"It was a very good experience for me"

Noémie Bardin, student from France

I really liked the classes because I improved my listening and my speaking. My teacher was perfect for me, he helped me a lot.

I didn't like the test at the end of the course because it was a written test which was exactly the same as the test at the beginning. I went to this school to improve my listening and my speaking, so I think that the test would be better if it was different.

I am glad you enjoyed your course and your teacher.
We use the same test at the beginning and the end as we can then accurately measure improvement. You did well.
