Student reviews: studying in the United Kingdom (A-Work students)

• Bayswater-London

• “The teachers are also very responsible, passionate, and high-level, quickly identifying students' strengths and weaknesses to provide tailored practice. The curriculum is also practical, allowing you to experience many different styles of classes in a short period.”

• “At school, I appreciate learning British expressions that were hard to encounter in Korea and expressions useful for everyday life, as well as the very academic classroom atmosphere. In particular, even Korean students in our class speak English with each other, and the teachers always make an effort to correct our speaking mistakes. The proportion of Korean students is very low, and thanks to the diverse nationality mix, there are plenty of opportunities to practice speaking.”

• “The teachers are very responsible, passionate, and highly qualified; they quickly identify students' strengths and weaknesses and give practice tailored to them. The curriculum is realistic, allowing you to experience many different class styles in a short period. In the morning classes, two teachers come in, which helps keep you focused and engaged, and it is great to be exposed to different teaching styles and accents.”

• Kings-London

• “I think Kings school is a really great school. First of all, the teachers and students are very kind and friendly, and secondly, you can make friends from many different nationalities. I still keep in touch with friends who left via email or other media. And lastly, the garden is so pretty.”

• “Above all, the teachers are kind and passionate. They always strive to help students understand and ensure they can study in a comfortable environment. Unlike lecture-style classes in Korea, they always make an effort to answer students' questions and conduct classes together interactively.”

• “I think Kings-London is a really great school. First of all, the teachers and students are very kind and friendly, and secondly, you can make friends from many nationalities. … Lastly, the garden is so pretty. It's nice to go outside during break time and chat.”

• CES-London

• “It's a different kind of cold from Korea, so if you are coming now, long sleeves, sweatshirts, and zip-up hoodies are an absolute must. Another student at my academy even wears a padded jacket—it's that chilly, so keep that in mind when packing. I brought too many short-sleeved shirts, so I ended up buying sweatshirts and hoodies here to wear.”

• “Because all classes are conducted in English, it can be tough and challenging, but as time goes on, class goes by so quickly and talking with friends becomes more and more fun. … Since everything is taught in English here, I recommend studying English grammar terminology before coming.”

• “Be sure to pack a mini electric blanket; I regretted not bringing one because it's so cold with radiators instead of floor heating like in Korea. Plus, it turns off in the middle of the night... A foreign classmate at the academy was in a homestay where the room was so cold that she caught a cold and asked the school to move her.”

• Kaplan-London (30+ operated separately)

• “Classes are not one-way lectures, but discussions where everyone participates. When the teacher gives a topic, we talk in pairs or groups, and when called on individually, we speak about what we discussed in our group. You might repeat what you said or share what your partner said. I feel my listening skills improved a lot during this process.”

• “Classes are not one-way lectures, but conversation-driven with everyone participating. When the teacher gives a topic, you talk with the partner sitting next to you or in a group, and when called on individually, you speak about what was discussed in the group. You might rephrase what you mentioned or share what a classmate said.”

• Kaplan-Bournemouth (30+ Operated Separately)

• “With many students, it provides a great environment to experience diverse cultures and communicate in English, and the curriculum is very systematic, even using internally produced textbooks. Moreover, beyond just classes at the school, you can review what you learned that day on their proprietary learning platform…”

• “First of all, the advantage of Kaplan is that it provides a great environment to experience diverse cultures and communicate in English thanks to having many students, and its curriculum is systematic enough to use its own self-developed textbooks. In addition, beyond just the classes at the academy, you can review what you learned that day on their proprietary learning portal...”

• Kaplan-Liverpool (30+ Separate Program)

• “Kaplan Liverpool has a dedicated 30+ class, which is rare worldwide, and I found it a great advantage to have classes tailored to different age groups; also, having fewer Koreans compared to other institutions really helped boost my English skills. However, there were more Arab students than I expected, so making friends from a wide variety of countries was a bit challenging contrary to my expectations.”
