I think it's a really expensive academy, I went there for one week and the prices are crazy even I paid more because they offered 1h extra with the computer. I thought someone will be there teaching us, the hour was basically being on your own on a computer. Also I was learning more in the free classes with lovely people that are in training. I asked them a question and as I said £500 was too much for 10h and I couldn't afford it...in a politely way and asked them for other options, they don't reply anymore to me. So even if no one will care, this is my bad review about this establishment If I use this place is because there are not many options in Newcastle or places that you can do official exams an centric, they know it and use it for their benefit.
The CELTA training course for English teachers is very intense with tutors giving extensive feedback on teaching sessions. Also, if you are an English language student, there are free English classes during the CELTA training sessions.
I always felt very comfortable and well looked after. Great mix between school lessons and fun. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their English regardless of level.
100% recommendation. I was impressed with how they handled students well. All staff were professional with superb management.
I’d like to say thank you IH for the great time I had with you I enjoyed my time, I met good people, I made friends and another family, but I have to put my feelings aside to give an honest evaluation. I can say that IH is good at several things: 1- They have great teachers 2- They have a good environment, not the best but one of them 3- They have excellent preparation for the Exams like IELTS… etc 4- It’s a good place to start your English journey as a beginner because of the environment and the teachers But on the other hand, there are several things that I found it bad: 1- Going to the next level is depending on the availability of chairs at that level even if you are ready to move. 2- you may be placed at a level that is not yours 3- The cover teacher is one of the worst things not because the teachers may not be well trained but because they don’t know the student's level so they will take time to go into the rhythm. 4- The PSP room is almost old and needs to be updated 5- They don’t have a curriculum they give some copies of pepper 6- They used to give me a progress sheet for the first 3 weeks but no more after these weeks I’m on the fence about the host families and the timetable however, I had one of the best times in my whole life there, and one of the good things was the reception at IH was so friendly they treat you like a friend not a student even some of the teachers. Thank you IH
