"An excellent language vacation"

Vadim Samokhin, student from Afghanistan

I studied for 2 weeks only, but I liked it very much. Our teacher was Sam, and he made really interesting lessons. He offered several topics for discussion between students with new lexics to study. I think this is a perfect way to spend 2 weeks language vacation.

"Professional"

Noa Vu, student from UK

The venue is clean and nice, the teacher is professional. However, it was quite hard to find the plaza. The classroom is a bit small.

"Rewarding expérience"

Melanie-Anne Wiame, student from Belgium

I would have liked the conversation classes to be more structured and more large group conversations. the grammar lessons were very constructive and very good pedagogy. classes are a bit small and sometimes windowless.

"Great Location with friendly staff"

Benedict Gehe, student from Germany

I really enjoyed my Time the school, the teacher were great and the topics we covered were everyday topics which were useful to learn. The relation between Students and Teacher as well as the relations between the students were great.

The school is located at the International Plaza in the heart of Singapore it is easily accessible via Bus, Taxi or MRT which all have their own stops/stations right next to the Main Entrance which makes using public transport really convenient.

Because I only had classes in the morning I often ate lunch with classmates after class at the food courts or Restaurants in the area which sell all kind of cuisines.

I really enjoyed my time at SLI and i hope I am able to visit Singapore again.

Thank you!

"10/10"

Suyeon Kim

I've had a great experience with School of Language International and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn English. I took a conversational speaking class for about a year and all the teachers I has were very patient and knowledgeable. They always encourage students to have confidence and speak more which helped me to improve my speaking skills a lot.

"Great school with great teachers"

Velden Yap

The school is conveniently located right next to the tanjong pagar mrt station, and only takes me a few minutes to travel there. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing me with snacks and coffee. My teacher was very nice and friendly, helping me with words I didn't know and helped me improve my english speaking and writing.
