EF Education First - الدراسة و السفر بالخارج

I had a great time at EF School in Dubai. Studying here gave me the opportunity to improve my English while discovering a country that is truly on another level in terms of development, culture, and vision for the future. My teacher Shristi was excellent. She is a very supportive teacher with a student-centered approach.

I had an incredibly productive and valuable learning experience at EF Dubai. However, during my stay we experienced a war situation and missile warnings in the region. Despite these difficult circumstances, the education continued in the best possible way. The EF team was extremely professional and supportive, immediately informing students, guiding us to safe areas, and making sure everyone was safe and calm. Their care, organization, and dedication made a huge difference for all of us. I’m truly grateful for their support and for the amazing education I received. I would especially like to thank the school director Gamze Toraman, my valuable teachers Shahram Mansouri, Mahsa Golmohamad, and Sanaz, and the wonderful team who guided us in discovering amazing Dubai and were always there for us: Aimen Benaissa, Riena Bergancia, Marcelo Casanova, and Altug Buz.

I traveled with EF to Dubai and honestly, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I met friends from all around the world, and every day I learned something new—not only about the language but also about different cultures. My language skills improved so much, especially by practicing with native speakers and in real-life situations. The EF team supported me throughout the entire process, from signing up at the office to coming back home. Everything was organized, safe, and incredibly exciting. I truly recommend EF to anyone who wants to grow, explore, and live something unforgettable.

During the recent missile alerts in Dubai, the team was very professional and took great care of all the students. They kept us informed and made sure everyone stayed safe. I really appreciated their support.

I am currently doing a 6-month language stay with EF in Dubai, and my experience so far has been absolutely amazing. After three months here, I can honestly say that everything is going very well. From the moment I arrived, the organization has been excellent and the atmosphere at the school is welcoming, supportive, and very motivating. The classes are dynamic, interactive, and help us build confidence in speaking English every day. What I especially appreciate is the international environment. Meeting students from all over the world makes the learning experience even more enriching and exciting. I would especially like to highlight one of the teachers, Mr. Shahram. He is an exceptional professor: very professional, patient, and truly passionate about teaching. His classes are always engaging, clear, and motivating. He encourages everyone to participate and creates a very positive learning atmosphere. Thanks to him, improving my English feels natural and enjoyable. Studying with EF in Dubai is not only about learning a language, it is also about living an incredible international and cultural experience. I am very happy to be part of this program and I highly recommend EF Dubai to anyone who wants to improve their English while discovering an amazing city.

I came to this school to improve my English and stayed in Dubai from February 14 until yesterday. Overall it was a very good experience and I’m happy I chose this school. During our stay the war started, and at first many of us were worried because the news made the situation sound very dramatic. But in reality Dubai stayed calm and safe the whole time. What really impressed me was the EF Dubai team. In this situation they showed how strong and professional they are. They stayed calm, kept the students informed and made sure everyone felt safe and supported. Someone from the team was always available if we had questions or needed help. They really took care of the students and checked regularly that everything was okay. Because of that we felt safe during the whole stay. This situation showed clearly that the EF Dubai team is very strong and responsible. They handled everything very well and proved that they know how to take care of their students even in difficult moments. For me it was a great experience to improve my English and I’m grateful for the support and care from the whole team.

Dubai EF okulundan 3 aylık dil eğitimi aldım. Herşey istediğim gibi geçti. Beklentimin üstünde oldu diyebilirim.

During my 8-month language education process in Dubai, I experienced problems. Although it was clearly stated during registration that students would not be accommodated with others who speak the same language, I stayed in the same apartment with three Turkish students for two weeks. This situation seriously negatively affected my main purpose of going abroad, which was to practice English. Additionally, I stayed with EF staff for two weeks. I do not understand how a staff member and a student can stay in the same apartment building. During the accommodation process, my room was visited at night without my permission, which is an unacceptable situation. When I reported this issue, I was told that it was “normal.” Entering a private living space without permission is in no way normal. In the academic process, although I completed the A1 level, I had to continue at the same level because an A2 class was not opened. This situation prevented my academic progress and reduced my motivation. Furthermore, transferring students to a higher level without any exam during level transitions is a serious deficiency in terms of assessment and evaluation. In addition, the printed course books that we paid for were not provided to us, and the education was mostly conducted through an electronic book. Not providing the paid materials is unacceptable. I request that these issues be clarified and that the necessary actions be taken. Most of the comments here are written by students at the request of the staff. (I was offered this three times.)

Modern teaching methods, a supportive environment, and a real UK-standard approach to education. It genuinely feels like a second home.

Due settimane di corso intensivo, tutto nelle aspettative. Conosco EFda oltre trent’anni e mantiene nel tempo un ottimo livello. Eccellente didattica buona organizzazione per tutto il resto. Dubai è una realtà che vale la pena conoscere in totale sicurezza. Una bella esperienza

Étudier à EF Dubaï a été une expérience mémorable. L’école se distingue par son cadre moderne, ses professeurs dynamiques et son ambiance internationale qui favorise la pratique de l’anglais au quotidien. La diversité des étudiants venus du monde entier crée un environnement culturel enrichissant et stimulant. J'engarde toujours le contacte avec quelques étudiants qui sont maintenant des amis. Cette immersion m'a permis de gagner en confiance pour parler en anglais. Je recommande vivement EF Dubaï à tous ceux qui souhaitent allier apprentissage linguistique et expérience internationale inoubliable.

I took a General English course at EF School. Classes are small, 6-8 students, and each student receives the necessary attention from the teachers. Learning is often done in a playful way, and lessons are very fun. There are classes for мid-twenties students, as well as for middle-aged and older students. I started speaking English within a month of starting the course. Accommodations are excellent at the Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights Hotel Suites And Apartments, which is just a 15-minute walk from the school. Manager Riana is always attentive to students' accommodations and learning needs. I am very pleased with the quality of education at EF Education First.

I am finishing my studies at EF Dubai. The support they have given us has been really good. They have tried to create activities so that we can feel better during this difficult situation that is happening around the world and that is directly affecting the UAE.

It was the first time with EF and really enjoyed it . Some lesson were more difficult that others , some easier , but I think that I improved my capacity to speak English .

I have an extraordinary experience here. Especially with the group of teachers and residence advidors people. Like reina and aimen and marcelo. They're great and helpful

They helped us in every way during the difficult situation we found ourselves in. They worked hard to keep us going, both academically and psychologically, and they are still working hard. We would like to thank Mr. Shahram, Ms. Gamze, Ms. Masha, Mr. Altuğ, and all the other staff at EF Dubai.

日本人です！ドバイでの経験は最高の糧になりました。世界中から生徒が集まるので色んな国の文化を知ることができ、スタッフ、先生、ホテルとどれをとっても一流でした。またこちらにお世話になりたいです😊

Le campus EF de Dubaï offre une très bonne expérience d’apprentissage de l'anglais. Tout le personnel est professionnel, notamment Riena, la Residence Advisor, qui a parfaitement géré l’accueil, l’intégration et la cohésion des étudiants. Sans elle, le séjour aurait été beaucoup moins amusant.

Riena is so helpful and she's very supportive with the students, and also Gamze and Andy the School directors are very nice, kind and all the staff is there to help the students during their lessons and the accommodation.

I spent three weeks at EF Dubai. The education was excellent and the family atmosphere was very welcoming. The teachers were very good, and Aimen organized fantastic activities ! He is the best !
