Program Reviews

I had the most amazing two weeks. I am grateful that I had the chance of working with such an enthusiastic and fun group of people. The program is great, even more than what I expected!
Also the participants were welcoming, thrilled to share their culture and interesting to talk to. Engaged to the activities that are provided by the Angloville team and always excited to go to the Speaking Sessions and getting to know more about the Mentors backgrounds.
I can say I made great friends too! People from other countries with different mentalities and approaches to the world which was basically why I signed up in the first place. Would recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and different experience. I would love t do it again without hesitation!

I've just completed two programs (one in Hungary and another in Poland).
It was a great experience, and a chance to meet people and see places that I otherwise wouldn't.
The locations were beautiful, the coordinators were friendly and approachable, and the local participants were fascinating people to talk to. It's an intensive schedule, but not once was I bored or did I run out of things to talk about. Group activities were interesting and, there was enough time to use the hotel facilities (from swimming pools to horse riding lessons!).
The city tour and lunch before the program was excellent, and a great way to see a new city in a short time.
I'll definitely be back next summer.

Highly recommended!

My last three weeks working with Angloville have been nothing short of memorable. This programme is great for those who enjoy working with kids and is such a fantastic way to spend your summer.
This experience opened up a whole new world of volunteering for me. What an amazing way to meet extraordinary like minded people, stay in some great locations throughout Poland, learn about a different culture and all you had to do was talk.
Angloville also provide free walking tours on the Saturday before a programme and if you are able to do one, I would definitely recommend it. They provide you with free lunch and it is a great way to meet some people who may be on your programme for that week.
Personally, I think this is the best way to experience a country, it's people, and a great way to make friends. After Angloville I took some time to travel around and it was great getting advice from the kids and other native speakers on what I should do/see during my time here.

I had a great week with angloville. It's a great chance to meet people and help people to improve not just their english language but also their confidence.
It is a very intense week though with very long days and you dont realise how tired you can be just from talking!
I dont agree with having to pay such a high deposit or the fact we dont get it all back as we are after all volunteers, but that is just my opinion.
I had some great conversations and really learnt a lot from the people taking part in the programme.
Another thing is the programmes dont take place in the city itself, usually it's in the countryside which is great but do go expecting to see loads of a place, you only see the city if you do the tour or go to visit it before or after the programme.
I would do it again, I've made some great new friends and loved every minute of it.

This was an amazing experience. I got the chance to meet lots of different people ripped and we experience completely different culture and speak to the Hungarian participants. All of the Hungarian participants were extremely enthusiastic and willing to take part in all the different socials activities and in the one to one conversation sessions. it was great to also get somebody experience teaching the participants in the classroom and get some experience teaching English to non native speakers. The staff and angloville coordinators were very flexibile and were able to adapt to each of our individual needs and make sure then PROGRAMMAE went smoothly and wverythingg ran well. I would definitely recommend this programmae to anyone who with wants to travel and even to experience a new culture .

I was feeling a little flat having spent the last 13 years in higher education and fighting systems and changes on a daily basis. I've been intrigued by the concept of immersion education and this opened up the opportunity to see it in action. As an educator I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and even more so due to meeting like-minded individuals who were passionate about similar things to me. Not only that, but the students were incredibly interesting and the weekly field trips really pushed me out of my comfort zone ... I even went through a tiny cave and hiked up a mountain - it was thrilling! I made loads of new friends and networking connections that have changed my future for the better. I feel like I developed as an educator and as a human, and I will definitely be doing this again in future.

Angloville was an incredible opportunity to work with local Junior's in Hungary and the Czech Republic and further thier English whilst also gaining a greater understanding of thier backgrounds and culture. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 camps, both the coordinators and the other mentors were extremely supportive and the camps were run successfully. The range of activities was good and ensured that the Juniors could practise English in a range of situations whilst also remaining interesting for the mentors. I felt that whilst the week was intensive, there was still a healthy amount of down-time which ensured that we were refreshed for the next day's activities. It was a real pleasure to mentor such nice and bright Juniors and I'd like to come back again next year.

I worked at the Bobrowa Dolina camp from the 28th July 2019 to the 3rd August 2019.

In my opinion Angloville is a great way to travel, meet new people and gain teaching experience. Throughout the week I spent at Angloville I progressively became more confident in teaching English through the one-to-one and one-to-two speaking sessions with Polish children. It was also good to see that the children's confidence in speaking English grew immensely throughout the week, and made the experience very rewarding for me personally.

The activity leader, Megan, also made the whole experience far more enjoyable by providing a mixture of activities throughout the week, from games to creative activities and cultural exchanges.

I would highly recommend Angloville to anyone looking to travel and who want to enter the teaching profession in the future.

One of the best weeks of my life, the opportunity to help Polish children build upon their English is something I wish I’d known about sooner. This was also a good opportunity to learn about a country’s culture firsthand and it was a privilege to have been able to take part, I cannot recommend this programme enough to students and travellers that want to try something completely new. This was also a really good opportunity to meet like-minded people from around the world and it provided a great chance to build your network and make some new life-long friends. The coordinators as well were friendly and always made sure that not only were you enjoying yourself but that you were feeling okay. Overall this was an amazing opportunity and I cannot recommend it enough.

My experience was unique as I had the opportunity to teach Polish children English. I loved camp as I learnt different methods that I could implement in my classroom come September so it was very beneficial for me!. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people from all over the world with similar interests and values. I thought that this experience gave me a new found love for the language, one that I hoped I entrusted in the children that I taught. I thought that the kids enjoyed the camp immensely too as they immersed themselves in the English language and learnt about different cultures of the volunteers also. I though that the venues we’re very suitable to camp as they we’re spacious and provided facilities that helped wth enjoyment at camp.
