Impressive musical heritage is not all you will find in Liverpool: it also boasts two Premier League football clubs, the largest open-air shopping mall in Europe, and has UNESCO World Heritage status thanks to its rich cultural diversity. With the largest collection of museums and art galleries outside of London, internationally renowned landmarks, and a thriving nightlife, students will never be short of something to do.

Our English school is just a short walk from the Royal Liver Building, from whose roofs the mythical Liver Birds watch over the town – and the Cavern Club, where the Beatles first performed.
All the world once flowed through the port of Liverpool: coffee, sugar, silk – and people all passed through Britain’s gateway to the Atlantic. Liverpool’s legacy of seafaring and trade is tangible in the stark grandeur of the Victorian docks and warehouses and the extravagant buildings created to display the wealth of the city’s Edwardian merchants and bankers. And you can sense its history as a cultural melting pot in the music with which Liverpool continues to reach out to the world.
Overall organization: deceptive. Personal attendance: deceptive.
I stated very clearly that I needed high-level grammar lessons plus improve my writing skills to achieve beyond 7 in IELTS. I was given an entry test, where I scored a proficiency level. I was put in an intermediate-advanced level class, mixed with pupils enable to write a single sentence in English. Teachers knew far less grammar than myself and, what is worse, did not have their lessons prepared. They spoke a very basic English, with a range of vocabulary that would not get a 7 in IELTS.
Moreover, the website offers 28 lessons per week in the course I paid for (IELTS Supplementary). I was given 15 lessons per week. In Spain, we call this a CHEAT.
And I won't spend my time talking about accommodation because there are no adjectives to describe how awful they were.
