I had such an amazing time at slec! I met amazing people that will be my lifelong friends. My teacher was wonderful and prepared me so well for the CAE! I definitively would recommend this English school to everyone. The location is also perfect. Queenstown is a great place to do a lot of activities and its just beautiful. I really miss this time a lot!

Highly recommended! My experience in Queenstown was much better thanks to SLEC and the people that work there. It is always improving the teaching methodology, furthermore, every week it makes outdoor activities to enjoy and to know NZ

Hi. My name is Alejandro. I have been studying in this school for 14 weeks. I am here because I want to tell my experience. The first thing I want to say in 'thank everyone' because this school feels like home. Everyone is frienly and I feel really confortable when I am here. I loved my classmates and teachers (Lucía, Tim and Erin). I loved mixing cultures (Europe, America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand), learning not only English but also about different cultures or ways to think. I want to tell you about Charlotte and Olga because they are amazing, friendly and funny. They can solve any problem inside or outside the school. However, not everything was good. I was studying in the evening class when the school decided to eliminate the evening class. It was one week before Christmas holidays. After holidays we needed to change our job or work in the weekends because we started to study in the mornings. I can understand the reason but I completely disagree with the way the did everything. The said they will help us but the real true was that in holidays noone was there working or helping us. Then I started to thing that the student were not important we were just numbers. In January began the caos. Classes were full so no matter the level they just tried to put every student in a class. They were not thinking in the student, they were thinking in the classes. I did not like it and two weeks after Chritsmas holidays I felt very dissapointed with the school. Finally, I decided that it is more important the good people working here than the company which think only in the money. This school has excellent teachers I can not say anything bad about them. This is an important thing when you are deciding where you should study, and for me, this school is unbeatable in this point. Also I have to say there is a piano and it makes me very happy, it has been the best surprise since I arrived New Zealand. I will keep in my heart everyone, no matter student or worker, who I met here, who changed me, who taught me... Because for me, at the end of the day, good things have more value than bad things. For me this school will always be my home. I will never forget you. Thanks for everything.

(Translated) If you are looking for a good school, go to SLEC! At the reception Olga and Charlotte are sweethearts and will help you with all your initial doubts and even tips about the city. The teachers are fantastic, they understand the level of each student and help in the best way, I am very grateful to Erin, Valentina, Poppy, Marie, Marcela and Tati in particular who helped me a lot of the time. Thanks also to Kathy's support that besides being an excellent teacher is the director responsible for the school and a fantastic person. I was very happy studying at SLEC and intend to go back to do a preparatory course for IELTS in the future. Many thanks for the SLEC support 💙 (Original) Se vc procura uma escola boa, vá pra SLEC ! Na recepção a Olga e a Charlotte são uns amores e vão te auxiliar em todas as suas dúvidas iniciais e até dicas sobre a cidade. As professoras são fantásticas, elas compreendem o nível de cada aluno e auxiliam da melhor forma, sou muito grato a Erin, Valentina, Poppy, Marie, Marcela e a Tati em especial que me auxiliou muito maior parte do tempo. Agradeço também o suporte da Kathy que além de ser uma excelente professora é a diretora responsável pela escola e uma pessoa fantástica. Fui muito feliz estudando na SLEC e pretendo voltar pra fazer um curso preparatório para o IELTS no futuro. Muito obrigado pelo apoio SLEC 💙

(Translated) I studied for 12 weeks at Southern lakes English college. I was really happy every day for 12 weeks. The friends are very diverse in different countries and the teachers are very kind. If you always know anything, kindly smiled and let me know. Once a week, I also have the opportunity to become more familiar with my schoolmates' activities. I would recommend SLEC if you are studying in Queenstown :) (Original) Southern lakes English college 에서 12주 동안 공부했던 학생이예요. 저는 어학원을 다닌 12주 내내 정말 하루하루가 행복했어요. 친구들도 나라별로 굉장히 다양하고 선생님들도 모두 친절하세요. 항상 모르는게 있으면 친절하게 웃으면서 알려주셨어요. 일주일에 한번씩 어학원 친구들이랑 학교에서 진행하는 Activity 활동들을 하면서 더 친해질 기회도 만들어주곤 해요. 퀸스타운에서 공부하신다면 저는 SLEC 추천드립니다 :)

(Translated) I don't know about other language schools, but I had a very good year. The only problem was that Queenstown prices were higher than in other areas. But it is also worth it. If you like outdoor activities, there are many fantastic hiking / tracking trails nearby. As it is a tourist destination, it is also a great advantage as it is lively compared to other areas. I was also satisfied with the language school life. (Original) 다른 어학원은 안 다녀봐서 모르겠지만, 아주 즐거운 1년을 보냈습니다. 퀸스타운 물가가 다른 지역에 비해 높은게 유일한 문제였어요. 하지만 그만큼 가치있는 곳이기도 합니다. 아웃도어 액티비티를 좋아한다면 근처에 환상적인 하이킹/트랙킹 코스가 많아요. 관광지라서 다른 지역에 비해서 활기가 넘치는 점도 지나고 보니 대단한 장점입니다. 어학원 생활도 만족스러웠어요.

(Translated) Very good school, I studied it for 6 weeks a few years ago. Mr Blaise, the owner, is very nice. Too bad I could never beat him on table tennis! hehe (Original) escola muito boa, estudei la por 6 semanas alguns anos atrás. mr blaise, o dono, é muito simpático. pena que nunca consegui bater ele no tenis de mesa! hehe
