York’s best mix of study and family adventure
The combination of the Guest House with the College is an excellent concept for families with children! Not only learning but also fun, joy and many activities were the order of the day!
Learn Mandarin in the heart of Shanghai.
I’m so happy I chose That’s Mandarin — it was absolutely the right decision for me.
My teachers are kind, patient, and highly skilled. They make sure everything is clear and create a fun, supportive learning environment where you feel comfortable from the start. I feel more confident with my Chinese every day.
I also really enjoy the atmosphere at the school. The classes are engaging, and getting to know other students makes the experience even more rewarding.
I truly enjoy being part of this school and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Mandarin in Shanghai.

The arrival and welcome were fantastic, I loved it. The staff and teachers are amazing.
Italian learning under the Calabrian sun — in Tropea
Once again, I’ve spent a brilliant two weeks in Tropea — where the sun always shines, both outside and inside the Piccola Università! The teaching is excellent, with a great variety of topics that help me improve my Italian year after year. The entire staff is so friendly, and the school truly feels like one big happy family. Thank you — I’ll be back again next year!
Experience Japanese hospitality — study in Fukuoka
The school made me feel like a special person, not just another student. I stayed with a host family who were incredibly kind and showed me around the city — we’re still in touch today!
Learn German stress-free — in historic Regensburg
This is the best learning experience! I learned more than I expected and met so many great people from different countries. Horizonte makes everyone feel comfortable and at home. Every student is there for a reason and treated with respect — no stress! My teacher is great!
A place that is worth a piece of your heart
I believe that what makes an experience unforgettable is that special moment when you realise that a new place feels like home, no matter how far you really are from it. This is simply what I have felt right here; like I’m in a large family, with a multicultural atmosphere.
Learn Korean, live Korean — in Seoul’s most welcoming hagwon
This hagwon is wonderful! The teachers are so kind and genuinely want you to succeed. The school offers a personalised approach, with a strong focus on speaking — all in a supportive and encouraging environment. They also include two activities a week in the tuition, like visiting palaces or going out to eat, so you get to practise Korean in real-life situations with the help of your classmates and teachers. The campus is modern and welcoming, with snacks, coffee, tea, and Wi-Fi always available. All the staff are incredibly kind and make sure you understand everything!
Learn English in the heart of London
Studying at Frances King is an enjoyable way to learn English. I have improved my speaking and writing skills – lessons were never boring; we learn through practising and meeting other nationalities.
