hurling, pitch and putt, bowling, surfing…), we enjoyed visiting natural landscapes, we had lot of fun with the roller disco and the karaoke contest… The activity schedule has lot of variety so every student can enjoy it. My students and i, we honestly did love all the activities we did EFL Ireland gave us the opportunity to live with host families or at a student residence. I have been living for 3 weeks at the residence and I felt like at home: the residence consists in apartments, each apartament has different rooms and dinning room with kitchen, each person has their own room with their own toilet. My experience at the residence was 10/10 On the other hand, most of my students were home-stay, living with host families. They did not have a single problem with their host families. I got impressed (in a good way) because all the hosts were so nice and so good with all the students. The houses were really good and the food they made for the students was delicious. They asked the students what do they like, in order to cook food that they will like. That is very nice detail they all had with the students The school director, Richard, is a really good man. He loves his work and he worries about every single detail. He knew every student and who was their host and where they lived. He is available at any time in case of emergency. He was really fast in solving any little problem we had or any doubt. My students love him and we all will miss him a lot This trip have been such a great opportunity for my students to learn and practice english while they had a great time and a live changing experience. It was also really good time for me We could not be happier. Thank you, EFL Ireland, thank you, Richard. I hope to see you next summer

Fantastic experience: As a group leader I was quite pleasantly surprised as to how well the extra activities were organized for my students. The students were satisfied with their linguistic improvement. Richard, the director, was very friendly, kind and helpful. Thanks Richard for making this a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Richard, el director, muy atento a nuestras hijas cuando fueron allí a estudiar en verano. Siempre pendiente y dispuesto a ayudar. Lo recomiendo!

Fantastic experience: Richard is the best. He’s ALWAYS helping everybody. He’s very nice and kind. THANKS A MILLION, RICHARD!

Fantastic experience: Thanks for your hard work. Great trip! Richard did a fabby job!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience. Kiitos!

Positive experience: I went to Ireland for two weeks.First, we stayed in Hookless which was a holiday homes. This place was comfortable, relax and very beautiful. After three days, we moved to Waterford where we spent the rest of the days. This city was small and charming. The thing I like the most is the kindness of the people who live here. In addition to this, we did different activities. For example, we visited the Arboretum in memory of John Kennedy which was beautiful and big. Besides, we visited Dublin which was wonderful and with different monuments to see. On the other hand, we have gone to English class with teachers from Ireland. The lessons were dynamic, fun and we have learned different things from this country. To sum up, this trip has been a great experience that I would like to repeat again.

Negative experience: Después de la opinión de Súper Richard Star para desprestigiar mi opinión, tenéis 2 opciones, creerme y no dejaros engañar o creerle a él y experimentar lo que yo avisé. Solidaridad y verdad. Además quiso manipularnos para que pusiésemos sólo cosas buenas!!!! People from Waterford was very nice. But the English course has Been totally dissapointing. I've lost my Time and my Money! It wasnt profesional, except Francis & Anthony that at least they worked their classes. The best experience were the group from Spain.

Fantastic experience: Great country and great people!!

Negative experience: The english course has been certainly disappointing, there has been lack of professionalism (except for Frances and Anthony).Great the partners, irish people, landscapes, Frances' classes and some of the excursions and visits. Waterford is a very nice city but small for 11 days. One day trips too short to big cities such as Dublin and Cork.

Positive experience: Me ha gustado mucho lo que he visto de Irlada, el paisage, su gente, amables, educados, alegres. El bosque fue precioso, y la costa. Las clases me han gustado, prefiero las que son mas activas, en la que los alumbos participamos. Las actividades muy interesantes y divertidas, mision imposible muy muy útil y divertida. Gracias a todos

Positive experience: I have been in waterford for two weeks, I have had english clases with three nices teachers and I with my group have travelling for some Irish cities . I enjoyed a lot. I love this country but the best is the people here. Thanks at all

Positive experience: Las clases me han parecido interesantes aunque con algunos profesores más difíciles para mi nivel. Hubiera preferido más juegos e intercambio en clase Respecto a las actividades y visitas me han gustado mucho el bosque, la montaña y Dublin. Waterford es una ciudad muy amable. Me hepa encantado el trato de su gente y los parques. Una buena experiencia

Positive experience: It has been interesting. I dont know too much English, but I think I have learnt a little more. In the free time the most I have liked has been the Comeragh Mountains and the beautiful forests.

Fantastic experience: Our experience in Ireland has been amazing. We spent two weeks at EFL Ireland in Waterford, a charming city in the sunny south east of the country. We were delighted discovering its impressive viking inherirance. Our school was really close to a beautiful park and we had a wide range of restaurants, cafés and pubs nearby. We had three different teachers, which gave us the opportunity to listen to different accents. Our trips and excursions were really interesting: a great mixing of nature, history and culture. The best part of our trip: Irish people!!! They made us feel at home.

Positive experience: I spent two weeks un Ireland. Waterford is a medieval, viking and cute city whose streets are full of colours and kind people. The residence is not in the centre bur It is easy to go everywhere and also It is clean and confortable. The school is nice and the teachers too but I have to say that Anthony's accent was so hard for me. I would like doing more dynamic exercises. If you have the chance to visit Waterford, you must visita Bishop Palace and Waterford Crystal. And the Reg and Geooff's if you would drink a beer or spend a good time!!

