For three months I had the good fortune and great pleasure
to learn English at the International House language school in Sydney, Australia. It was a very nice time and everything was
very well organized. I learned a lot and the teachers were really very competent and helpful. The atmosphere in the class was fantastic – we helped each other and it was so interesting to
hear the viewpoints of classmates from different cultures.
If someone wants to learn quickly and with joy:
I 100% recommend the International Houses in Sydney!

My time at International House Sydney was unfortunately marred by consistently poor management and abysmal communication from the administration to the students. Despite the dedication and competence of the teachers, the overall experience was severely impacted by the school’s inefficiencies.
From the outset, communication channels were unclear and responses to inquiries were often delayed or non-existent. Important information regarding schedules, curriculum changes, and administrative procedures was frequently disseminated with little notice or explanation, causing confusion and frustration among students.
Furthermore, administrative staff seemed disorganized and indifferent to the concerns of students.
While the teaching staff exhibited professionalism and expertise in their respective fields, their efforts were overshadowed by the systemic shortcomings of the school’s management. It’s regrettable that such talented educators are hindered by an administration that fails to support them adequately.
In conclusion, based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend International House Sydney to anyone seeking a reliable and well-managed language learning institution. Despite the competence of the teachers, the school’s chronic mismanagement and poor communication severely undermine the quality of the educational experience.
The best school you can choose and the director (Natalie) is the best, she is always there to help you with her great team
I’m having a frustrating experience at IH, especially considering that I’m taking a preparatory course for the Cambridge exam but, in practice, I don’t have classes and test preparation. The lack of preparation for the test and the ineffective teaching methods I’ve encountered are concerning. Additionally, it’s disappointing to know that the school’s administration seems to prioritize profit over educational quality and that my concerns have been ignored.

Furthermore, inadequate physical facilities, such as overcrowded classrooms and poor ventilation, contribute to my overall dissatisfaction with the institution. It’s understandable that I would recommend looking elsewhere for a more conducive and effective learning environment with a team that truly addresses students’ problems. #Student your time is precious.

My experience at IH has been extremely frustrating and unproductive, especially considering I’m taking a preparatory course for the Cambridge exam. Unfortunately, I don’t feel prepared for the test at all. Most of the teachers are not qualified to teach effectively, and many seem to neglect the practice of exercises and detailed explanations of correct answers.

My experience at IH has been quite disappointing. While the school is promoted as a high-standard institution on social media, the reality is quite different. While they have some competent teachers, it’s a matter of luck to end up in one of their classrooms, as many instructors are clearly unqualified.

Furthermore, the school’s administration seems more focused on profit than ensuring educational quality. When I tried to voice my concerns, I was completely ignored, reinforcing the impression that the school’s financial interests outweigh the educational needs of the students.

Adding another point, the physical structure of the school leaves much to be desired. They showcase the George Street building brilliantly, but the reality is that you’ll likely be placed in the Clarence Street building, where you’ll find overcrowded classrooms beyond their capacity, no windows, and a lack of adequate ventilation due to the absence of air conditioning in the rooms.

If you’re looking for a school where you can truly learn and develop, I recommend looking elsewhere. ILSC, for example, has received excellent reviews and seems to be a much more sensible choice for those who value quality education. In summary, my experience with IH has been a major disappointment, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to others.
