I must say I am very thankful for you to put me in the CAE class despite the fact that I wasn’t here from the beginning of the course. All my classmates were bright and cheerful, but at the same time they were all different which made me feel very comfortable and gave me the sense of belonging. Elin was definitely one of the best English teacher I’ve had in my life, as she was always open to questions, understood our characters really well, and gave us effective suggestions for our improvements.

ELC has been a fantastic place to learn English! The school combines strong language teaching with a welcoming atmosphere that reflects the friendly culture of Sydney. The teachers are supportive and truly care about each student’s progress. I’ve improved my English skills a lot here and feel confident using them in daily life. Highly recommended!

ELC taught me many things beyond English; it introduced me to other languages, cultures, and traditions that I never imagined I’d learn. Above all, it showed me that the world has no barriers and that, despite our different backgrounds, we are all here with the same goal: to learn how to enjoy life in new ways.

Thank you and your team very much for organizing such a fantastic program for our group. They have enjoyed their stay in Sydney thoroughly and so have their parents who are so fascinated with all the pictures and the different programs everyday.  We believe it is a great success thanks to your professional work and your school is impressive. The group leaders are also impressed with your teaching and classroom activities. They think it has been a wonderful experience for our students.  Thank you again and look forward to our further cooperation. Regards to your team and all the effort!

ELC has become almost like a second home to me. Studying there has boosted my confidence in English. I’ve been able to improve my English skills by 1% every day, thanks to the supportive and empowering teachers, comfortable learning environment, and the consistently friendly and kind staff at ELC. Choosing and trusting ELC was the right decision.

I had a great time attending ELC for 8 weeks! Not only did I study English, but I also visited various places in Sydney with my classmates, creating wonderful memories. It was also a great opportunity for me to make friends from different countries. After graduating from ELC and returning home, I think I’ll miss many things. I want to thank all my friends and teachers for giving me such great memories!

Excellent teachers, a friendly reception team, and a variety of English activities make this school a great place to learn and practice the language.

I lived my experience in Australia in an extraordinary way. This is also thanks to my host family. They are very kind, precise and welcoming people. They took care of me, ensuring fresh and always good food respecting my limitations. That is, no pork meat, the food was always lactose-free. The house was always clean. I really have to thank them. This was my best experience.

The accommodation is very nice, clean and functional. It’s close to public transports and it’s very nice for international students. Thank you ELC!

At ELC, you learn English from qualified, motivated, and friendly teachers with state-of-the-art equipment. The staff is always supportive, and the school offers great leisure activities too. ELC is in the heart of Sydney, everything is close by, and you get the opportunity to use your English in a native-speaking environment.

I had a great time at ELC and felt very comfortable at Iglu Chatswood, my accommodation. The staff at ELC was very helpful and assisted me promptly when needed.

The overall experience in Australia has been wonderful and it really helped me growing both personally and linguistically thanks as well to all the people I had the luck to meet during my stay.

Marianna ha studiato Inglese Generale Intensivo (Diurno)

Mi sono divertita molto all’ELC e mi sono sentita molto a mio agio a Iglu Chatswood, il mio alloggio. Lo staff dell’ELC è stato molto disponibile e mi ha assistito prontamente quando ne ho avuto bisogno.

L’esperienza complessiva in Australia è stata meravigliosa e mi ha davvero aiutato a crescere sia a livello personale che linguistico, grazie anche a tutte le persone che ho avuto la fortuna di incontrare durante il mio soggiorno.

I’m happy to go to school. I enjoyed learning English with foreign students. It is important to touch different cultures. It is very important to learn difficult English. Activities are so fun, so I enjoyed learning with my friends in my class! I enjoyed learning such as English quiz. Also, playing with my new friends, It is so fun!

I also enjoyed the Global Citizen class. Teacher is so kind. Every students are kind. So, I am able to enjoy learning. Activities are so fun! My host family is so kind, I was able to enjoy staying there. It is so different to spend time with foreign people.

The food is so delicious as well! With activities, escape room is so difficult with me because I’m not good at solving questions. But my member helps me to solve the question.

