The English Center | Amsterdam Reviews 

A professional and dedicated English teacher whose background aligned with my learning goals, her insightful lessons sparked my curiosity to use English as a powerful communication tool, and I can already see the positive impact on my career.

I wanted to improve my English. My teacher was a very calm person. She understood me very well, which meant we discussed many different topics every time. Because of that, it was engaging every time. She really motivated me to work on it outside of class. I enjoyed every lesson.

Taylor is a wonderful coach with a holistic approach to her teaching methodology that makes each class unique and engaging.
She is also very practical in her choice of exercises, ensuring that lessons are well complemented by real-world, day-to-day application. This in no way detracts from her professionalism — she is highly knowledgeable and demonstrates a commendable ability to contextualise concepts effectively.
Overall, it has been an excellent experience and I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking to develop their business English skills.

I took a course at The English Center in my capacity as a business owner who spends a lot of time in international meetings. Often online, with participants joining from very different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. It has made a real difference in how I show up professionally.

The course helped me feel at ease in the full range of roles I take on: leading a meeting, facilitating a conversation between others, or simply being one of several voices in the discussion. That last part mattered more than I had expected. Being able to follow, respond to, and engage naturally with participants whose accents and ways of speaking are all different from one another has made me noticeably more present and effective in those settings.

The teaching is thoughtful, practical, and clearly grounded in the realities of international business communication. A warm recommendation to anyone in a similar position.

The course was customized specifically to my goals and needs.
The staff was very nice and helpful, and I have learned a lot from them.
It was a great experience, thank you very much!

Really enjoyed that tailored course. Very useful

I really enjoyed the classes, my teacher made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly. It was very helpful.

The organization: Well structured advise based on my needs, smooth onboarding, flexibility in course set-up (E.g. Preferred location, frequency). Clear messaging.
The teachers: Tina and Marijke are two very experienced teachers. They are good listeners and very creative in incorporating your needs and personal or business context in their lessons. They are friendly, fun and professional.

Perfect! Both Helena and Steph are very good teachers, they tailored the lessons to my needs. I would recommend them both.

The English Center planned the lessons on a very short notice.

I wanted to improve my American accent. I didn't think I would find a training institute that would take this request seriously. But the English Center does. I had a great teacher. He was always well-prepared and made a real effort to find the right podcast, video or text for me to practice my accent. I learned something new during each session.

It was a pleasure to work with Eva. She taught me more than just English, she gave me confidence to speak and to believe in myself.

Highly experienced teachers who operate in a customer- and market-specific manner. It's great to see how they tailor their approach to each individual. What struck me personally was the open and relaxed atmosphere of the lessons, where there were no barriers whatsoever.

Useful phrases, good practice of conversation　through role-playing, expert trainer

This experience was super helpful for me. The content was tailored to my own needs, which made the process much more effective. I can really feel the difference in my confidence! Thank you!

I had a great trainer who quickly adjusted for my needs, improvement areas and specific business context

The lessons were great, very good teacher, everything clear and fast, excellent explanations.

I took the English Accent Reduction course and I was very satisfied. With the school, with the organization, with communication, with the lector, and my visible progress too.

I had an excellent experience with The English Center for pronunciation training, especially as a speaker from Eastern Europe. Brenda was absolutely wonderful — she has a wealth of experience and provided me with personalized, practical tips that really helped refine my already advanced English pronunciation. Her customized approach made the training both engaging and effective. Highly recommended!

I found the lessons very helpful and enjoyable. The content and materials were personalised and adapted to my needs. The teacher was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging, which made it easier to try new things. My skills and confidence have improved significantly.

Before my daughter entered an international school, she learned so much at the English Center. Teachers were very friendly and always tailored the lessons carefully to her level. the amount of homework given each time was just right and really helped with reviewing what she had learned in class. We are truly grateful for all the support. I highly recommend the English Center.
