FL Testimonials
I’m very happy to be here studying with Future Learning Ireland because I really wanted to come to an English speaking country where I can study the many aspects of the culture. I’m here to learn about the methodology that teachers use so that I can share it with my own students back at home.

I’m enjoying my stay here very much and I think it’s a great school because it helps prepare us for teaching students using modern methods, which I appreciate very much. It also gives us the opportunity to speak with other teachers and learners about the methodology we use at home and how we can improve our practices. I was also able to listen and learn from native English speakers which has made this an even better experience.

I wanted to improve my English and I thought it might be good to do it with a bit more technology, so Future Learning is a good place to connect both. I'm a teacher, so I'm always looking for new methods to teach, so I learned a lot about online gaming, things like Kahoot or Wordle just to get some fresh air into lessons. I’m improving my English by talking a lot to other students and in my class, we’re discussing a lot. What I looked for (in a course) I got it. In Dublin, I like the people they're very open, very friendly, and it’s an old city but also a very new city so you can easily find everything to ask everybody.

When I was looking for a school, the FL methods were the most attractive. I came here to consolidate my knowledge and gain new skills, some of the methods are totally new to me, and some of them that are not new to me, I can see how they can be used in different ways. It gives me opportunity to explore the capital city, and I feel really comfortable here. It is a very friendly school with helpful staff and innovative methods of working with students.
