No consistency
The class is too short and there is no consistency with the change of tutors for each class.

The English classes are not well organised
There are just thematic classes and I was expecting them to be more focused on grammar and theory. Seems that you have to catch everything from the occasional teacher's explanations. Also it is better to have access to the materials even after we close the subscription.

Dear Bogdan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the classes did not meet your expectations.
Our courses are designed around a thematic and communicative approach, focusing on practical language use and real-world scenarios to help build fluency and confidence in speaking. Grammar and theory are integrated within these themes and are often addressed through pre- and post-class activities rather than being the sole focus during live classes. This approach allows students to practice and apply language skills in context, while also benefiting from teacher explanations and feedback during class.
Regarding access to materials after your subscription ends, you will be still able to access your account. Your feedback on this is valuable, and we’ll take it into consideration as we continue to improve our service.
If you have any questions or need further support, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards,

B1 Intensive course (Step Ukraine)
I’m incredibly grateful to the British Council and our teacher Nataliya Pona, who has been teaching us B1 intensive for 10 weeks. If I’m honest, at the time we started this course, I couldn’t imagine when I could find the time to do pre-class activities and where I had the energy to attend lessons every evening. But we are lucky because Nataliya teaches us… Our lessons are so interesting that they start and finish in the blink of an eye. Thank you, Nataliya, for all the kind words that were said to me increasing my confidence. I started speaking English without being afraid of making mistakes. Thank you for the study techniques that I will remember as I improve my English. Thank you for the repeated corrections that you patiently make every day, explaining again and again. Thank you for persuading us to learn what we considered unnecessary… “You may not need it now, but you never know when you might need it”, Nataliya patiently repeated. Over these 2 months, Nataliya has become like a family member to me. There are only 2 lessons left and I'm already sad.
I’ll miss you, Nataliya and I’ll come back to British Council.
Regards, your Ukrainian student Liudmyla Tverdokhlib

We are so happy to hear about your positive experience with the B1 intensive course and your teacher, Nataliya. It's wonderful to know that you found the lessons engaging and that Nataliya's teaching style helped you to feel more confident in your English speaking abilities.
We understand that you were initially concerned about finding the time and energy to commit to the course, but it's fantastic that you were able to overcome those challenges and have such a rewarding experience. We appreciate your kind words about Nataliya's dedication and patience, and we are happy that she has made such a positive impact on your learning journey.
We wish you all the best in your continued English language studies and hope to see you back at the British Council soon.
