"I’ll be back."

Wan-Chi Huang, student from Canada

The school location is awesome and convenient. My first teacher was fun when I studied in B3. I found out the B3 level was too difficult for me, and it made me feel stressful. I went to Academic department to change my class. The academics interviewed me and change my class to B1 level right away. The B1 teacher was nice and patient. I had a wonderful experience overall in ILSC.

"It was good and stressful."

Marialba Morena, student from Venezuela

The teacher was very good, the class, I didn’t really like because the person who sold me the curse told me that the class was going to be with older people but my classmate were teenagers and they were very shy so it was very difficult to learn and speak with them. The facilities very useful and excellent. The location is good, the activities very dynamics.
