Everyone has been so friendly, giving guidance at each stage of applying to university. Teachers have also been really helpful, explaining topics clearly an making us understand the assessment tasks.
My experience at Stay Campus has been magnificent. I've made significant progress in my English over the past two weeks. I no longer have difficulties understanding the language, and my pronunciation has improved since I started classes. I'm eager to stay longer because I can see that I'm learning very quickly.
