“I arrived at CEC, and without a doubt, I can say that it is the best English school I have ever been to. The administration is extraordinary and any problem that I have had they have been supporting me and giving me solutions. The teachers interact with us in such a way that on many occasions you don‘t even realize how easy it is to learn English. They are small groups of different nationalities, which is a plus for only speaking English“
