Apprendre l’anglais à St Julian’s
avec ESE

It was a lovely learning experience, I met people from many different countries which helped me out to practice my English skills even more. The best English School in Malta 😊

A really cool camp! I really liked it. The teachers are very responsive, if anything happens, they will always help. It's a lot more fun, and if you need anything, they will help. It's the best school I've ever been to!

I recently completed the IELTS preparation course at ESE Malta and I am very satisfied with the experience. The course was well structured, the teachers were knowledgeable and supportive, and I found the lessons extremely helpful in improving my English skills and preparing for the IELTS exam. I would like to thank the entire ESE team for their professionalism and support. I highly recommend ESE Malta to anyone looking for high-quality English language and IELTS preparation courses ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The school offers a nice opportunity to refresh your English and get more speaking practice.
My teachers were very kind and helpful.
📍However, the organization and execution leave a lot to be desired.
Many students do not seem to take rules or procedures seriously, which disrupts the lessons.
Tardiness is often tolerated, and waiting for late participants is not understandable. A more consistent approach to punctuality should be implemented.
The rooms are far too small for the number of people, and ventilation during lessons is insufficient. It gives the impression that a large number of students are being managed with as few teachers as possible. Especially considering that teachers here do not seem to be particularly well paid, this is even more unfortunate. In addition, some students attend classes despite being sick, making infections almost unavoidable—particularly stressful and unnecessary when you are abroad as a student.
Hygiene and facilities could be improved: for example, the toilet had no toilet paper on two days.
Ongoing construction work in the building caused unpleasant noise.
🍺The attitude toward alcohol seems very normalized: it appears to be a standard topic of conversation to consume alcohol. Gambling or working in gambling-related businesses to earn good money is almost promoted. This is alarming when considering that young people may not yet have the maturity to make healthy judgments and may be tempted by seemingly quick paths to wealth without being aware of the risks.
In addition, from conversations with different students, I know that basic house rules—especially in accommodations (e.g. visiting hours and overnight stays)—are not consistently enforced. While violations could theoretically be reported, there seems to be a reluctance among students to actually do so. The fact that such situations are therefore effectively tolerated is not acceptable, especially given the responsibility toward some underage students and the trust of parents. Clear supervision and consistent enforcement of rules are needed here.
Overall, stricter enforcement of rules and clear, binding communication of behavioral standards—especially for younger participants—are necessary.
📌Overall, it was a nice experience, but next time I would prefer a better-organized school—one that is punctual, hygienic, structured, and consistent in enforcing rules.
Ultimately, you pay for this service and therefore expect a certain level of quality that matches the price.

The European School of English (ESE) is a fantastic institution. As part of the Quality English family, it consistently ensures high quality for students and partners around the world. We are very proud to have them in our association.
