Response from The Excellence Center
Hi James,
Thank you for sharing your detailed and insightful review of your time at the Excellence Center in Germany. It's wonderful to hear about your positive experiences, both in teaching English to a diverse group of students and in taking German lessons.
Your reflections on the community spirit and the opportunity to build constructive relationships with individual students resonate well. It's heartening to know that you found the teaching experience rewarding, and Muaz's dedication to pushing students to speak their best is commendable.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the scheduling challenges for lessons and the accommodation issues. We understand that these aspects, while not detracting significantly from your overall experience, could be improved for future volunteers.
It's particularly delightful to read about the enriching cultural exchange and the strong bond among volunteers. The European excursions, shared breakfasts, and cultural insights make for a memorable and fulfilling experience. We're glad that your time at the Excellence Center provided a gateway to unforgettable memories and a positive introduction to Europe.
James, thank you for being a part of our community, and we wish you continued success in your future endeavors.
Warm regards from Halle, Germany,
