Really good mix in classes. The book is super interesting (so happy I can keep it!) It is also a good age group in the class. I loved to go on the activities with my class.

I love my class! Best team ever and an award winning school. I really enjoyed the duration of the classes, the location and the staff. I just spoke in English here and I can say my English improved a lot.

It was a good experience in Apollo Language Centre. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the teachers were very good. I made a lot of friends from different nationalities. In the end I had a good experience in Apollo and I hope I can come again.

Actually before I joined Apollo I had been searching for the best school in Ireland to improve my English. I had asked many students about their experiences in Apollo and other schools. They advised me to choose Apollo. Honestly within a few weeks my language improved more than I expected. It was a family environment, not only a language school. Many thanks to all the staff there.

The perfect school in Dublin if you want to improve your English! Great teachers and all the staff from the school are really polite! Best school ever.
