RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PREVIOUS STUDENTS:
Katharina Schröder:
I'm very happy I did this wonderful course.
Luciano Bianchi :
I spent two beautiful weeks in Lewes and appreciated the APTE teachers' ability and kindness. The town is lovely and is also quite close and well connected to London and Brighton by train.
I strongly recommend APTE to anybody interested in learning English in a fast and intensive way.
Hans Hesse, Managing Director:
After my return from England I would like to say thank you very much for the interesting and successful week in Lewes. Although it is said one week normally is not enought to get good results, I can confirm with pleasure that your and your colleague's teaching system gave me the satisfaction I looked for when I first contacted your school.
The private and relaxed atmosphere during all times left me with the impression that it was not a regular school, which is quite important for students who are middle aged. And of course the nice little town of Lewes completed the positive thoughts of my stay.
I will recommend APTE without any reservations.
Many thanks!

Dear Judith and Pam,
I thank you sincerely for teaching me not only the English language but also the English lifestyle. During my stay in England I met interesting people and visited beautiful places.
My English has improved a lot and now I haven't any problems speaking. Thank you for your patience.
Sandra Strohmeier:
I enjoyed my stay in Lewes all the time. I can tell you that I spoke to many customers on the telephone in the last weeks and I think that my English lessons were effective.
Akila and Aurore Pyveteau:
Chère Judith, Félicitations pour vos cours d'anglais! Ce fut un grand plaisir d'étudier l'anglais avec vous.
Dr Michael Platz of Mannheim:
A very interesting course, exactly tailored to my needs, it saved me a lot of time, Thanks a lot to Judith and Pam once more.
Thomas Zentrich, a Business Studies student:
In 2006 I came to England for one month to study Business English with APTE. The course was an important step in my life to learn English and to get more self-confidence.
The whole time was very well-organized. Ms Land and Sean O'Kane took great pains to teach me English in a relaxed atmosphere. My host family and the people of Lewes were also very kind and friendly. After this course I passed my exam in Business English.
It was a great time for me and I want to say thanks to Judith and Sean. I wish you all the best and I hope we see each other again!

I am a Chinese national who lives in Sweden. Because of my position at work, I needed to improve both my spoken and written English. I did a lot of searching on the internet and found APTE. During my three week intensive course with my teachers, Judith and Pam, I learned a lot. Because I had an important business trip to the USA two months after my course, my teachers arranged a programme to meet my needs. It was a great help.
My presentations (in the USA) were successful and I spoke calmly and slowly without notes. They liked me and thought it was very informative. I really want to say thank you to you and Pam.

Ms Land and her teachers were very well-organized from my arrival to my departure. They taught me a high level of English with patience and empathy in a relaxed atmosphere. And the inhabitants of Lewes were also very helpful and polite to me.
Thanks to Judith and Sean, I enjoyed every single moment. Good luck for your future, I'll never forget you.

With my great thanks to you, Judith and Pam, I am now recalling my precious experience at APTE in Lewes. It was quite lucky for me that I could find APTE and have the ten-day course in May, which was really unforgettable. Although I had to travel for over twelve hours in order to join the course from Japan, it was really worth doing that. I really appreciate, in addition to your kind acceptance of my request for a course of an unusual length, your hospitality and sincere support for me, not only to improve my English, but also to enjoy after-school activities during the entire period of the course. Besides, Lewes is a lovely, peaceful town with a lot of history and the people of Lewes are very kind and helpful. I strongly recommend APTE as an ideal English school.

In summer 2007 I came to Lewes for two weeks to take an intensive English course with APTE. Although I often use English in my work as an auditor and tax advisor, I needed above all to improve my spoken English. I had three different teachers - Judith, Pam and Sean - which was very helpful because that way you are provided with a wider range of teaching styles, vocabulary and the like. It was really a great time and I enjoyed every minute of my stay with them. They were all very patient and committed to quality. This course definitely helped me a lot and I can strongly recommend APTE courses without any hesitation to others.

I would like to thank you for the nice time and all the great arrangements I had with you and also with Jilly and Pam.
I'm glad I decided on APTE and Lewes - one to one English is definitely the best way to learn and improve your English
Natalie Werner, February 2008.
Ich möchte mich nochmal bei Dir bedanken für den guten Unterricht. Ich habe festgestellt, dass das Tempo des Unterrichts jeweils meinem Lerntempo oder Fleiss angepasst wurde und die Themen doch auch lebensnah und persönlich angepasst bzw. flexibel eingebaut wurden. Im weiteren bin ich dankbar, dass ich in Lewes auch menschliche und persönliche Kontakte knüpfen durfte.
Viele Grüsse aus Basel und der Schweiz, Christoph Lachenmeier.
