I loved joining the Bridget Jones booklab with Kerin and the rest of the gang. It was so much fun and a great learning experience. Kerin is an amazing teacher, always looking for new challenges. I would totally recommend EDA to everyone who is tired of boring grammar exercises and is looking for a fun and entertaining English course.

ValentinaItaly

Excellent courses, never boring, but personalized on engaging and current topics that allow you to deepen and improve your English. Feedback is always fast and punctual and with my teacher Kerin I felt followed as if I were in attendance. Truly a full immersion where I can follow my own rhythms and where I always find new activities to experience the language both on a written and oral level.

ChiaraItaly

I did Slumdog Millionaire Book Lab and it’s a course that permits me to practise reading at my level. I liked discussing the book with the other participants and the teacher. A good way to improve reading, speaking and pronunciation in a little group.