Firstly, I want to thank ELC for 8 weeks. Thank you every teacher, everyone you’re teaching me many lessons, and I think my English has improved a lot. Hope I can come back here many more times next year. ELC is an English center that for me the best ever. The teachers are very kind, friendly, and sociable with students. Then again, I would like to thank ELC and the teachers. During my time here, I enjoyed everything. I enjoyed the Global Citizenship class and I don’t have any comments or suggestions because I found it to be so great. There is no activity that I don’t enjoy, thanks to ELC, I can explore almost all of Sydney.

The classes here at ELC are going very well, I’ve made a lot of progress thanks to the teachers who are very pedagogical. The students in my class are a good representation of my level of English, and I’m meeting new people. I’ve been able to do several activities with the school, such as going to the aquarium or walking around Sydney’s north. I’m glad I chose ELC at the start of my working holiday visa so I could improve my level quickly.

I felt really excited! I was very happy to meet various friends and study English. I think ELC is a very nice and fantastic place. I don’t want to go back to Japan. I think Madi is really good teacher. I will never forget everyone here! I enjoyed “wordle” the most. It was a fantastic game. It was really excited for me to enjoy all classes. I was very impressed with the way Madi explained the grammar in a very clear and understandable way.

At ELC, the cultural diversity in the classes and at school means that you can learn more about the world (food, what you can and can’t do…). The free and paid activities allow you to discover Sydney, its surroundings and how Australians live. The teachers and students come from different backgrounds, which means you can work on your pronunciation and listening skills. The teachers are super nice, cool and very professional. What’s more, the activity offered once a week in a bar allows students to meet new people and work on the English they learn in class.
Thank you to ELC for this great experience, you are the best!

In General English class, I truly feel the teachers are highly skilled professionals, each with their own unique teaching style. The lessons are well-balanced, covering grammar and vocabulary in depth while also using games to reinforce what we’ve learned. They also provide valuable extra information, like tips for life in Australia and additional resources for further study.

Making connections with classmates has been a great way to learn both the language and culture, and the excursions were especially effective for this. My teacher’s private lessons have greatly improved my speaking skills and motivation. She adjusts the syllabus and homework based on my progress and preferences, making this the most impactful class I’ve experienced.

The ELC is amazing! The teachers are very nice and create a good atmosphere in class. We learn a lot and it’s personalized for our level. In addition, the school is very well placed and there are plenty of great activities organized! There is even a travel desk that helps us entirely to organize trips. I recommend ELC school to learn English as well as for an excellent experience.

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.

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.

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

Studying the English language abroad was one of my personal goals and came to Sydney AU, and choosing ELC was the best option. In these six months, ELC was my second home, everything was amazing from the beginning to the end, the staff was friendly, and the teachers were really nice and very professional, I liked the methodology and the environment.

I had the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds which was fascinating.

Currently, the trip is extraordinary, as it allows me to progress in English for sure. I’ve also been able to discover cultures that I didn’t know, plus this trip allowed me to visit lots of places in Sydney or the surrounding areas. for sure one of the best experiences of my life if not the best!

I would like to share my observations about the school itself, courses, and teachers’ approach.

My experience is based on a period of around two years. During this time, I actively participated in four different courses:
General English, EAP preparation for the IELTS exam (morning and evening), and Cambridge B1.

The place itself: The space in which a person learns is important, so I will start with that. The location is strategically perfect right in the city center. Inside the school there is a space that is favorable for learning, resting and eating.

The teachers are competent and have a very positive attitude and respect for students. It is important to emphasize professionalism in being both in a close relationship and with a professional distance. However, what personally delight is their creativity and flexibility. This is expressed in empathetic observation of the group and sometimes adaptation to reality.

Variety of courses: When it comes to learning the language thoroughly, the most valuable thing for me was the Cambridge preparation.
General English is easier, the light version. English Academic and IELTS preparation is a different type that takes a matter of fact approach to the topic.

I would end by appreciating your friendly approach at the reception desk, in the office and during lessons, it does not stress students and leaves them with freedom that is valuable. At school, we feel that you are there for us!

In conclusion, I can assure you that I will recommend your school to other potential clients.

