Testimonials

I had an incredible experience at Beet; the school is exceptionally welcoming, and every staff member, from reception to teachers and cafeteria staff, is genuinely warm-hearted. Their passion for their work is palpable. The canteen consistently serves fresh and delicious food. In my opinion, Beet deserves a well-earned 5-star rating!

First of all, every staff and student is very very kind and friendly. It’s easy to consult with them any time if you have any problems or troubles. The General English course I took was based on the level of English of each student. The atmosphere in the classroom was awesome and I really enjoyed every class. There is a cafeteria here, and the chocolate brownies are especially wonderful. After-school activities are also abundant. Anyway, there are so many opportunities for students to speak English in Beet. This is the best place to improve your English skills. I strongly recommend you to choose Beet.

Beet is a fantastic place to learn! The teachers are skilled and supportive, using interactive methods to make lessons engaging. Small class sizes allow for personalized attention, and the cultural activities enhance the learning experience. Highly recommended for all language learners!

I studied at Beet for 3 months and can recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their English. It was such a nice experience. Beet was like a big family. The teachers are highly qualified and create captivating lessons every day. In December, all students are invited to a Christmas party with the teachers, which was an amazing event. All the other staff are also friendly and dedicated. The women at reception are always happy to help and Tanja in the canteen makes sure that everyone gets a delicious meal. I have learnt so much and maybe I will come back one day. Thank you so much, Beet!

I don’t think that I’ll be able to put into words everything that BEET represented for me. First of all, as soon as I arrived at the school, I knew that I’d made the correct choice. I was so pleased to be a BEET student from day one. The girls at the reception treated me so well, and it was always a pleasure to talk to them and see the effort they made to help with anything you needed. The canteen is excellent, with great food and awesome people, always spreading love and kindness. I can’t thank the teachers enough for everything that I learned. All of them are great, and they can see the strongest skills you have and how to work on your weakest skills as well. In addition, I couldn’t have asked for a better homestay. Andrew made me feel at home, and he was always concerned if I needed something. We were always talking to each other, and I learned a lot about British culture from him. Last but not least, I made real friends while I was there, and I’ll be forever grateful. I miss you guys so much!

I attended the BEET language school for 4 weeks and had the wonderful opportunity to experience a fantastic time there! The whole team is characterized by a warm, family-like atmosphere, and I was able to significantly improve my English skills. I highly recommend BEET to everyone, whether young or old. For me, it was an unforgettable experience that I wouldn’t want to miss. Thank you to the BEET team!

I want to say that I spent 6 weeks at this school, and it was incredible! A special thanks to the administration, with them I felt safe and confident, as they could solve any issue. I had several teachers, and each one deserves recognition, but I especially want to thank Billie, who helped me discover the ability to speak and not be afraid of making mistakes. Of course, it was a real pleasure to attend Julia’s lessons; the material was very interesting. I recommend you attend, especially the afternoon classes. And you absolutely must try Tanya’s desserts!

It was one of the best language centres that I’ve ever been to. Everything is great especially the teachers who are always kind and professional and everyone treat each other like a big family. At the end I felt like I was leaving some of my best friends because I had such a good time with my teachers and classmates ! (I even recommended a Netflix show to my teacher Stephanie and she binged watched it so we could talk about it) Special thank to the teachers that I had (Stephanie and Linda) because nobody had ever made me enjoy English lessons like they did. It was a true and genuine experience that I would recommend to every single person that sees this review.

I want to thank some people who have helped me and explain how my 12 weeks at Beet have changed me. When I arrived at Beet, I was shy, nervous, and lacking confidence. The friendly greeting I received from the reception staff, accommodation, and teachers made me feel safe. After 6 weeks, my sister returned home, and I had to become independent. With the help and support of the staff, I am now happy, confident, and have achieved a level of English that I am proud of. I return to Saudi Arabia a different person. I will definitely recommend Beet school to friends and family.
