Student Testimonial

I’m writing this with tears in my eyes to thank you and the entire EC Team for the best experience of my life. I finished my two weeks of General English at the end of March and I’m speechless. It was a dream coming true to study at EC Cape Town and now I understand why EC is the best school for foreigners to learn English. I’m extremely grateful to you for providing me these two weeks of intensive learning and I really hope to meet you again one day❤️.