I spent about 4 weeks in ELC. There were many wonderful and nice teachers and students. Because of them, I could adapt to the school! Also there are a lot of activities. I attended activities and it gave me chances to improve my english. So I feel that my english skills are getting better than before. It makes me fun and have confidence. I’m so glad to become a member of ELC’s student.

I spent 3 months at ELC, and it was 3 months with great meetings. ELC allowed me to meet people from all over the world and create real friendships. Concerning the classes, the teachers were always engaged and offered varied lessons. The school also organized lots of activities, both paid and free, like museum visits, and outings to Surf Camp, and Port Douglas. I’ll always remember my time at ELC fondly, with all the wonderful people I met and the fun we had.

I remembered my first time at the Kent street, I went with other students of my class and I met a lot of other students of the school, it was a very good time.

I also went to conversation class many times and it was a great occasion to meet other students and improve our speaking skills, the topic changed every time and it was very useful to learn new vocabulary.

I’ve been studying at ELC for about 6 months. During the course period, I’ve studied intensive English, which is quite helpful for learning many English skills. All my teachers are fantastic; they have passion about teaching English. The school not only supports us in our education but also helps us get oriented in the city. There are many excursions on Fridays and Saturdays that school arranges it. I’m quite happy and satisfied to study at ELC which has quality education. I’d like to thank all my teachers and staff in the school.

Hi my name is Carlo Casari, I’m an Italian student currently in Sydney to improve my English at ELC. Since the first day that I arrived I have felt very welcome thanks to the amazing and incredible teachers and staff at the school. They’ve helped me a lot especially during the first few weeks when the adjustment for international students can be a bit challenging due to cultural shock. Furthermore, their help didn’t finish there because they provided help and care each day, asking about how I felt and how my days were going. Since I’ve been there, I can definitely say that this is the best experience of my life! I’ve met hundreds of students from all around the world and I have had several unique experiences with them for which I’m truly grateful! A particular thanks goes to Alexandra, my angel, that always has believed in me and has provided me the best student service! Xoxo

“…Grazie alla guida e assistenza dei professori e dello staff ELC mi sono sentito come a casa fin dal primo giorno. Mi hanno aiutato molto, in particolare durante le prime settimane quando si hanno più difficolta nell’adattarsi alla nuova vita in Australia. Inoltre, mi hanno seguito passo a passo ogni giorno assicurandosi che stessi bene e che la mia esperienza stesse andando al meglio. Senza ombra di dubbio, posso confermare che è l’esperienza più bella della mia vita fino ad ora!…”

I spent five months at ELC, and from the first day, I felt really welcome. The staff and teachers are genuinely friendly and try to help you as much as possible. It was also very easy to find new friends, as everyone is in the same situation and, therefore, really welcoming to new people. The English course is designed in various ways so that it doesn’t get boring over time. With the afternoon class, you can choose something fitting for you to improve your English even more. The travel agent at the school makes planning trips really easy, as they provide a wide range of activities and trips.

The whole experience represented for me an extraordinary opportunity to study English while making friends who, like me, decided to embark on this journey. The school environment is fun, young, and inclusive. The course helped me achieving a great level of confidence with the language and the way it is designed helped me a lot – on top of the lessons, you have the possibility to join a wide range of activities which helped me a lot both in improving my English and connecting with other students. Teachers are qualified and they all consider students’ needs ensuring their lessons to be dynamic and fun. In a nutshell, an incredible experience which I strongly recommend to all travel lovers willing to improve their English.

È stato per me un percorso meraviglioso che mi ha permesso di studiare l’inglese e stringere molti legami con ragazzi\e che, come me, hanno voluto intraprendere quest’esperienza. L’ambiente è allegro, giovane ed inclusivo. Ha rafforzato la mia sicurezza nell’approccio all’inglese. La scuola è organizzata molto bene, offre molte attività extra che consentono di integrarsi al meglio! Gli insegnanti tengono conto delle esigenze di ogni singolo studente, rendendo le lezioni efficienti e dinamiche. Un’esperienza straordinaria che consiglio a tutti coloro che amano viaggiare e vogliono migliorare il proprio inglese!

ELC in Sydney is fantastic!

