Beyond my language skills, ELC has also helped me build a social life in Sydney. I’ve met so many friends from around the world, which is something I love about ELC—it’s so multicultural, and I’ve learned so much about different cultures.

Before joining ELC, my English level wasn’t very strong, especially in speaking. But since starting here, I’ve improved my speaking, vocabulary, and grammar, all thanks to the highly skilled teachers. They’ve helped me progress in the easiest and most enjoyable way. My teachers, Dorothy and Emma, have always been so kind and supportive, and I’ve truly enjoyed every moment in class with them.

A big thank you to all the teachers, staff, and friends I’ve met during my time here!

Social activities especially are above my expectations. The school organises lots of activities like Scary Canary, museums, tours, cinemas, weekend trips… there is something almost every day. It’s great!

Everything at ELC is above my expectations. Social activities especially are above my expectations. The school organises lots of activities like Scary Canary, museums, tours, cinemas, weekend trips… there is something almost every day. It’s great!

I like the studying process – how it’s organised. In my classes we talk about very interesting topics, such as climate change and globalisation. I like the teachers here – Angela is very nice and very competent teacher and so is Lucia.

Our accommodation (Study house) is very convenient. It’s close to school and is in good condition. Everything is great!

Īpaši sociālās aktivitātes pārsniedza manas cerības. Skola organizē daudz aktivitāšu, piemēram, “Baisā Kanārijputniņa”, muzejus, ekskursijas, kinoteātrus, nedēļas nogales braucienus… gandrīz katru dienu kaut kas notiek. Tas ir lieliski!

Man patīk mācību process – kā tas ir organizēts. Savās stundās mēs runājam par ļoti interesantām tēmām, piemēram, klimata pārmaiņām un globalizāciju. Man patīk skolotāji šeit – Andžela ir ļoti jauka un ļoti kompetenta skolotāja, tāpat kā Lūcija.

Mūsu izmitināšana (mācību nams) ir ļoti ērta. Tā atrodas netālu no skolas un ir labā stāvoklī. Viss ir lieliski!