Positive experience: Waterford is a nice town to stay. The activities and excursions are great although we would have need more time for the one day trips at the weekends. Frances, one of our teachers, is great!!

Fantastic experience: Organization is good and I’m fine now!

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and wonderful city. the school program is very diverse, which is good for foreign students

Fantastic experience: This program is very interesting and fun. I fell in love with Waterford, I really like my school and family. Polina Afanaseva.

Fantastic experience: I’m very happy to join this program. It really helps me to improve my English. My school is perfect, my host family is friendly and great. EFL IRELAND - it was a right choice!

Fantastic experience: It's a really cool program. It's a good chance for students from another country to study English.

Fantastic experience: Tres Bon !!

Positive experience: IRELAND 2018, 2019 As you probably know, STEP organises every year some language exchanges through all Ireland. Well, I’m Haizea, a 15-year-old girl who has been twice in Ireland during one month with this company, STEP. Firstly, I’d like to talk about my 1st year in Waterford and my experience there. I lived with a really nice Irish family, the Murphy’s. Robyn, who was 11, was lovely and we have so many good memories together which I will never forget. Shelley, her mum; John, her dad and Peter, her old brother, were kind as well. They actually did my time in Ireland much better and I’m so glad of staying with this family, they took care of me, they are fabulous. During the week I used to go to Lady Mercy Secondary school. Teachers were lovely, they gave me the attention I needed and they helped me every time I asked. I could find out subjects I’ve never done before and I learnt things I never imagined I would learn. People were pleasant and I could improve my English properly. It was a great experience. If anyone asks me about the time I spent in Ireland, I must tell them about the different activities we did. We visited lots of interesting museums such as the Viking Museum with the VR glasses in Waterford or the Leprechaun museum in Dublin. We also went to Cork and Kilkenny. I have so many funny memories from those trips and the people who I went with. Those daytrips wouldn’t be possible without our coordinator, Richard. He took us to the cinema and he always came with us. He helped us when we needed him and he kept our opinion in mind to decide the activities which is quite admirable. IRELAND 2019 This year has been completely different, because the family I stayed with, the school and the activities have changed even if I’ve been in Waterford on the same time of the year. When I firstly met my host family I knew they would be great and nice. Mia and Kaitlyn, twin girls, have been so funny and kind and I could learn a lot from them. I met their friends and family as well, which was incredible. Glen and Amber, the other teenagers of the family, were also lovely. Adrian and Audrey, my host parents, gave me whatever I needed and they have been wonderful company during my stay here, in Ireland. I should say that they I’ve enjoyed so much with them, they are a great family to stay with. One of the best things of those few weeks has been undoubtedly the school, Waterpark College. I actually learnt so much from the Transition Year, I have met lots of fantastic new people and so many nice teachers. Besides, I had the opportunity to go to Croke Park, to the cinema and I could even go ice skating. I’m so grateful with the school that gave me the chance to do those amazing activities. Talking about activities I’d like to focus on the ones we did with Richard this year. They have been different from the last year, we went to Dublin, we went to the Smithwick's Experience in Kilkenny and to the Titanic museum in Cork. They were so good and I could learn about Irish culture a bit more. We also used to have free time to go shopping or go for a walk through the city centre. Well, I’d like to finish saying thanks to all the people who spent these wonderful months with me, you made my experience absolutely amazing. Thanks to STEP as well, for making it possible. Thanks a million.

Fantastic experience: One of my students from Catalonia, Spain spent a month at athe school in Waterford and had a great time. The host family were hospitable and friendly and I was very impressed by all the organisation. I would certainly recommend this organisation and have no hesitation in sending more students there.

Fantastic experience: First class English education from a native North American. Easy to understand, clear spoken instruction. The school is in a beautiful setting. The time invested in learning will pay dividends for a lifetime!

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience. Great teaching staff, fun activities, and all in beautiful Ireland.

Fantastic experience: I visited this school as a group leader in July 2016 and had a great time there. The teacher's staff is fiendly and kind to both children and group leaders. The school Principal, Richard, is caring and takes part himself in after school activities. All the activities are informative and enjoyable as well. We went to Swiss Cottage, Cahir Castle, Waterford Crystal and even dogs' races ( which was quite an unusual experience for me specially) . In the end of the course children have a chance to show the final product of their language learning experience in the form of a performance on a real theatre stage. That's amazing! I was lucky to be in this place and recommend to visit it if you want to improve your language skills and enjoy the local beauties and culture.

Fantastic experience: A true centre of learning excellence, in the heart of Waterford City, the first, oldest and most historically important Viking settlement in Ireland. Richard's knowledge, expertise and professionalism is incredible. I worked here for a few summers and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the job, from the teaching & learning, to the afternoon activities, and the day trips. I made friends for life here, in a wonderfully friendly, supportive and educational setting. Would completely recommend EFL Ireland to both students and teachers. A very enjoyable experience. Thank you Richard.
