Negative experience: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته تجربتي مع معهد كانت سيء للغايه + دراسه اي كلام وتعليمهم جدا سيء وغالبية الطلاب عرب يعني ماراح تسفيد اي شيء نصيحة حاول تشوف معاهد افضل من مكان هذا هذا غير تعامل مدير السيء جدا + لو حاولت تسحب فلوسك غالبا يرفضون لانو عارفين انو تعليمهم اي كلام + طلاب مايمارسون الانجليزي الحصه عباره عن سوالف بلغه عربيه ممكن وحيد الي يتكلم انجليزي هو مدرس لكن الحمد الله على كل حال اتمنى تعليقي يفيدكم . My experience with this institute was very disappointing. The teaching quality was poor, and the lessons were not well organized or effective. Many students were not encouraged to speak English during class, which defeats the purpose of studying here. In my opinion, there are better options available

Fantastic experience: The best language school in the UK!
Fantastic experience: I studied here for four months, and it was incredible. I made a leap from 6.0 to 7.5 in IELTS and achieved a C1 certificate. Everything is well-organized, and the tutors are truly passionate about what they do. The staff is also very helpful. I'm incredibly grateful to Lewis Richards, Greg, Emily, Rebecca, Jane, Josh, and Charlie. The entire team is amazing, and every teacher contributed to my progress. Moreover, LSI provides an excellent extracurricular program (Thanks, Niki!), including trips around the South of England. Leisure activities are organized flawlessly. It was a beautiful, dream-like experience for me. Many, many thanks to all.
Fantastic experience: درست في هذا المكان عام ٢٠١٨، كان كل شي رائع والطاقم كان رائع.
Fantastic experience: My trip with Lsi was an incredible and transformative experience. During the time immersed in the local culture, I significantly improved my English in daily communication and classes. Lsi’s methodology is effective and engaging, making learning natural and fun. The excursions and cultural activities provided practical language experience, something impossible to achieve only in the classroom. The teachers and staff were always attentive and helpful, creating a welcoming and motivating environment. I made many lasting friendships with people from various parts of the world. I recommend Lsi to anyone seeking quality learning and unforgettable moments.
Thank you, Khaled! We are delighted that you enjoyed your time studying with us in Portsmouth. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we wish you the best of luck with your future studies!
