"Easy"

Lara Brönnimann, student from Switzerland

I’m really happy with my stay at Tiberius International. We had a mixed class of 2-7 people from all over the world. The atmosphere in the classroom is really respectful, funny and calm.
Since the class was mixed and the language levels were a bit different from person to person, the lessons were a bit slow sometimes. The teacher, did anyway a good job and tried to adjust to the different levels and gave me some additional exercises.
