O que dizem de nós

  • Paulo Magalhães Economista

    "Um elevado padrão de ensino, com grupos pequenos, que permite um bom nível de aprendizagem. Gostei do facto de os professores serem nativos da língua e da informalidade com que as aulas foram leccionadas."
  • Alexandre Ventura (empresas)

    "A prática foi muito boa, e com resultados imediatos."

    "The teachers were really good. They concentrated correctly on what I needed to learn"
  • Helena Mendes (curso em empresa)

    "Adorei a professora e aprendi muito e gostava de continuar"

    "Foi uma forma descontraida de "desenferrujar" a língua inglesa. Era esse o principal objectivo e acho que foi atingido"

    "A professora dá as aulas com muita motivação!"
  • Angelo Gomes (curso em empresa)

    "Existiu a preocupação de adequar o curso ao nível linguístico de cada formando. Os termos abordados foram de encontro às necessidades individuais e gerais."