The timetables are super organized, and the staff is super friendly and always ready to help. My teacher is really professional. He makes sure we’re all ready for exams. The atmosphere is great, and learning is a breeze. ELC is the place to be for English education in Sydney!

L’atmosfera è fantastica e imparare è un gioco da ragazzi. L’ELC è il posto giusto per imparare l’inglese a Sydney!

I wanted to express my appreciation for the exceptional experience I had with the teachers and staff at ELC. Without a doubt, All the teachers and staff were kind and passionate! Especially my teacher, Jamie; he’s such a nice guy.

I had a great time on ELC with a good vibes, nice other students and lovley teachers.

The students team is truly caring, they make every student feel good in the school and in this big city!
The activities offered by the school are really good, it allows you to easily integrate with a group, visit a neighborhood of Sydney or a place further away from Sydney!
Sydney is an amazing city, there is a lot to see, you can’t get bored!!

This is an experience I highly recommend to everyone !

My experience at the ELC was amazing. I really enjoyed every single moment. The school gave me the possibility to know a lot of people and improve a lot my English. Teachers are prepared and all the staff is friendly and helpful.

I really like ELC. The classes are great, we have a lot of conversation and grammar… When I first arrived in Sydney, I could not speak English at all. I have learnt a lot in the last 5 months and I am really happy that I have been able to meet many people from different countries and become friend with my classmates.
I would say that my favourite thing about ELC are the social activities.
I would recommend the school to other people because I like the environment, the teachers and the staff in general.

I’m really happy to study at ELC. The people here are really nice and all the teachers are really caring about my understanding when I was in class. It’s really nice to be in class and study with all amazing people from around the world. Really inspiring. The course was awesome. Great staff, great teachers. The teachers were really great – very attentive and caring. The lessons were really good too. ELC is also in the middle of the city, which makes everything much easier.

Thanks for everything to all of you! Your country is amazing! And you as a school are fantastic!

My experience at school and in your country has been extraordinary! I’m very happy and very grateful.

Study methodology, teachers and classmates make studying easier and more entertaining.

Of course, I would recommend ELC. I would also recommend this city. I loved Sydney! It’s wonderful and its people too!

ELC is all very well organised. From the day of the welcome until the end, I knew what I had to do and when I had doubts, kindly someone from ELC solved it for me.

In addition, teachers are very good at teaching. Each of them with their own identity but all very good. All very well prepared to receive people from different countries, cultures and ages.

The school has good spaces and distribution of them. Very good and various extra classes, especially group outings to get to know the city. The schedules and breaks are very suitable too.

The school is very well located in Sydney!

Thank you very much to the staff who welcomed us on the first day and gave us the necessary information. Thank you to all my teachers who each have their personal characteristics but are all very good. And thank you to the receptionist who is always friendly and answering all my questions.

I will continue travelling and practising English. And I’m sure I will come back to this city with my family.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Coming to Sydney for some weeks, I wanted to refresh my English language skills and found ELC by chance. I couldn’t have done a better choice!
From the first day, I felt happy although I’m older than all of my classmates. I was supported by my teachers who seemed to be aware of my special situation and helped me to integrate.
There is a special spirit in this school.
The teachers, managers and staff are all very dedicated and always make the best for the students. Special thanks to my teacher who was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had!

Thanks to the Junior Program I met amazing people – students and teachers.

It was so good to learn about the different lifestyles of each country. It feels like I traveled to Italy, Japan, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Colombia, Brazil and others because we shared a lot.

Here I improved my English a lot and I’m proud because now when I make grammar faults I know, and I can correct myself.

Thank you to the ELC teachers and staff for making me feel like home, you were so great.

I wish I could tell you about my favourite activity but I can’t because all of them were magic.

I really loved learning about Aussie slang. I’m very glad to be here from the beginning of the program.

I would like to stay here but I know I need to go home. But Australia get ready – because I will come back!

Thank you ELC!

I’m very happy to have studied at ELC! In this school everything is perfect.

I have made many friends and many of these I hope to keep the friendship for a long time. I was surprised how much passion every teacher puts into their work. I studied for just a short time but I’m sure I will miss this school very much.

