Everything was very good. The classes very comfortable. The managing director was element. The teacher very good. The housing was over than I expected. Also the location from housing to school was close. If I could I would have stayed more time.
The teachers are all not only highly qualified but spend the time to focus on each and every student's interests and abilities. Furthermore the lessons are all tailored to the individual as much as possible.
Beyond the classroom, the Language Academy surpasses many other language schools. They created events like shopping, visiting museums, and dining that were all specifically created to help practice English in natural settings with the citizens of Gold Coast. These experiences were invaluable for confidence building.
I fully recommend the Language Academy for the students who know and expect a quality education. Pablo and his team consistently provided nothing but the best.
"This school was a perfect choice: high quality, individual teaching, high flexibility, reasonable price => TLA - what else?"

Me and my family stayed at the Gold Coast for half a year. During this time our kids attended Miami State High School and my husband and I invested some time to improve our English skills. My husband spent 2 weeks and I spent 10 weeks at The Language Academy. We both enjoyed the familiar atmosphere and appreciated the flexibility of schedule. We took a lot of benefit from the various learning groups and teachers. Special thanks to our main teacher, Sarah. Her classes were a perfect mix of theory, group work and fun. Her weekly projects were always challenging and instructive. We definitely like to recommend this school. It was worth every single dollar we’ve paid!
I love the school, it is spacious, clean and the classes were comfortable. I think Pablo is a great teacher and he made the Spanish language more enjoyable to learn. I love that there was a small group of students in the class. Students were treated well. Each student is given close attention and encouragement in order to learn faster and better. Everyone there were very friendly!
School is located in the heart of the Gold Coast, very close to the beach, Pacific Fair shopping center. It is very close to the public transport. School has contemporary design with well organised facilities and unique style.
English and Spanish teachers were well educated native speakers. Treated us with respect, very approachable and friendly. Always happy to stay a bit longer to help.
Classes were very dynamic and active. Covering all aspect of the language (English and Spanish) starting from listening, speaking and writing. Every week we had some activities including camping, scuba diving, bush-walking, yoga, healthy lifestyle. Every Friday there was a guest speaker.
My host family was very welcoming, every weekend we used to go out for a dinner.
Definitely I am coming back next year! This is the best language school I have found.
