The quality of the TESOL course in PLATO was excellent . The whole course was clear and interesting and well thought out. It was full of useful class-based activities which I will always refer to when I start teaching. The course’s structure and content was better than I had imagined. I was impressed by the practical methods those teachers use in a TESOL class, and also the structured approach to the course was easy to follow. I learned a lot about motivating students in a classroom, building their confidence, and supporting their language learning process. I gained an understanding of language acquisition and how the second language learning differs from learning one’s native tongue. A big thank for the staff for their encouragement and support in completing the course!

I feel I must let everyone know how successful my experience has been with the Plato Institute. First of all the summer courses are excellent and presented in a professional and friendly manner. It’s a great way to have fun and holiday in the sun while learning English. The Superminds for Kids is an excellent programme, fun and very educational. Lots of happy faces while they are learning. The food is delicious and the accommodation very comfortable, well situated in central Limmasol. There are many rich activity programmes to be enjoyed. Very highly recommended.

I lived in the “Plato house”, a very comfortable place, with kitchen, bedrooms, and all the comforts! But the real added value it’s the Plato’s people, that makes you feel in family!

My apartment is nice, it’s a big place and it’s clean, for me it’s okay. In my room there is air condition and I have a big balcony. The kitchen is nice. The course is very good, in the first week I was with 2 other students and the next week I had private lessons. The teachers were very good, and the material they gave me was very good. I enjoyed my holiday in Cyprus, it’s a beautiful place and I visited the cities, I like the cities. The beaches are very beautiful and the sea is very beautiful.
