Customer Feedback
I thought that it was very informative and interesting. The teacher was brilliant, and the time flew by as we had fun while in fact learning.
Charlotte Martin
I choose Cactus because of the large choice of locations that they have and I can say that it is a great language travel company. I liked Cardiff a lot and the school classes that I took were excellent.
Elodie Leclerc
I really enjoyed the course, I found it very useful and it gave me the knowledge and confidence to teach a class, as well as meeting some fantastic people!
The course was good to watch and learn from others and being able to have lots of feedback on your lesson.
Anne Armstrong
The course was well led and well taught. There was no surplus information - everything was important. I enjoyed learning about classroom management as well as teaching techniques. Also, meeting like-minded (open-minded) people.
