The nicest teachers I have ever met. I came from Germany and attended classes for a week — I wish it had been longer. I got to learn so much about Irish culture and history.

Although I participated in an exchange program that lasted only one month, I had an amazing experience at the ELI school during my vacation. I took classes with two excellent teachers (Gracie and Osiris).

Excellent choice, I was completely satisfied with the school, the teachers and all the staff, especially Marcelo at reception who always welcomed us with extreme availability and kindness, and my teachers Hatvi and Brian who were fantastic.

I spent three months at the school and felt supported by their excellent team the whole time. Thanks to the activities they organise I improved my English, adapted quickly, and made great friends.

I’ve been here for two weeks and they’ve been the two best weeks of the year. On top of that, I’ve had such a great time with Marcelo, and the excursions and classes are really fun. It’s a great experience.

It’s an excellent school, even though we were only there for a week because it was a school trip to Ireland. The staff were all wonderful; they were all very friendly, polite, and always willing to help.

Two fantastic weeks at ELI Dame Street. Thanks to the tests before the course I was placed in a class that was a perfect fit, and I could learn without pressure while still being challenged.
