EF Education First - Studium v zahraničí

I was in Toronto with EF and all I can write is that it was the best decision of my life. I improved my level in English, made friends from all over the world for life, I was on a trip to Chicago or at a boat party with a view of the city at sunset, I'm not even talking about the Niagara anymore .. It was just fulfilled dream. If you are thinking about whether or not to go, definitely go ahead and you will not regret it! The schedule is set so that you manage to study and at the same time travel and get to know the culture of the country. At school, everyone is willing and will help you with everything, even advise you on where to get the best food. Communication with EF was also great, they helped me with everything, they also arranged a transfer from the airport to the host family - when I arrived in Canada, I didn't have to wait anywhere, I got on the driver right away and didn't have to deal with anything. I have a lifelong experience and I'm already looking forward to the next course. <3

EF Boston As for the school and the staff, I was thrilled. They were all very nice, friendly and I communicated very well with them. Mark, the principal, had a huge overview of everyone and everyone at school, incomprehensible to me: D Otherwise, he's a very nice guy. EF organizes great trips, in favorable pandemic situations they go to Niagara Falls, New York, etc .., I myself was on a trip to Portland Main. Recently, I've just noticed that these trips have resumed, jupííí, so you're sure to choose. They go to amusement parks, they go to the cinema, I was there, for baseball and in winter for hockey (the duty of Czechs to go see Pastrňák: D). Cheap tickets to concerts by well-known bands can be found in Boston and probably in America in general. One of my best and strongest experiences was the Guns N 'Roses concert I got. For me, as their big fan, it was a very powerful experience that I can't slowly describe in words. With EF, you never know what will happen to you. (of course only in the positive sense) I would evaluate my stay very positively. I took a lot of experiences, especially friends. The EF team in the Czech Republic was very nice, welcoming and friendly. Whenever I had a question or problem, we solved it quickly and without any problems. Thank you so much for the opportunity to fulfill your dreams. <3

I would like to express my experience with this agency here (and it is not positive). The only positive that month in Germany were the friends I found here. Unfortunately, this is not entirely thanks to EF. And most, including me, wouldn't go out with them again. Frequent complaints about accommodation, my experience is terrible. I commuted to school with my roommate for almost 1.5 hours, I slept on a lounger that did not even have a proper mattress, and only after urging the school on my part, my partymates exchanged our family after two weeks. Supposedly from some "crisis" on the part of the host family, so not even due to housing conditions and our countless complaints. We were amused to be told that no one had complained about this family yet. Sure. Rather, it doesn't solve it. The food could not be eaten either, and the fridge was almost empty forever, with only leftovers from the previous day. The American boy's experience was such that he had to pay extra for some things in the family. Another said that there is a terrible mess in the family house, etc. The quality of teaching is also not much. There were over 20 of us in the classroom for a while and you won't learn anything. Elective courses have already been assigned to us, so it was not even possible to choose them - 3 hours of drawing a map of Germany would not really add to my language level and there were almost no activities. I found out that he would not return the credits to me either, which no one told me such information before they were bought. Just disappointment for the money. I would expect at least some compensation.

At the beginning of the gym, I started looking after a language course, because my languages ​​never worked. I wanted to learn English and make friends from other countries. I am in contact with some until now, we are visiting, we are calling. When you start learning your friend's native language, they immediately build a better friendship together, making a win-win situation. You will learn one language and you can immediately add another and at the same time you will experience a lot of beautiful moments. You will have experiences, friends and language skills. Absolutely amazing, don't you think? I traveled with EF to Malta for 4 weeks. I chose accommodation in a host family. I was lucky, I sat down with my "hostmum" and I keep in touch with her until now A big plus at EF schools are daily activities and trips. There were various events in Malta. On the first day, I found a lot of friends from different countries. For example, a friend from Germany will come to see me in a few days. Teaching in Malta took place in a fun way, we discussed a lot and created various interesting projects. I'm very happy that I decided to travel and I created memories for a lifetime! It was definitely not my last course, I can only recommend Education First

So I add my review, which I would like to objectively evaluate my journey with EF. I went through a few other reviews, which often alternate between bad and good reviews. Overall, I would rate the company positively. I learned about the agency through my sister, who traveled to England with EF. Despite some complications, she was satisfied with her stay, so we did not change the company. The communication was fast and warm. It later worsened (I waited a while for an answer), but I was informed of the reason (a large number of people interested in the course, which is increasing rapidly in the summer). For the first 2 days I was in Malta one big bundle of nerves. There were several misunderstandings with family and teaching. My family did not wait for me until Sunday, but the school responded immediately and resolved everything. (it is possible that the family misunderstood the school). The family was nice, but for me next time the campus / residence (the residence is in Malta since 18), but everything depends on the agreement. I had several friends my age (17 years old) who were in residence. Everything was a little confusing because of the pandemic. People came from all over the world, and everyone knew different rules that changed every hour. That's why I didn't count on online teaching. Everything was explained to me, it was a pre-infection measure between classes ("spin" classes are the same across classes). I had main classes online and optional online. My "class" teacher, Mathew Azzopardi, was amazing. He helped me a lot, not only with AJ. Partly thanks to him, I did not give up teaching in C1.3. :) During the intensive course, I had a lot of time on trips with friends. We drove through Malta from north to south with and without EF. Overall, I would recommend EF. It gave me a lot of experience, friends and better English. The first 2 days of stress and "disappointment" became the most beautiful month of 2021. I would return there right away. At the moment, I have joined a program of ambassadors, with whom I would like to bring EF closer to others and at the same time help them make their experience even better than mine (and mine was amazing). I hope to travel with EF someday and be able to help improve the opinions of others.

In the summer of 2021, I took part in a language stay in New York with Education First. This experience completely changed my life and worldview. It kicked me above all to pursue my goals and dreams and never give up. I met a lot of people from all over the world, discovered new places, tasted local cuisine and experienced a cool American atmosphere. Progress, especially in speaking English, is unbelievable. And best of all, you have an unforgettable experience that will put a smile on your face every time you are not in a positive mood. So if you're hesitant to travel somewhere with Education First, you don't have to - a language course is a one-way ticket to happiness and satisfaction. XOXO, N.
