Hear what the students have to say about our English courses

Our students choose to study English with us for a variety of factors; whether it's for personal reasons, for their job, or simply to meet new people and discover Jersey's beautiful scenery. You can read more about their experiences here:

I really enjoyed studying at St Brelades college. I met very nice people not only at the college but in Jersey too. It´s a beautiful place for studying and also for spending your time on holiday. If I could, I would go back right now.
Marketa Lipavska, Czech Republic, Intensive and combined adult English course

Jersey is such a beautiful island. I studied on the 50+ programme for two weeks at the St Brelade's College. I really enjoyed the course and the school excursions too. I thought the teachers were excellent.
I also made some friends and we've been contacting each other by email.
I would like to study at this school again if I have the chance.
Aki Yano, Japan, 50+ English programme

I spent one week at St Brelade's College in Jersey and it was highly satisfying: the courses were adapted to the student's level, were complete and interesting. I had different teachers during my intensive courses, they were complementary and had good teaching skills. In addition, many social events were organized: it was also a nice way to improve my English.
Cecile Aufranc, France, Intensive English course

My first time at St Brelade's College was so profitable that I have been back there several times. The distribution of the students into classes was cleverly made, so that I could efficiently learn along with other people who shared a comparable level in English. The teachers were very careful to adapt their lessons to every student's needs and expectations, which I appreciated, especially in business classes. I enjoyed the social programme of the school which gave me good opportunities to practice my English. I learned a lot about the British habits and culture as the teachers who took part in the social events were keen on sharing their knowledge and answering my questions. All the whole staff of the school were also very helpful with practical matters in or out of the school. For all these reasons the few weeks I spent at St Brelade's College and in Jersey were of great benefit and I now feel much more confident when I speak English.
Dominique Sergent, French, standard adult English course

We are so happy that we decided to come here. I have been to many other language schools in different countries and I can say, this is absolutely the best I have ever been to!
It's all so well organized. I like the afternoon programmes and my daughters love theirs, too.
I was very happy with the two teachers, they did a great job, with lots of conversation and not too much grammar. If someone wanted to know something in detail, they always explained it to us though.
I have never had such a nice and wonderful host family too. They are so kind and friendly and always helping us, when we have questions. And I am sure: Christine is the best cook without a restaurant in Jersey - it feels like in a 5 Star Hotel!
Anita Magnin, Switzerland, 2 week standard English course & Junior holiday course for daughters

I had a good experience at the college. The teachers, other students and activity guides helped me improve my English. Two weeks at St Brelade's College was a good idea for me.
Hoarau Raymonde, French, 2 weeks elementary adult course

I really enjoyed the whole time. It was interesting to meet all the new people and the teachers did a very good job. I also enjoy the trips. To learn and practice English in such pleasant company was a great thing. Thanks for the good time.
Barbara Ostheimer, German, adult intensive English course

It was very enjoyable and interesting for me and for my wife to visit Jersey and learn English. Teachers were very versatile; they guess your shortcomings and discuss areas of weakness. I think I have improved my English, especially my pronunciation, use of tenses and I know what I must concentrate on further.
The general atmosphere was friendly, all the more because all countries were represented. On my course there were four German, two Czech, one Japanese and two Swiss. It was impossible for me to talk in French!
B. Vandermersch, France, 50+ English programme

I enjoyed my stay in Jersey! I was in a family with two boys who were between 10 and 14 years old, one Spanish and one Swiss. In the mornings we had lessons and games in English and after the lunch we choose activities which we wanted to do in the afternoon. There was a lot of choice like bowling, beach, tennis, wind surfing and more! And the evening we were in the family for the dinner so it was perfect for improve our English! For me, it was a very good idea to go to St Brelade's College because there is a very friendly atmosphere and it was perfect to learn English without stress.
Alexis Fairier, 15, Italy, 2 week summer holiday course

Morning classes dramatically improved our English. We did activities, games and others things. It was very entertaining and at the same time we moved forward. I saw the results this year on my grades.
Arethuse Anais, 15, France, 2 week summer holiday course

I really enjoyed Jersey! Lessons were very interesting, and they really helped my English. St Brelade College is the proof of how you can have fun while you're learning. However, the best thing was being able to interact with boys and girls from other countries.
Sara Zawam, 14, Italy, 3 week summer holiday course
