Bsher

Sandra
(France)

"I came to CIE to take an intensive course because I need to speak English for my job. When I arrived for my first school day, I was very surprised. It was in August 2011 and there were a lot of young students from everywhere in the world! After a few hours, it wasn't a problem anymore: I found people very interesting and I particularly appreciated to learn things of others countries during the week I stayed. The courses were funny and friendly. Teachers were very nice and approachable. It was so good that I wanted to return ASAP, and I did 2 months later for 2 weeks. I chose a mixed course: General English in the morning and private courses in the afternoon. I advise this kind of course for people who want to improve their English more quickly and I advise that period (out of summer) for adults because there are less young people. We can be closer to teachers and we can focus on our difficulties. I'm very convinced by this college and its staff so I decided to send my son, who is 17, for the next summer... I hope he'll get the same pleasure as me!"

Lourdes
(Spain)

"CIE is a very friendly school but serious. I learned a lot of English in a short period of time. Thank you teachers, I am going back to Spain very happy."

Rosario
(Italy)

"Our times at CIE were very exciting, I remember the moments with our teachers and friends, when we played ping pong and when we watched a movie completely in English, I remember all the times spent at CIE and I think that if I could return I would not think twice about it. I want to say goodbye all the teachers that helped me to improve my English. Bye bye."

Other Testimonials

"We applied to CIE by recommendation of English teacher who already visited this college with the group of young students. This summer a small group of our students of different age (from 9 to 29) spent 3 weeks in Oxford studying in CIE. We started preparing a study tour programme 5 months before arrival. We wanted to make this trip as rich with various activities as possible, so the group had many interesting excursions in and out of Oxford. At first we had many worries and questions about living, host families, and asked endless questions regarding accommodation, excursions, arrival and etc. But everything was organized excellent and even better then we could expect, everything - host families, accommodation, meals, the college and its friendful teachers, excursions and various activities. And of course convenient location at the centre of the city is also one of the merits. Should we have a possibility to come to the Great Britain again for studying, our company would apply to CIE again without any doubts, because I know that I can entirely entrust children to CIE and be sure that everything will be well-organised. And I would definitely recommend CIE for their friendly attitude, prompt replies and their willingness to help."

"My 16-year old daughter is still nostalgic about the time spent at CIE in Oxford last summer. She enjoyed literally every minute of it - the school staff, friendly and helpful, the interesting and involving classes in an international environment, the week-end trips to Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick Castle, Winchester and Stonehenge. As a mother, I appreciated the personal approach we were given: we received exhaustive information about the course, all my enquiries were promptly answered. I felt I was entrusting my daughter to people who cared and were responsible. She came back with a nice British accent, photos of her teachers and classmates and a dream to go back one day."
