WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

I studied at ELS Sydney for six weeks. For the first two 2 weeks I was in the General English program and after that I took a 4 weeks IELTS preparation course.

I loved this school because the teachers were very professional and devoted. Most of all, I was impressed by my IELTS teacher, he was constantly challenging me to accelerate my English capabilities. I sincerely appreciate his teaching, passion and enthusiasm he showed me.
