     The school is only 20 minutes from the centre of London.
    The school is only 20 minutes from the centre of London and it is located in a quiet and typical English area. From the very first moment I arrived, I got along very well with my classmates and teachers. Lessons are structured in such a way as all students from different age and level can improve their communication skills very well.

     The teachers get along with all of the students.
    I learnt how to express myself, how to listen, how to write and to believe in myself. I sincerely think that LAL is a good school, and all of the teachers are so kind, good listeners and understanding. The teachers get along with all of the students.

     The teachers adapt to the students’ interests.
    I find it very useful for my career as a lawyer dealing with company law and business contracts. I enrich my vocabulary and get an additional set of information focussed on business issues such as negotiating, dealing with communication breakdowns, structuring e-mails etc. The teachers adapt to the students’ interests.

     All the staff and teachers are very kind and friendly.
    I was so happy to stay and study at IELS Gozo. All the staff and teachers are very kind and friendly and I had a great time learning and also going out and enjoying the beauty of Gozo with my new friends. My flat above the school had a balcony with a wonderful view. After lessons I went on lots of activities like Segway tours and boat trips.
