"The English Course in the Alpha School involved me and increased my knowledge – I attended it with pleasure. I’m learning English because it’s important for my job – it’s very important for the purchasing part of my job. I meet with many European and Chinese suppliers. English is the first language in the world. If you don’t speak English in the business world, then you are out of touch and at a big disadvantage. My children are learning English at school and they also have a private tutor. It’s also important for them to learn the English language and other skills for their future. They will then be able to move around the world. They’ll also increase their knowledge and employment possibilities. I chose Malta as the winter is nice here. I talked with my private tutor in Italy about which school to choose in Malta. She had a student who had been to Alpha School and said it was a good school. My tutor recommends Alpha School to all of her students. She was very positive about all aspects of Alpha School. She recommended that I should stay with a host family as she had heard very good things about them. In my opinion, it’s a good school. There is very good organization – everything was ready. The taxi was at the airport and the driver was very friendly - he spoke to me about Malta and its history, and the things to see. The family is nice. The level of teaching is very good – my teacher is Matthew. He analysed all of my work in detail. He commented on my work. He gave me writing work, and extra homework, and then went through everything step by step – this helped me a lot. I would come back to Alpha School – next time in the spring or summer."   Mario Priori, from Italy
