9 weeks at Kurus English

My experience at Kurus has been very fruitful considering my initial expectations. The quality of the teachers is high, the school is reliable. I stayed at the school 9 weeks and I've been able to improve my English in a very conducive learning environment thanks to the Kurus Team. The language excursions are a great complement to the language sessions themselves. If you're looking for a school to learn English in Cape Town, think about Kurus English!

2 weeks in Cape Town / at Kurus English

I highly recommend this language school! There are a lot of reasons, e.g. the teachers who really show their interest in helping and improving the students, which I really appreciate. And, which is also an important point - Kurus English does not only do English lessons inside but also "lessons" outside the classroom. We did a lot of amazing excursions where we were able to get to know the culture, the history and the people living here - and, of course - use the language.
I definitely would come back here and also recommend it to my friends.
Thank you for all these wonderful experiences!

Great school to learn properly English

I can really recommend this school with their super-cool way of teaching. This school focuses also on the culture of South Africa by combining interesting and new schooling techniques and offering language excursions in the afternoon, for example visiting a township, a drum workshop or a food tasting of typical South African taste.

Amazing time in Cape Town

During my two weeks stay at KURUS in Cape Town i had an amazing time. The family environment in the little school is wonderful. After ten minutes time in the school the ice is broken and you chat to everybody as you know each other for decades. The teacher, Gavin, is a lovely person who provides you all the time with information to improve all your english skills as well as your knowledge of South African history, culture and habits. Time flys when he is teaching you!
To be honest, i was deeply impressed and i can recommend this school to everybody who is interessted in adult education.
Thx a lot to KURUS

Kurus English is a wonderful school for learning english. The teachers are great. They motivate you to speak english.
The connection with Coffeebean Routes is a really good idea. I learned a lot at the language excursions. About Cape Town and the people around.
I've been at Kurus English for two weeks. These two weeks were enough to fell in love with Cape Town. I'd like to go back any time.
Best wishes from Germany.

Have you had fun at school? To improve English and have a great time, go and visit KURUS. The have got ambitious teachers who not only know about grammar and vocabluary but are interesting to talk to. What would you like more? Diana und Johannes really take care for a perfect organisation, so you don´t have to bother with looking for accomodation, transfer to airport and things like this. Instead you can find out more about a very vivid and beautiful city, Cape Town really is. Full of ideas, challenges, innovation, music, fashion. COFFEBEANS ROUTES will show you during the language excursions in the afternoon. I left a suitcase there. There is always a reason to improve English :-)

I stayed here for one week at this marvellous English school. I benefited a lot during the intensive lessons taught by a most competent teacher. The afternoon classes took place somewhere in town. I got to know lots about history and culturel knowledge. I had the opportunity to meet people in the suburbs, what impressed me deeply. I recommend Kurus to people at any age. Katy

Kurus is a nice and small school, this is very good for the teaching so the teachers are able to notice your arrows very fast and you make a big progress in the time you are there.
I stayed two weeks at KURUS and there were only one more student in the class that was very good for the learning progress.

The Staff at school was always very friendly and have helped me with every question.

So if you are looking for a nice and small school where you are learning a lot,

GO TO KURUS.

My time in Cape Town is over!
I was staying at Kurus English for 2 weeks. I had a really great time here, because I was feeling an exceptional friendly atmosphere and had highly competent teachers, especially Gavin!

A daily highlight were also the language excursions guided by Iain! I am so happy to have learned both English and a lot about Cape Town - its history, all the news in the present and the challenges in the future.

Yes, Cape Town is a worth living town. I am going to come back with my wife in 2012!!!
Thanks for all!
Erich

Hi,
Learn a new language always is a challenge but when you find the correct place and people who wants to help you, the challenge becomes in a amazing adventure. I studied at Kurus English School in Cape Town and I really enjoyed the private lessons and languages excursions as a nice adventure. The teaching system in this school helped me to improve my language skills. Grammar lessons and all the teaching strategies gave me the opportunity to practice the language in a real context.

All the details in the School made me feel comfortable: the design based on colors, the service, classrooms and the beautiful view of Table Mountain through the windows. But the best thing and the most important in this School is its People. They are a great Team.

I also want to say that Cape Town is a magical city and perfect if you want to learn English. I found a lot of fun in winter visiting restaurants, concerts and festivals; all the cultural life in the city is interesting. Spring is special for walking in the gardens like Kirstenbosh, visiting Winelands is amazing and whales in Hermanus are the best part. Summer is fantastic!!! Many beaches to enjoy, boat trips and surf.

Thanks Kurus for this wonderful experience!!!

Hello,

I had the pleasure of attending the "Kurus English School" for two weeks and it was just awesome! From my point of view the learning concept ist really outstanding - in the mornings classroom lessons and in the afternoon (my highlight) language excursions. That's definitely not only the trivial way of learning but it combines learning English with getting to know the culture, the people, the ways of living etc.

Moreover the premises are really nice, the teachers are over-average capable and I always looked forward to the next day.

I also want to mention that Cape Town is a really amazing city in general but especially for learning English. Improving the language skills by visiting the Table Mountain, having a fantastic dinner with live music or going on Shark Cage Diving is simply great!!

I want to thank the entire Kurus team and Coffeebean-Routes for its work, all efforts and all experiences! You are doing a brilliant job - keep going!!
Patrick

Hello,
after my return last week I want to say many thanks to kurus.

I had 2 weeks the program „Opportunity 2: Language Culture Discovery + Private“. This combination was perfect. In the afternoon-trips I had seen many of Cape Town, the surroundings and the people. Cape Town is a beautiful city, especially at summer. Thanks also to my teacher Jessica, I've learned a lot and it was funny.

My accommodation (organized from kurus) was also nice. I was very warmly received. Almost every evening, friends came for dinner or just to talk. The braai on the weekend was great.

Thank's to the whole team, also to coffeebean-routes

Hi everybody,
after two weeks englishschool I've to say it was a fantastic time at Kurus English.
I had general lessons in the morning, privat lessons on each Monday & Friday and on the other days in the afternoon the chance to take part at the laguage excoursions. The concept of "Kurus English" is realy convincing and the english teachers are definitly the best!

Cape Town as a city is amazing and the best environment for english training I can imagine. Here you find the right mixture of fun, leisure, adventure, sightseeing ... the people are friendly and open minded so its very easy to find friends...

My special thanks are going to my english teachers Jess for the great morning lessons and Gevin for the afternoon private lessons.

Thanks to the Kurus Team for this wonderful time!!
René

Hey,

I had a 2 weeks general english course (without the afternoon excursions) and I must say, I had a great time at Kurus English! I had the best teacher I can imagine and even though my level was quite good, he managed to still enhance it. Beside the fact that I´ve learned a lot (with only 2 other students in my class), the atmosphere was always very intimate, I´ve been introduced to everybody and there was always somebody to help me whenever I needed assistance.

Cape Town is a beautiful and most amazing city, where it is real fun to learn english! What I personally enjoyed was that you can actually see and experience the history, there are the sea, the mountains and a bunch of activities to do...my idea of Africa dramatically changed since I´ve been there and I warmly recommend this experience to anyone who doesn´t want to do the always same USA or UK experiences.
Cheers, Jessica

Hello everybody,
I also had a great time in Cape Town. My language improved a lot. The English lessons were well organized and I experienced that learning a language can be easier if you combine lessons with excursions. See and experience a different culture, learn more about the people and the country of South Africa... all was just amazing and I had a lot of fun with the whole team!! Thank you Kurus!!!
