I stayed two months here in Cambridge, it’s really good and I feel like is the first time I am learning. It’s a good experience, and my English has become better but I can still improve. Felipe Lundgren (Brasil) When I was first time I didn’t know any English. Now I speak better than when I arrived and also my writing has improved. Thank you for everything. Really it was great time. I have been here six months and I think everything is good for me. Again, thank you for everything.

Julie started at EC Cambridge in September last year at Elementary level. She is now studying in the Cambridge IELTS class at intermediate level. Here she tells us a little about her experience at EC. I had pass the course to learn English in EC Cambridge. The staff from reception to the teachers is very helpful, friendly and funny. Many friends of mine ask me questions about this course and I advise them to come to EC.

Morad has been studying at EC Cambridge for 9 months and has completed his Cambridge IELTS course. He started his time in EC back in May 2014 and his initial level was pre-intermediate. Now he is at advance level which is a fantastic improvement. We asked him to sum up his stay at EC Cambridge with one sentence. He actually said two but we didn’t mind. I like the school because of many things the teachers especially their skills to help me improve my speaking and writing. All of the staff at EC have been very helpful and my English has improved a lot. I would recommend EC Cambridge to anyone who wants to study English. I was worried, being a little older, 30, that I might not be able to fit in but the age range is very good. I have learnt a lot about English Culture.

Yesterday some of our students took a break from their CPE Cambridge English Exam preparation course to go for a Traditional English Afternoon Tea as part of our free activity programme at EC Cambridge. The students went to Aunties Tea Shop ion Cambridge and had scones with jam, clotted cream and English tea. The English Tea is a tradition dating back centuries and in fact was eaten as long ago as the 11th Century. It is thought to have originated in Cornwall in the South West of England although people from Devon argue it was their invention. You can check out next months free activities on Facebook.

Jeremy tells us about his General English Course at EC Cambridge. I stayed in Cambridge for three months. I found EC Cambridge by looking on the internet for a linguistic training course. I chose it because it had the best value for money, but in fact the quality is better than I expected! The professors and the staff are always tuned in, the courses are very educational. The school is very modern. Cambridge is a beautiful student city, there are lots of activities to be made, that is the visits of the various touristic places, or for more amusement bars, bowling, cinemas and night clubs. I chose to live in a residence that allows to make new meeting with coming people various countries, it is very enriching. I advise to all the people to travel to EC.
