"It was amazing learning experience ."

It was great. The teachers were extremly nice. The classes were great help with understanding how The IELTS test work and how to prepare for them. We were also given a lot of materials to work with. I lived in the residance near school. It had gratulujem location because there was supermarket near and you could easily get to the center of the city. The housing was nice. I was nicely suprised by the kitchen. What I didnt like was that I had no idea that you need coins for the AC and money for key deposit. It would be good to know beforehand.
Friendly staff and teachers. Location is hard to reach by foot. The school building is a little outdated. The school is more suitable for young people and beginners.
Karl Sammut, Sales and Marketing Director at Gateway School of English GSE responded to this review. 19 October 2023
Thanks for taking the time to review our school. We are located within 12 minutes' walk from Spinola Bay - the main tourist area in St Julian's and a very busy area. Our school's location offers a combination of close proximity to the hustle and bustle of Spinola Bay (nearest beach) but at the same time it's a quiet and peaceful location with large open spaces around ideal for studying.
We do not understand what you mean by the school's building is outdated. The school building is a traditional Maltese building with limestone and it also has modern architectural features and all our classrooms are equipped with the latest classroom technology. We have just installed the latest Interactive Hitachi StarBoard technology in ALL our classrooms so we definitely do not agree with your statement.
We have high level students who choose to study with us at higher levels such as Advanced and Business English students as well as English for Professional purposes mainly medical English, legal English, English for Engineering, Aviation English and other ESP courses.
Thanks again for reviewing our school.
"It was a nice experience."

it is a school which is well located: not very far from saint Julien. the general atmosphere of the courses is pleasant, we study in class by doing rather playful group work. the teachers are friendly and professional.
I spent two weeks in Malta for intensive private courses. I was a little bit disapointed; the school don't have enough classrooms. We had to go in a bar ! Finally, I proposed to the teacher to come in my hotel and it was a good option. When I started, my teacher was sick and I had two differents teachers for the two first day. Unfortunately, they didn't know what I would improve and the courses weren't ready. We found a solution but I lost time... It wasn't really what I've expected. Althought, teachers are good and friendly !
Karl Sammut, Director at Gateway School of English GSE responded to this review. 12 September 2022
That's very surprising as we used to see you enjoying your time at the GSE residence with other students on the patio and you used to thank the GSE staff for the cleanliness. This is a very decieiving review!
"Awful"

The teachers were nice, but the classes were not adapted to my level and to my age. I'm fifteen years old, and was in classes with adults (one of the student was around 70 years old...)
It wasn't fun at all and my English didn't improve.
Karl Sammut, Director at Gateway School of English GSE responded to this review. 29 April 2022
Dear Cleo, thanks for submitting the review. We had initially placed you in Pre-Intermediate based on your placement test result but you found the level too difficult and your mother asked us to move you to a lower level which we did. Our Director of Studies then spoke to you after classes to make sure that you are comfortable in that level and your answer was positive. As you know you only spent a week at our school, 5 days. We had other teenagers in April especially during Easter but we placed you in the adult class to guarantee your level as the other teenagers were of a higher level. We also encouraged you to join activities as we had a lot of activities during that week and this was a great opportunity for you to improve your English with other teens outside the classroom. You never attended the activities for some reason and I think this would have been an opportunity for you to practise English outside the classroom with other teenagers.
"Not reliable"
Maria Grazia Sumerano

Have you ever heard of an English Summer school that places in the same hotel room all guys of the same nationality? (in our case Italians). GSE did it, despite I specifically asked to place my son in a multi-nationality room (and they answered "Of course, we always do it") and despite it's common sense to mix nationalities, in order to push the guys to speak English during their free time as well. They pretended to be surprised in front of my request to move my son in another room (and they pretended not to remember my request and they didn't do it.
Good teachers, but very bad organization with impacts on the quality of the English learning experience.
Karl Sammut, Sales and Marketing Director at GSE at Gateway School of English GSE responded to this review. 07 August 2021
Dear Maria Grazia, thanks for the review. You failed to mention that your son was booked on a summer junior programme and staying at the Topaz Hotel where some of our junior students were staying. It happened to be the case that this year we had a lot of Italian students, unlike the previous years, so the majority of students in the hotel were Italians. The allocation is not entirely the responsibility of the school but the hotel. We can advise the hotel to mix nationalities as much as possible however this is always at the discretion of the hotel (third party accommodation) as this is not the property of the school unlike the GSE residence for adults. As I mentioned previously the majority of the students staying at Topaz were Italians which made it difficult for us to mix nationalities. Then came the sudden closure of schools by the Maltese government which also made it it difficult for other groups to come to Malta and had to cancel their trip. So it was impossible for us to mix your son with other nationalities in a different room.
"Magic, amazing !"