In just a short time I improved my English a lot because the course is very intensive. The classes were also very easy to understand. The teachers are all wonderful!

Thank you, ELC!

The institute has great teachers, a well-structured methodology for teaching, and the assessments are very useful for students’ improvement in the use of the English language! I also like the progress test, which highly contribute to measuring our development.

I love the people who I met, students who I studied with and all the teachers and staff. I have already recommended ELC to my friends who ask my opinion about the institute. I consider it very organised from the beginning of the enrolment process.

The opportunity to study Academic English and the extra classes are a plus for the learning process. Also the pathway that you have with TAFE is great!

I enjoyed ELC very much. You learn English in a good way with a lot of help from the teachers.

Our classes are small, so the teacher can give you a lot of attention. All categories of English learning are mixed very well. ELC and my teacher helped me to be confident with myself in speaking English.

It’s a great place to learn at your own level. Everybody is there to help you always, even when you have a problem. It’s a great place to learn English. Definitely I would recommend ELC to new students!

Even now I am travelling I know that I learned so much with all the lessons from my teacher!

ELC is a really good school. It’s a good place for international students to exchange their cultures.

The Cambridge FCE course is amazing. Especially the teacher, Camilla, she is very strict with us, so that makes everyone very focused in class. I think the Cambridge course is one of the best here because you can learn everything from it: Grammar, writing, listening, speaking – it’s more intensive and better than other courses. I like that Camilla writes down new vocabulary, the definition and gives examples on how to use the word, so it’s easy to understand and to copy the information from the board.

I really like the social events at ELC. I went to last year’s Christmas party, and it was a really good opportunity to meet students from other classes and meet new people from other countries.

Before coming to ELC, I tried the Cambridge and General English course in other schools, but they had too many students and the atmosphere was too intense. It was just the teacher talking and students were not interacting or asking questions. I didn’t like that.

I would definitely recommend ELC to others. Especially the Cambridge course. We practice writing every week and the teachers are very responsible in marking our writing so we can improve a lot.

I am going to study CAE Cambridge course next month and I am very excited about it!

ELC是个特别好的学校。这里的设备俱全，是个国际留学生互相交流不同文化的好地方。

我就读的是晚间班。FCE剑桥课程（FCE Cambridge Exam Preparation）特别棒，特别是我们的老师，Camila，她上课特别认真、严格，让大家都很专心的上课。我认为剑桥课程是这里最好的课程，因为你可以从中学到全面的知识：语法、写作、听力、口语。这比其他课程更集中。Camila会把新的词在白板上写下来，再加以解释和造句，她这种教法特别容易懂，我们也方便抄笔记。

我特别喜欢ELC的社交活动。我参加了去年的圣诞派对，在那里认识了很多其他班级的学生，是个很好的文化交流的机会。

我之前去过Greenwich试听过他们的剑桥课和General English课。但是一个班里人太多了，而且氛围很僵硬，只有老师在讲课，没有学生之间的互动。

我推荐ELC，特别是这里的剑桥课程。我们每周都有练习写作。老师会及时的改好作业，所以我们写作方面进步很快。我特别期待我接下来的CAE剑桥课程！

Everyone working at ELC is friendly and kind. The teachers are patient, understanding and caring…ELC is now my second home.

My private Business class was great. The teacher was very passionate and kind. He was strict but in a good way that helped me to learn. He corrected every mistake in grammar or pronunciation. His lessons were enlightening because he based it on his own experience as a manager.

I liked the General English class, mostly because the teacher, Jennifer, was very cheerful, nice, and passionate about teaching. She could answer all of my questions and I learned many things. We had a lot of discussion in class which helped me improve.

I feel like I have improved my English a lot because of all the teachers here.

I like ELC because I can play interesting games, learn the different animal words and I can also make a PowerPoint to share with classmates.

The most enjoyable part of the program is learning how to use the computer and make a PowerPoint to describe our country. Then we shared the PowerPoint to classmates.

I think the Global Citizen class is so interesting and I like it very much because sometimes we play the funniest games, like “Hot seat”.

