“I really enjoyed my classes. The lessons were well structured. The Liverpool School of English makes it easy to get in touch with people with the social programme and free support classes. The atmosphere is excellent and a happy feeling flows in the air. That’s how a school should be. I will definitely come back to Liverpool and the LSE.”
