Three months at Hilderstone

My name is Charlotte and I stayed for three months at Hilderstone until October 2017. Although I could improve my English skills, it’s still difficult for me to write an essay! (I never liked it). Always when I think back I have a big smile on my face because my time at the school was […]

Agnes came to us in the autumn of 2015 and stayed into 2016. With her constant smile and energy she worked hard to reach her level and get on a Masters course in Sheffield. It was no surprise to us when we heard that she had graduated.

When I went to Hilderstone College to improve speaking and writing, it was the time I needed to improve my IELTS score, which was 6 in the average for the second time. I had to reach 7 in next 6 months. I had two fantastic teachers, which were Lee and Pierre, playing an important role […]

I can say […]

First time, I arrived in the UK I can’t understand and speak English, but Hilderstone College gave me more confidence when speaking English. Also, […]

From teachers to staff, everyone at Hilderstone is friendly and they always try to help whatever your needs. They are cheerful and positive to you. If they cannot solve your problem, they explain everything to you but mostly they solve everything. Teachers behave as a friend and they respect you, wherever you are from. They […]

Hilderstone College is the perfect place to improve your English. Thanks to the great teachers, the lessons were fun and very effective. I also liked the varied social programme and the beautiful landscape in and around Broadstairs which is ideal for bike riding! The best thing is that you will meet fascinating people from all […]
