What our students say:
- It was very nice and useful to have an English course at Tayside Language Centre. I liked your method. You gave not much homework and therefore learning was pleasant and not too hard, but effective.
It was very interesting to talk to several tutors, to discuss different subjects.
I know a lot about traditions and life in Scotland and the UK. And I hope you know some more about Russia from me.
Thanks to you I believe I know English quite well! Thank you very much! (Polina from Russia, June 10)
- Can I just say that we really enjoyed the classes which proved very useful. Furthermore, can I also say that we really appreciated your friendliness, patience and sense of humour. I think you needed it, if only for teaching us. I'd have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who asked. (Group from French for businesses, October 2009)
- I found the tailor-made Business English course extremely useful for my needs. I'm sure it will help me to improve my business communication in my job. The teacher was really professional, proactive, prepared a lot of appropriate materials and made the lessons exciting and interesting. The environment was really friendly and I felt very confident and at ease. (Patrizia, July 2009)
- The teacher is very encouraging and enthusiastic and makes the course interesting. Grammar is also explained well. (student of Italian explorer class, June 09)
- Informal but structured, makes you feel comfortable and the teacher encouraged me to ask questions. (student of Japanese discovery class, June 09)
- I have been a student at Tayside Language Centre for some time now. I study Dutch, 1 to 1, and I cannot express enough how much I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy these classes. The speed at which my Dutch language skills have improved continues to amaze me and the encouragement I have received has led to my successful application to Dundee University’s summer access school. The staff are friendly, helpful and a pleasure to be around, as are all the teachers there. Testament to my getting much out of my classes at Tayside Language Centre is the fact that I am now also taking a French discovery class!

She is a very good teacher – she explains the language really well and has the gift of making learning interesting and enjoyable as well as good fun! She is also positive and supportive and really encourages you to make progress. Added to this, Joyce is a warm, friendly person with a great sense of humour and the lessons go by all too quickly. I would recommend her with confidence as a language tutor." (Dutch 1-to-1, October 08)
