What they say

How real learners have found their experience.

Viktoriia Mikhyeyeva

LEARNER

I was lucky to get to your Road Code course. Migrants need a driver's license so much, but the language barrier prevents them. Thanks to you, anyone can get a driver's license easily.

Polina Belenitskaia

LEARNER

If I hadn't taken your Road Code courses, I wouldn't have gotten my driver's license for another million years. After your lessons, it turned out to be very simple, in 10 minutes I got my first driver's license in my life!

It made me want to learn more so I can teach my kids English. I share my homework with them too.

Learning English at English Language Partners makes me more confident and more positive.

LEARNER

Now I have local topics I can talk with others, and I like reading the local news. I feel like I am part of it.

LEARNER

Before I can't speak English, and now I can speak a little bit, because my teacher is a very nice teacher and she understands me for everything.
