We wouldn’t have done so well in our FCE and then IELTS exams without such an amazing teacher!

Yasmine and Bee, from Italy and Germany

My summer school student went to Kingscote English School and I was amazed at how her English improved dramatically after only a month of lessons. She found the school very friendly and the small classes gave her more confidence to learn. I would definitely recommend Kingscote.

We wouldn’t have done so well in our exams without such an amazing teacher, you’re not only a teacher that taught us FCE and IELTS, but our ‘mentor’…you helped us grow and become stronger and more confident..we are extremely happy and thankful!
