Park Subin
Korea · Intensive English Programme
"GL Academy is in a great location, and the teachers are incredibly kind — they always make sure to explain everything in a way that's easy to understand. Since the classes are small, I can practice much more intensively. Plus, the facilities are well-equipped and comfortable, making it a perfect environment for studying."
Abdullah
Yemen · Intensive English Programme
"The institute is very beautiful — in a quiet and upscale area. The classes have very few students, sometimes 4 or fewer, which helped me understand English better and gave me much more practice time with the teachers."
Ian
Germany · IELTS Preparation
"I'm extremely grateful to GL Academy for helping me achieve my desired IELTS score. My target was 7.5, but I ended up scoring an amazing 8.0 overall with just one week of preparation and no prior knowledge of IELTS. Teachers were kind and helpful, and the owner even adjusted my classes to fully optimise my learning. I highly recommend GL Academy! 😁"
