"Grate and passionate English teacher, grate location. Ok facilities. No activities, good accommodations."

Gillian Nielsen, student from Denmark

I liked very much our teacher.
Accommodation was just fine I moved once to a near to city place.
The first 14 days I used 1,5 hours to come to the city. After that I used only 45min and it was ok.
There was no activity in or after school.