我喜欢ELC因为老师会通过玩游戏教你不同的词汇。这个课程最有趣的地方是学会怎么用电脑制作PowerPoint演示文稿来介绍我们自己的国家。然后可以上课的时候给大家介绍。

我觉得“国际文化课”特别有趣，也是我最喜欢的课程。

I was very happy here. Thank you for this wonderful time that I spent here. And thank you Lauren – her lessons were very interesting.

I really enjoyed the games. The selection of games was very cool.

The Global Citizen class was interesting. We watched videos and I liked it.

I liked all the activities. I really enjoyed Luna Park and laser tag.

Thank you for everything!

This is my first time to come to Australia. I was very nervous, because I didn’t speak English very much and I was afraid that I can’t understand the class. But I got used to it in the second week at school. It’s a very warm environment. The school, the teacher is also very kind and the students are very generous. I hope to come to Australia and come to ELC again.

You can make friends from many different countries. You can also learn a lot of English conversation and do extracurricular activities every day. It was very fun!

这是我第一次来澳洲。我的英文不是很好，所以我很紧张，很害怕会听不懂上课内容。但是来后第二周我就完全习惯了！ELC的环境非常温馨；学校工作人员、老师和同学都非常好相处。我希望以后还能够回来澳洲和ELC！

在ELC你可以认识来自不同国家的朋友，也可以一直用英文沟通练习口语。每天都有有趣的课外活动：是个非常开心的体验！

I really like ELC! ELC helped me to improve my speaking and grammar. Thank you very much! The most interesting part was the Global Citizen class, it was great! It was a really fun time – thank you ELC!

The English class was much better than every English class I had in my life!

I learned a lot. The class was very interesting – also the Global Citizen class. The best part was getting to know new people.

Everything was great. The teacher, Lauren, was very nice. I met people from other countries.
I have made some progress so I’m really happy. Now we can have a conversation with people after studying 2 weeks!
The class was very nice and very interesting because we learn English while playing games, watching movies, listening to music, and by doing grammar lessons.
Every activity was fun. The program is good so do not change anything.

I completed 20 weeks of General English at ELC and recommend it to everyone!

I started studying at the Intermediate level and finished in Upper Intermediate. I enjoyed most of my classes. I had the opportunity to live with five Australian teachers and an American teacher who gave me full support in answering my questions and helping with questions outside of class as well.

I studied in the night period and it did not stop me from improving my level of English. I also recommend the structure of the school – complete dining room, rest area, and computer room, all available as long as you need.

Thank you for you all!! I’ll miss ELC team, and I loved the time I spent with you!

The lessons were extremely fun. We learned so much about different nationalities. Most students were alone in Australia, but that is no problem because your family there is ELC!

ELC is very different to the German schools. That’s perfect… In my country I was very happy at the weekend. No school…Yeeey! In Australia, I really missed the school, the teacher and the other students at the weekend.

I enjoyed every second and had the best time of my life! Just perfect! Thank you ELC!

I am very happy I can be a part of English Language Company. It’s an amazing place where I can meet so many students from different countries all around the world. In my class I’m the only Indonesian so I can practice and improve my English more and more because I didn’t have a chance to speak my language. The students are very friendly and easy going. Also the teachers are very kind and patient in giving lesson materials. ELC is the best choice for learning and improving your English.

I’m from South America and it’s the first time that I travel overseas and I’m so glad that I choose this country. I had the opportunity to meet people from all around the world and it’s really good, it opens your mind to learn about different cultures, different ways of living and thinking. You can even reconsider some of your thoughts and see different perspectives of life and it’s really interesting.

The school is an amazing place where you are not only learning English but you are making friends from all around the world! The location is really good because you are in front of a train station and only 30 minutes far from the beach, which is amazing! I strongly recommend this school!

I had a really good experience at ELC! I stayed here for around 4 months and I made really good friends and met good teachers.

Classes

I started in the pre-intermediate class so I couldn’t speak English very well. We ask a lot of questions and translation. There is a lot of support, so it’s really good. There were really good extra classes – very fun!

When I studied hospitality for one month the teacher spoke slowly so we could understand and we could ask lots of questions. She explained very well and we could understand.