My personal experience at Gateway School was very, very good! I improved my English a lot because the teachers were very patient and kind. the atmosphere in the classroom was very pleasant. For the accommodation I loved sharing my room in the school residence I met a lot of people from different countries! I recommend this school for the French because there are really very few which allow you to speak English every day. it is a wonderful experience to learn English of course but also a magical human experience. Thank you !

I liked the experience, great teachers. I was not at the student residence because I thought it limited my contact with the locals and I was right, that is, if you want to stay away from the school it is quiet, as the city is very accessible and safe.
Some students prefer the ‘homestay solution’ because it enables them to interact more actively with the local culture and ensure total English language immersion. The homestay solution means that you will live in with meticulously selected host families in homes within 5 minutes walking distance from the school. Remember, the School is situated in a high quality neighbourhood!
All families (without exception) hosting our students have been personally known to us for years. The best proof of our students’ satisfaction with these families is the fact that they recommend them to their friends when these come to study here. All our host families are native English speakers. We know them so well that we can match students’ individual preferences with the most suitable family for them.

theschoolresidence1
The school residence staff always strive to provide just the service you need and make your stay at the residence as comfortable as possible. Staff and management alike are there to help you at all times.
Residence Location
Very conveniently, the school is situated within easy walking distance of the island’s most popular tourist resort, nearest beach and top recreational/shopping centre (with plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants): Spinola Bay in the city of St Julian’s, which is only 12 minutes away on foot. In addition, none of Malta’s major cultural and historical places of interest, some of which are recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are more than half an hour away from where our students learn and live. These can all be reached very easily thanks to the easy access to the public transport network, with bus stop ‘Baltiku’ (bus number 120) only 2 minutes away from the school and the residence.
Residence Premises
Adjacent to the school, the school residence provides a clean, comfortable and modern home for those students at GSE who choose to live as close as possible to the school, with just a 3-minute walk from bedroom to classroom, and in the peace and quiet that is possible in a residence reserved exclusively for adults and families (any minors must always be accompanied by their parents/guardians and are never unattended).
The building itself is a fully detached, three-floor structure made out of local Maltese limestone and has 22 oak-furnished bedrooms (6 double rooms, 12 triple rooms and 4 quadruple rooms), and 8 bathrooms. A big bonus is that, unlike in most other places of accommodation (including host families), all bedrooms are fully air-conditioned all the year round. Students have their own desk, chair, wardrobe and locker. Bed linen is changed once a week and towels twice a week. Single rooms are available in the low season (winter/autumn/spring) and high season (summer) at an extra supplement. Common areas include 4 TV rooms, outdoor recreational patios and the in-house canteen in which breakfast and lunch are served. Free Wi-Fi is accessible all over the building.
Residence Meals
Accommodation is available on half board basis and includes breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is served daily in the canteen between 8:00 hrs and 9:00 hrs, while lunch is served in the canteen from Monday to Friday (schooldays only) between 12:15 hrs and 13:15 hrs. [Packed lunch only on Saturdays and Sundays which has to be collected during breakfast.]
Breakfast is a buffet and consists of scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, toasted bread, jam, butter, ham, salami & cheese, choice of cereals, tea/coffee, choice of cakes and free flow of orange juice and water.
Lunch is a three-course meal comprising freshly prepared soup, a choice of six different dishes (meat/chicken/fish, cold salads, pasta, baked potatoes or chips etc.), and a sweet dessert or seasonal fruit.
See this video to get a better idea of what lunchtime looks like in our canteen:
It is therefore not self-catering and does not include facilities such as kitchenettes, related kitchen equipment (for example microwaves), or self-service launderettes (washing machines, tumble dryers etc.), as an alternative laundry service is provided by the residence staff. There are, however, kettles and fridges available for use in the TV rooms, where a few items of food and groceries can be kept if students decide to buy some snacks or drinks. For those who enjoy going out for dinner in the evenings, or who might want to order a takeaway delivery every now and then, there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby to choose from.
