The world is a place where variant languages are used. In all, 75% of the world country uses English as their L1 and others as their L2. Therefore, English is an acceptable norm over the globe.

The best English learning ever had in my life! The teacher provides the best learning method, games. We had to move, observe, investigate and many more. And the more important was, all those things done with fun, and i love it very much! I enjoyed all of the school activities.
Again, the teachers are cool! The place is cozy! Facilities are great! The homestay where i stayed, is a great place too, and the neighbours are kind too. Want to be back there again someday.

I am an intern at Select English and have found the family-run school very welcoming. The teachers seem to be genuinely focused on the academic learning. I have seen students really improve their English here.

It was one of the best experience that I ever had. English become very fun and applicable with all games that we had in the class, and I had no choice to communicate with my friends there beside in English :-)
And having those experience in Cambridge was another thing that make it more perfect, I loves the environment, I always enjoyed every time I walk from the residence to the school, a lot of parks to spend time with friends, environment that I don't have in my home country. I really hope someday I will have a chance to come back and study there again :-)