Hospitality internship

When I was working in my internship there were a lot of Aussies and people from other countries so we could improve our skills and our English. When I worked in a hotel, I could understand most and I could explain to other people in the job because I knew what to do. I made a lot of friends on the job and it was a really amazing experience to talk in English with other people at work.

SWAP class

In the work class, we learned how to make a resume – that was a really good class. Now I know how to make a very good resume easily. Also, there was a career fair, and university teachers came to ELC to talk to us and that was really good experience. We can check different universities and majors – it was good for us.

Activities

The activity calendar is very nice. The wildlife show was a very good experience. Animals came to school and it was really fun.

Sydney

I love living in Sydney, it’s a lovely place. Also, it was really good experience to go to the countryside.

Thank you ELC! 24 weeks was more than enough to achieve my goal. I’m grateful to you. Thanks to my teachers, Camilla and Steph, who made this possible. I’ll be here again someday to say hello. Thank you so much, you have been doing a really good job! As an English school, ELC is perfect. They really focus on what you need and make everything possible.

At ELC, I experienced far more than I could have ever imagined. I have studied at ELC for more than one year, my English has improved a lot since I arrived. When I came here, I couldn’t speak English at all, so I started at a pre-intermediate level. I still remember my first day at ELC, I was super shy and I was shaking because I couldn’t understand what the teacher and classmates were saying.

The General English course was very relaxed and enjoyable, which led me to get used to my class quickly. After a few months, I studied in Cambridge exam preparation courses, PET, FCE and CAE. The courses enabled me to develop all English skills, reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar with very competent teachers. More importantly, all my classmates had the same goals, which provided us with a high level of motivation and close relationships with classmates and the teachers.

Thanks to the amazing courses, I accomplished to pass the exams, PET, FCE and CAE, at which point I decided to study at university in Sydney. To prepare for my further studies, I’ve studied in Academic English course for 10 weeks. In this course, I learned how to write an academic essay and give a presentation, which are necessary skills to study at an Australian university. Everything I gained in this course was fresh for me because I’ve never learned these skills in Japan.

Thanks to ELC, I’ve got ready for my further studies in Sydney with confidence in my English.

Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Special thanks to Andrea, Adela, Eric, James, Meg, Nigel, Sophie and Terence.

Academic English is a really good course, it’s not just about IELTS you can also prepare for further study. You can learn academic skills such as how to write an essay and do a presentation. Every four weeks we do a real IELTS exam practice. Afterwards, we check our mistakes. We also do some practice exercises each week in class – like the writing part of the exam.

Before I started this course, I was completely lost. I had no idea about the IELTS exam. Without this course, I wouldn’t be able to do it.

I used to write essays at university in Italy and I think the structure is similar but it’s completely different when you are writing in another language. Now I feel much more confident. In the beginning, I wouldn’t be able to do it.

CPE is the best English course I have had in many years. It emphasizes the natural use of English, and it has helped me solve many specific questions I had about complex grammar and lexis.

All the students in my class were very satisfied with the content of the program, as well as with the overall results. We all passed the test with high marks!

I’m going to miss this place so much! The teachers are amazing. All staff her have been so good to me. I’ve improved my English a lot and the Cambridge class (FCE) with Pamela was the best I’ve ever had!

had a great four months here in the school. The teachers I had were amazing; they tried really hard to make the classes fun with activities and interesting documentaries to improve our listening skills. I feel my English has improved considerably in this time. I would definitely recommend ELC to my friends as there are nice teachers and it’s a friendly environment.

I enjoy studying here at ELC. I can make a lot of friends from all around the world. While studying in the General English course, many activities helped me improve my English skills, especially my speaking skills. Also in the IELTS course, I enjoy learning with a professional teacher and having a conversation about serious topics with friends in the class.

ELC is a place where you can make a lot of friends and improve your English skills in a really good environment.

I was really happy with ELC. It’s a really warm and welcoming environment, with thoughtful and polite professionals. The teachers have amazing didacticism and are always ready to help and listen to the students. All this made me feel very comfortable at the school.

ELC is in a great location with lots of facilities around. It’s a great environment with amazing teachers. It was more than just a school. As students we are treated with such respect, it’s amazing! I will miss you all!

