The eC experience
With our first-class language courses, experienced teachers, fun-packed social programmes and beautiful schools in the best English-speaking destinations around the world, we work hard to ensure that the EC experience is the experience of a lifetime. But dont just take our word for it

I looked for English language schools online and saw the testimonials of former students from EC New York. It was also recommended by my agent in Denmark. I wanted to go to a great school and EC seemed like the place. The course has been really beneficial and we get a lot of one-on-one attention. I have enjoyed my teachers and they have been really inspiring. I really enjoy this school because its in a great location in the heart of the city. Its clean and new and the people who work in the school are very kind and helpful. There are also some excellent teachers who I have learned a great deal from. I would like to come back someday to EC. I have enjoyed my time here very much. Sren Brunsgaard Husted Denmark

EC is a super place for learning English and for making new friends. The EC team is always friendly and ready to help you and the teachers are the best. They try their best to make our lessons more interesting and comfortable. Anastasia Pavolova Russia

I love EC San Diego. I have been here for a while now and I know my way around pretty well. I like that I can learn different things from each teacher. The schools location is just perfect I can go to the beach whenever I want and can look at the ocean from my classroom. Sungeon Kim Korea

I recommend EC Malta because when you are at EC it is never boring. The teachers love their job and therefore the lessons arent boring but funny! After school there are so many activities to choose from. Im staying with a host family. My host speaks English with me all the time and helps me with my pronunciation. Everywhere you go, you can meet people from different countries. Michaela Frech Germany

I enjoy the student life at EC Cambridge. Its a cosmopolitan city and people are easy to get on with. The school and the city make me feel comfortable, thats why I chose EC Cambridge when I came to England to improve my English. The experienced staff and the facilities are superb. Kwan Tak Tam China

My cousin recommended EC Boston because he studied here. The teachers are excellent and so is the office staff. They are so friendly and professional. The students make a great environment to study and learn English. I recommend Scoozi and Stephanies restaurant in Newbury Street. And Rumor, Venue and Suite are good nightclubs. You have to go to Fenway Park to watch a baseball game. You should go to Quincy Market, Boston Common and Harvard University. Diana Mattos Brazil

EC London is a warm and friendly place. In my free time I like to visit museums, parks, cinemas, theatres. I would recommend EC because of the great atmosphere. Here, I can meet people from around the world. The school also has a good schedule for having fun outside of the school classes. The staff here are kind and helpful too. Afsoon Alishahi Iran

I chose to study in Brighton because of some suggestions from a friend of mine about the weather, people, lifestyle and sea. I love the sea that is why I am here. I chose an EC English School because I had heard that the school takes care of the mix of people in each classroom and it is true. Ive met people from Korea, Turkey, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy and more places. What I enjoyed most about studying at EC Brighton were the people. All the staff are fantastic. Maria del Mar Agudelo Colombia

EC is the best English school in San Francisco. Its small, very friendly, good accommodations and nice staff and I enjoyed activities. I improved my English and like hanging out with the other students. For future EC students I recommend - always do your homework! Igor Yuzvinskiy Ukraine

This is the best experience that Ive ever had in my life. EC Bristol is amazing! Simona Pipitone Italy

I have been to two other schools in Cape Town, you cant compare it and some of my friends there are jealous! When I arrived at EC I couldnt speak English at all and could barely understand what I was told. Since I have been here, I feel almost English. I feel that there are lots of learning opportunities for learning English in South Africa, because there arent many Koreans. At the moment, the Koreans are very good - they speak to each other in English! The variety of international students I found at the school was much more than I expected. All in all, EC is the best language school in Cape Town. Jee Jung Hwan Korea

I like the friendly atmosphere at EC, and the classes are small so you can really profit from them. The school is well-designed and when you have a request or a problem the staff help you very quickly. I speak better English now because of my time at EC and the lessons have a variety of activities, which makes them more interesting. Fabian Messer switzerland Fabian studied at EC San Francisco
