“I’m so happy that I made the choice to study at “It’s Cool Idiomas”. I have learned so much since I first started and I enjoy coming to class everyday. The teachers and staff are very welcoming, friendly, and professional.”
“My name is Guilherme and I currently live in Miami. My son Luca Vega Romanholi is a student at It’s Cool and today I was very impressed with his evolution. We did a facetime of approximately 10 minutes in English and to my surprise, he is speaking fluently. Today I can say, I am very satisfied with the English school that we have chosen for him.
Thank you so much to everyone here at It’s Cool, what a great team ! I’ve learned a new language very quickly through effective methods. The teachers are very patient and do their best to help us improve. Fanny Raffin, França Até logo!
“Sempre fui muito cético com relação aos benefícios de um curso de inglês. Não que o estudo de uma língua estrangeira não fosse importante mas sempre achei que esse tipo de curso
nunca passasse do “verbo to be”, algumas palavras de vocabulário ou do “the book is on the table”.
Quando minhas filhas, à época com 10 e 13 anos, mostraram interesse em fazer um curso como esse fiquei bastante reticente. Procuramos a It´s cool e decidimos fazer uma experiência.
Dois anos depois posso dizer que valeu muito o investimento. Minhas filhas alcançaram um nível de compreensão que está muito além da expectativa. Suas notas de inglês na
escola são excelentes e posso comprovar o aproveitamento delas quando são expostas ao inglês, falado e escrito.Sem dúvida, a It´s cool nos surpreendeu . Recomendo a escola sem medo de errar.”