I’m really happy to study at ELC. I met many new people and everybody was very nice to me. It felt like my home. The teachers and everybody in reception is great. I love this school! If I have the chance, I will come back and study another course here. At ELC it isn’t just study. This school has a lot of things to do! I love it. Thank you for everything. Everything was perfect for me.

Sydney is a beautiful place. With the school activities, you can see different places and learn about the Australian lifestyle and history of Sydney.

The classes at ELC are fun and I can improve my English. I can talk with friends from other cultures. The class is difficult but good for understanding a different language. The time passes quickly because it is fun.

The English Extra class is also really good. For example, the pronunciation class helps you understand different accents.

My English has improved because now I can understand the teachers and people on the street. In my job I can have a conversation with my manager. I have learned a lot of new words and I think my pronunciation is better. Now people can understand me.

I would recommend ELC to my friends because you can talk to different cultures, make a lot of friends, meet a lot of people and improve your English. You can only speak in English at school which is good practice.

Hospitality student at Chungwoon University, South Korea

When I first came to Australia I couldn’t understand or speak English. I have made a lot of improvement here at ELC and the Academic English course I am currently doing has really helped me improve my formal English and business vocabulary. I have one year left at university and this course will really help me with my university course as it focuses a lot not just on communication skills but also areas like report writing, essay writing and presentations.  I’m really enjoying my course!

Jessica, my teacher, makes our lessons very interesting. She always marks the extra writing work I do and takes the time to give me feedback and extra support, even though I know she is very busy!

There are students from so many different nationalities so I have the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds, which is very interesting to me. I love the school excursions that help enjoy our life here. I really recommend this school to someone coming to Australia to study English!

ELC is the best school in Sydney. I think that I couldn’t have chosen a better school. I’m so happy because I had my best days here. I loved everything here. I made friends for the rest of my life. The Study house was the best place to live here. The method of ELC classes is excellent and very dynamic.

Everything is very good at ELC. I could repeat everything without changing anything.

All my love to ELC – the best school I have ever had.

Seems like I spent all my time of my first year here. The best school I have ever had, a big family with lots of members from several countries, different languages, different nationalities. I love the school. I have been here for 35 weeks, quite a long time but not the longest and it also means I’ve got lots of memories. ELC is my big family in Sydney. Thanks all my teachers who helped me pick up English faster than I could imagine before. The biggest thanks to ELC for giving me the meaning of Australia. Thanks for everything, a very huge thank to all people who belong to ELC.

English Language Company was the best school for me. I could learn from great teachers, and make lovely friends who were from different countries. They always supported and encouraged me. Thanks to them, I spent every day to the fullest at ELC and got a strong motivation to improve my English. It is a long long way to study English, but the more I do, my world is getting bigger. I found it throughout my time at ELC. So I’ll never stop learning.
Not only the school but I also enjoyed a lot of things. There were beautiful places, fantastic events, and warm people. Every day, everything made my wonderful life in Sydney.

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!

I studied at ELC in 2006, and it was a great experience for me. Great people, nice teachers, and interesting lessons – I enjoyed the six months there. I also learned about Aussie culture. I miss those days. I will never forget my classes, the movies, and outdoor activities. If I had the chance to go back in time, I would go to ELC again. I still have friends from Korea, Brazil, Germany, France, Thailand, Japan, and Mexico.

Hello. My name is Akiko Tanaka and I am studying at ELC in Sydney.

I recommend this school to Japanese, because there are few Japanese students in this school. Instead, there are many European students and Brazilian students. At first, most Japanese students will be confused with different cultures. But after 1 month, you will see that you fit in perfectly with your class mates and enjoy studying English at this school so much! This school’s facilities are very good: you can use your computer at student lounges with Wi-Fi. Also, there are many computers at the library and the student lounges. It is FREE!!! The school receptionists and teachers are very friendly and kind.

I have decided to join the Work & Travel program too. After graduating this school, I’ll get some job information from the company. So I’m not worried about job hunting. Finally, I would recommend this school to Japanese. If you want to make friends with people from other countries, you should come to ELC.

Here are some pictures of myself at school and with my classmates, at the Blue Mountains as well as with the kids of my Homestay family! There are always things to do on the weekend!
