Ali Mert Aytekin
"I went to Westbourne Academy in 2017. It was my first time abroad. Later on I've been back to the UK and Canada for English Course however Westbourne Academy is so special for me. It was the best days of my life. I'm still talking with my host family who's my second family. They will come to Turkey and I will visit them in Germany (they moved to Germany). I hope I am able to come to Westbourne Academy and Bournemouth. With love to my School and dream city."
Karen Rubio
"One of the most incredible experiences I've had in my life. When I decided to give up on some things to enjoy this journey, I never imagined meeting such incredible places and people. In addition to the cultural exchange, expansion of the English language skills, self-knowledge, on my way I found soul brothers/sisters that I will carry in my heart forever! Thank you, dear friends, for all the beautiful moments. Love you and miss you a lot!"
Huju Lee
"I'm Huju Lee from South Korea. I've been taking a General English Course in Westbourne Academy for 5 months. Actually I hadn't learnt English before I came to England. To be honest, I could say just a few words at first and I was worried about learning English. But the teachers in Westbourne Academy are experts in teaching English so I could get used to talking in English easily. Now I can talk with my friends from many countries well. In addition, we travel sometimes in the UK to make nice experiences. Anyway the time I've spent in Bournemouth was absolutely amazing and I will never forget the people and experiences I had there."
