In the language school, I was 4 weeks and during this time I really got a little bit of English, which is very good) the teachers speak only English and it's great because you want to not, but you will have to speak it. The lessons are not boring and you do not really miss it). In general, everything was very cool, I liked everything. I hope that I will have the opportunity to visit there.

I had an old dream to get a second higher education in England. And it is now being realized in large part thanks to people from Mercury Education. I was recommended by their relatives and initially relations were built on an open and trusting basis. They helped to determine the university and specialty, organized visits to universities and meetings with teachers, told a lot of subtleties and cunnings about life in the UK. I had an incident with the initially low ball of ITELS, but I managed to overcome this barrier too - thanks for the patience of my teacher Natalia. Household issues with the move, renting an apartment, a bank account I again decided with the friendly help of my "guides to England." Now everything is already adjusted and the head is busy than necessary - the subtleties of marketing, well, in English, where without it. I hope that the upcoming examinations will confirm the correctness of my choice. London - a chic city!

Last summer was for me the opening of a window to Europe. Although, as it turned out, the British do not recognize themselves in the literal sense of Europeans - we are British, told me several times local. I previously went to language courses in the suburbs, and at school English at a decent level with us. However, on the first day of the third day, I practically do not understand anything outside the framework of the lessons, in everyday conversations with native speakers from the staf and the residents of our city! They talked so quickly and so many unfamiliar expressions were used, just horror. I felt helpless at some point. Fortunately, most of the surrounding people were Italians, Spaniards and Germans - they are much more discriminating). I tried to communicate in English with other Russian students, but it was somehow ridiculous and ridiculous, as a result, quickly switched to my native language. I had classes before lunch, so there was a lot of time for sports and excursions. London in many places liked very much. Cambridge, too. I learned to play hockey on the grass in the camp. Gambling! At first it was strange and uncomfortable to run around with a rubber mouth in the mouth (like boxers), smile or talk with her extremely funny. Some guys tried to abandon it, but the coach forbade playing without defense. There generally somehow more strictly than we do - do not run there, stick not the machine, do not throw the ball high ... We have a simpler school with such things. In general, I would not call the English lovers of risk and extreme. My three weeks passed by unnoticed. Closer to the departure, there was practically no problem with communication in English! I wanted to stay again. I hope next year will be repeated.

Our son is very interested in football (although we don’t expect this to be his future profession) and we gifted him a month of attendance at the football summer school run by Fulham FC for his 12th birthday. Whilst it is not the club with the most titles, it has a rich history and an amazing team of coaches. Our son was very excited as there are a lot of legendary players in English football that he admires. How proud he is after the trip! There was also the option to attend English classes alongside the football, and we grabbed this chance. There was enough time for both studying and training. He progressed in both disciplines. Both parents and the child were very pleased, although the trip was rather expensive. Our son would like to go again and if he achieves the academic goals we set for him we will organize another trip as a reward.

I went to summer camp to improve my English in 2015 and 2016 and it was great. Although I used to have English lessons with my tutor in Moscow, I couldn’t speak fluently. England is very different from my native city. I do love Moscow and my country and would like to live In Russia, but after visiting England my philosophy changed and I became much more open minded or something…These holidays can’t be compared to previous trips to resorts under parents’ supervision. I expected difficult independent work, and thought I would need to overcome day-to-day difficulties, but the reality was different. My study was easy and interesting. Everyone was very positive and always ready to help me. I felt that teachers cared about me and respected me. My parents were pleased with my progress in English ( I translated for them when we were in a restaurant in Italy). I now have great friends from many different countries, we still speak on Skype, which is good practice for my English.

They organized a very intensive and interesting one week business English program. Our goal was to prepare our employees for work at a trade exhibition in London. Before the course, all employees already understood English rather well and could deal with business correspondence. However, their speaking skills required significant improvement. Our group of six arrived to London and we studied spoken English 6 hours a day over 5 days. Moreover, we were very pleased by Mercury Education’s prices for their services, which were almost twice as cheap than many of their competitors. Mercury Education even organized several short, but very informative tours of London which allowed us to learn a lot about the City. The excursions were very intense, but enjoyable for the entire group.

I have been studying at a public school for two years and I’m grateful to Mercury Education’s consultants, who helped me during the admission process and who continue to support me through my studies. I can always ask them for advice and it was particularly vital during the first year at the school, when everything was new for me. I can always rely on my guardian who resolves any enquiries very quickly. We have a great relationship and I can always trust her.

My children’s education is a top priority for me. It was initially a difficult decision to choose England for their study, although we realised a long time ago that this was the right thing to do. Our friends (their children have already finished their studies in the UK) were very pleased. Our daughter went to the UK for English courses twice in the last 18 months. The result was great! In future, we are planning to prepare them to study for their A-Levels in the UK, with view of applying to a British university. In terms of our work with Mercury Education, everything was crystal-clear and easy, precise and quick. We were very pleased with their service. I wish we had more business partners like Mercury Education.

Our son and daughter have been studying English for two weeks in Summer 2016. Their grades for English at school have significantly improved. They were so happy that they didn’t even notice that we sent them to study during their summer holiday. The school was situated on the seashore and they went to the beach almost every day. Administrative work of Mercury Education managers was perfect and everything went smoothly in spite of the fact, that we are very demanding clients. We noticed the difference between working with a company based in the UK, as compared to Russian-based companies. We have previously had some negative experience working with Russian agencies based in Moscow. They provided information that was not entirely correct and prices were frequently quoted without including key components. Work with Mercury Education was completely different. The team combines professionalism with sincerity, which is rarely seen in our uncertain times. We are lucky that our friends recommended Mercury Education to us, as we found a lot of shady agencies browsing internet.

Our daughter Maria spent 3 weeks in Summer camp combining learning English and volleyball. Her spoken English was at a very law level because of constant change of teachers and teaching methods at her current school. She significantly improved her English during the summer camp and now she is one of the best students in her class! In Autumn, we went to a ski resort in Austria and she spoke English with the hotel staff better than us and felt very confident. without any language barrier. On the other hand, volleyball training in the camp was rather weak and seemed too easy for Maria in comparison to our Youth Sports School.
