Excellent school

I did two weeks of classes at LTL in Taipei and had an extremely positive experience. I stayed with a host mother and daughter and found that, compared to a previous school I'd been to without a homestay, it helped a huge amount with language progress – living with them and travelling in by train to school each day, I was surprised by how quickly I felt that I was living a real life there. I did 4-hour group classes each morning, and had lovely teachers – Chienyi, Thomas and Tammy. The class was small too (three other students, and on some days only two), so I got a lot out of these. Then I did two hours of 1-to-1 tuition each afternoon with Jessica, and these were some of the very best classes I’ve ever had: the time flew by because the conversations were always so stimulating, and yet used very little English. Jessica was clearly skilled at gauging a student’s level and then tailoring to suit that. Alin set everything up smoothly and professionally in the weeks before arrival. And in Taipei, Riona was fun and generous – always setting up activities and outings, and escorting students to a different eatery for lunch almost every day of the week. Highly recommend this school. And it’s a breeze to jump on the train after class and head to nearby Elephant Mountain to see the sunset!
