IELS Reviews

Very good school, very nice staff and teacher. Will recommend the school more and more.

Friendly staff and the most teachers are good in in doing. They also try to mix the classes for nationality and age, what is a good thing in my opinion. But, in my opinion the afternoon activities are to much concentrated to have party.

I studied 2 weeks in this school and it's really creative

As a teacher, I have just come back from Malta where I had been Staying for 2 weeks with 18 students from 11 to 15 years old. I complained for the Low level of the teaching quality. Not native teachers, with a bad knowledge of English, mess, noise in classes, everybody could do what they wanted. I asked to move some of my students because the level was not right for them, but they did it for only a few. Excursions were a mess: bad organized with young leaders who didn't know what to do, no previous info about the excursions, no controls in the apartments by the leaders. Bring apartments: horrible, dirty, full of beatles and big insects. Food was disgusting and of a very low quality. I claimed a lot, but it was useless. Not again with my students.

My niece (Italian) was attending a two week course:
- The school was awfully hot - no ACs in classrooms
- She saw a couple of cockroaches
- Toilets are out of order
- activities are disorganised (transport is a mess) and relatively boring for the students.

The only positive aspect were the activity leaders, which are friendly and outgoing. For the price, we expected much better!

It is a very nice and cozy place, where you meet a lot of people and the teachers are great, I went there 2 years ago and I still remember my teacher Tamara Micallef, I like her!

Hi, I am an English native speaker teacher in Italy and have recently spent 2 weeks in Sliema with a small group of Italian students.
My students really enjoyed the course and were happy with their teachers and class activities. They said the teachers were motivating and they felt they were learning a lot of new words and expressions. They loved the afternoon and evening activities with the activity leaders.
As an Esl teacher I really liked it and found the staff super friendly and very helpful. I enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere there and actually quite miss the buzz!
I found the activities were a nice combination of fun and culture. They had quite a few parties and also visited historical cities . I believe they had a lot to offer for teenagers who are not easily satisfied! Well done!
The only thing my students complained about was the food..the sandwiches weren't appreciated but I trust that it will be improved in the future! Hope to be there again!

My son was 1 week in Malta with the school. Very bad family accommodation, both as environment and as reception: the lady who hosted them (who lives with a forty-year-old son) gave the boys little food, if they returned at about 7 pm, because of the excursions, they skipped dinner and did not have permission to access the refrigerator. The lady also put the lock. So he often arranged with the Mac Donald. Unclean environment. Never seen such a thing for my son who has made several stays in uk. The course provided by the school was not very useful, not very serious for the entrance test, only Italian classes in their case, the same for the final test in a noisy and poorly controlled environment. My son had fun because he was with friends / companions. Beautiful hikes but we paid them separately.

At least the school is better than the Days Inn hotel. The reception was always attentive, they made several legal tours available. The teachers are excellent, they cared about the students, helped in the interaction, the classes were very didactic. The school's facilities were clean, airy and organized. The only negative point was the level rating, I found it very slow. Besides, I recommend it.

I quickly filled out documents for the summer camp by phoning the school. Many thanks to the school managers for the explanation and help. I think the training and relaxation will also be organized at a high level

Good grading and absolutely recommended in the small groups.

good place to learn English, nice teachers and a beautiful and lovely guest Family!

This school is fantastic. The organisation is good an the teachers too

school evil organized in the excursions and tours. we have done to pay the hike, they did Occupy places to US reserved and after not be gone up there have refunded. school unreliable.

Very nice school, useful lessons and professors available and good

I sent my 14-year-old son to Malta for a 2-week study holiday at Iels. The experience was very bad: the host family (an elderly lady and the forty-year-old son) did not give him enough food, the room and the linen were not clean and barely addressed him. The English course did not help much as it was placed in a class that was not suited to its level of language proficiency. The organization of activities lacking from various points of view.
