General English Intensive

When I came to Norwich Study Centre “Flying Clasrooms School of English”, my goal was to gain some self-confidence and communicate in English. Thank my motivated teachers, who have put some order into my English knowledge, and my classmates, who have given me a huge push by talking to me in English every day, I am happy to have reached this goal.

I enjoyed working with other teachers. I would have loved it more had there been more teachers with the same level I am teaching. There were 4 of us in our class and all teaching different levels and one of them teaching another language.
Your teachers were great and helpful.
We visited other classes twice. It would be better to stay the whole lesson and not having to leave after 45 minutes and I would also let the teacher tell the class why we are there.

I spent two incredible weeks in this school, you feel immediately very comfortable in the class thanks to the small group. The teachers are irreproachable, it allowed me to meet people of different nationalities!
I highly recommend this school which made me progress in English!

The teachers were kind, patient and willing to help anytime. I really liked that when a student asked some question but the teacher didn't know the answer right away, he searched on the internet or asked other teachers, so he was able to help the student after all. I especially liked the teachers motivation to find differences and similarities between english and other languages the student were able to speak.
The school is located in the centre of Norwich, which is very useful because all kinds of stores, reastaurants and the most popular sights are within walking distance.
Classes were welcoming and always clean. The common room was a very nice place to meet people from different countries, no matter the age.

From my point of view the classes were excellent as were the teachers. The location of the school was just right, just a stroll away from the City Centre.

I had a problem with my five and ten pound notes (had the old ones) and they were so kind and gave me new ones in exange of my old ones!

The activities we did during our stay were ok but for example, the extra curricular activities, as for example the trip to Cambridge, were a bit expensive, that made me go to Cambridge by my self.

All in all, everything was great.

All the teachers were professional and helpful, so was the school staff. Everybody was extremely kind and friendly.
The activities were very interesting and involving. The school premises were fine too. The lessons were engaging, interesting and challenging. all the teachers gave us tips and hands on suggestions to improve our work in our country. I have already planned to go back to Norwich for another course next year, a more tailor-made course only for TEYL that the school is ready to personalize if we have some other teachers interested in the same area of teaching.

My teachers were really competent and the classes were involving, but I didn't enjoy the teaching replacements sometimes. The school's location is really good, because it's central and not too far away from the train station. The calendar of activities was clear and detailed. The school secretary was available to answer any queries. The school library has few books to choose from or to borrow.

Teachers were very good and location was excellent. School does not have a lot facilities for the students (no WiFi, no microwave, the course does not include books).

I could not finish my course (per justifiable reason) and school did not allow me to transfer my remaining weeks to another student (friends, family, etc). so, I lost 2 weeks worth of money.

I think school should give some return, transfer, etc. in these cases, because I paid for a 14-week course (long time).

I did not like the teaching, but the people (students, teachers, housemates) were good people.

I'm quite happy about my improvements. I know that in the short time that I've had (13 weeks), it is pretty difficult to speak fluently without errors of grammar and to listen as well. Flying Classrooms has a great team of professionals and I have nothing to complain about them. Clever strategies of teaching really helps when you are sharing the class with students of different cultures and ages. The building is well-located and easy to find. We also had a "social activity staff", who every Friday gave us options of entertainment on weekends as going to pubs, parks and shopping for example. I really liked the teachers and sometimes I felt that having 14 persons at the same time in the same class was a little disturbing. So maybe a suggestion is to put a maximum limit of 12 persons in each classroom.

The quality of school, the teachers, the classrooms were very good to great.

I enjoyed every lesson, but I missed the activities outside of the school. I really had a great time in Norwich and I will never forget this week!

Well, my first time in Norwich and in Flying Classrooms was rather scary because I had no idea how to deal with English people and I had huge language barrier as well. But all the teachers in FC helped me with it, and now I feel absolutely confident about my English skills. I have been to school for 4 times and each time is a new experience in English culture, language and people. What about teachers, I can say only one thing: THEY ARE GREAT! All the teachers are absolutely helpful, friendly, funny and sometimes strict. Therefore, office management is also helpful, if someone needs help, he/she just needs to visit student officer and he will help with all one's problems.

Summing up, it was amazing being in FC, meeting new people with different culture and language. I also wish that soon I can come back to school not to study but to meet my friends (who are already best friends) to share with them my achievements which this school helped me with.
