Country of origin Saudi Arabia
"The School was recommended to me by my uncle because it has good teachers and a good study atmosphere. All the staff are helpful and you feel that you are in safe hands.My English has really improved here and I hope to do well in the FCE and IELTS exams. My plan is to go to university in England."
