Course Reviews — Hear From Our Students
Posted on Google Winetta D'AlmeidaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good institute and have been learning Arabic since a couple of months, and have made great progress thanks to our wonderful instructor Ms. Fayza. She is an outstanding Arabic teacher. She's incredibly patient and kind, and always makes sure every student truly understands what's being taught before moving on. Her teaching goes well beyond the textbook. She brings real passion into every class, which makes learning so much more engaging. She's also wonderfully polite and genuinely invested in her students' progress. Highly recommend her to anyone learning Arabic at Eton Institute!Posted on Google swathika nairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had classes with Ms. Sepiedeh and I must say she is really a wonderful professor. She explains everything clearly and was patient and chilled with us. Thanks to her and Ms. Sheena as our coordinator.Posted on Google SueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Both of my children are currently taking private English lessons, and we are very happy with both teachers. Ms. Saniya is very kind and creates a comfortable and positive learning environment where my child feels at ease. She is always quick to provide feedback and does a great job adapting her lessons to my child’s needs and level. I also had lessons with Ms. Saniya myself in the past and was very satisfied with her teaching, which is why I felt confident asking her to teach my children as well. Ms. Kirsteen explains basic grammar and concepts in a very systematic and clear way, which has really helped improve my child’s English skills. I would especially recommend her for students who are willing to work consistently and follow the lessons diligently. We are extremely satisfied with both teachers and would highly recommend them. I would also like to thank the coordinators, Jen and Sheena, for always being so helpful and supportive. We truly appreciate all their help!Posted on Google Saif ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They really take care of you in your language learning journey. Tamima and Neshwa are the best teacher and coordinator!!Posted on Google Elena SemenovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a very positive experience learning Spanish at Eton Institute. The whole program is very professionally organized, with well-structured materials and a clear learning approach that makes it easy to stay engaged and see progress. A special thank you to our wonderful teacher, Tamima. She has a great ability to connect with the group, create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, and keep everyone motivated throughout the course. Her encouragement and positive energy make the learning process both effective and enjoyable. I also really appreciate the small group size. It creates a friendly environment where everyone participates, supports each other, and genuinely enjoys learning Spanish together. I’m very happy with my experience so far and I’m definitely planning to continue my Spanish studies with Eton Institute.Posted on Google Becky SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a really positive experience learning Spanish with Eton Institute and would definitely recommend them. Tooba, the advisor, made setting up my online lessons so smooth. As someone new to online learning, she made everything easy and organised a small online group that has been perfect for us. She’s friendly, helpful and always happy to assist. Neshwa is also extremely organised and quick to respond to any queries or issues which is great. And a special thank you to Tamima, who is an amazing Spanish teacher. She makes each lesson fun, engaging and challenging, while being warm and encouraging. Her knowledge of Spanish-speaking countries brings the language to life, and I feel I’m making progress despite never learning a new language before. Our small group has even became friends, which has made the experience even more fun. Tamima has made learning Spanish much easier and more enjoyable than I ever expected!Posted on Google Dream BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm really enjoying my time with Eton Institute! The lessons are so well-structured and easy to follow, and the coordinators do a fantastic job keeping everything on schedule. Both the admin team and my teacher Tamima are incredibly approachable, which makes learning here a breeze. A huge thank you to Abeer for her passionate, expert support, and to Neshwa for her highly professional and organized emails. I'm excited for my next classes!
