“All of my comments have allready been stated in both written/verbal communication with the school's staff and thus remain unchanged. Since I have been noticing more effort regarding the organization within the School lately, the rate I gave is higher than I normally would have given.”
“I’m very happy with the school although the sign-up system/process is a bit difficult to navigate in terms of getting signed into all the courses you want (regardless of whether you sign up early or not). I feel like it would be easier to have students to this themselves that way if they can’t make it they can simply unregistered and other students would have to opportunity to signing up. Also, I think it would be nice to get some “homework” for some selected language level courses instead of only for the echange classes.”
“Die Kurse mit den Lehrern waren sehr abwechslungsreich, interessant und wirklich hilfreich. An dieser Stelle großes Lob an die Lehrer.
Die Lernplatform im Internet ist gut. Allerdings fand ich die Themen und die damit zusammenhängenden Vokabeln nicht gut. Das war teilweise sehr praxisfern. Mich interessiert in erster Linie nicht was bspw. Hummer auf französisch heißt. Hier wären Themen wie "bei der Arbeit", "typische Mailfloskeln", usw.”
“I really like the course. I only will say that sometimes is frustraiting that there is no option to take a class. For example this week there is nothing available”
“I have not moor Time, I can’t now into the school :thinking: but I hope, I can make in the next time one new Programm for French. But, I am positive with the school. Thanks”
“It would be good if the classes could be more varied. I think I have done "faire les courses" 3 times. However, all the staff and teachers are great.”
“The three French teachers at the Fribourg location are all excellent instructors with each having their own strength in teaching. As a group, an outstanding source of learning. The instructors are amicable and the discussions are current and applicable.
Drawback: the schedule is so tight that there is no opportunity to ask a question that would require a 2-3 minute explanation. This is a challenge to avoid developing bad habits that are difficult to change later on.
The Rosetta Stone application became nearly useless as the interface speed was far too slow to be of any benefit. The CG voices were often difficult to discern.
Overall, of all the language schools I have attended, the method worked the best for me and I would recommend others to try your program.”
“Dear SFS Staff. Thank you for valuing your student's feedback. In my experience, I have had a particular professor that was not aligned and understandable of full time professionals schedule and struggles to follow up with all the preparation required by SFS methodology. The professor's lacked patience to explain grammar and correct mistakes, politely.”
“overall very happy with courses offered and progress made but frustrated by difficulty in booking lesson times and workshops/activities given I have limited times when I can study. would prefer for private lessons to be able to express a teacher preference.”
“It would be better if the school developed more personalised teaching methods based on students level.
Making significant changes to the terms of the agreement may not suit everyone. Maybe the student joined because of your terms suite him or her but changing the agreed contract, as you force a student to adapt or leave.
Students with different French level found themselves in the same class.”
“I enrolled to SFS specifically for the unique business model of flexible classes. However there are many issues:
- booking process is very problematic and complex
- different teachers deliver different level of in class experiece
- due to that, gaps in knowledge/topics/vocabulary appear during consolidation. I have personally failed a few classes just because a topic was not taught by another teacher
All in all, I would not continue with SFS if I were able to follow a regular teaching schedule.”
