“I found ClassMate very useful so far and I’ll carry

on using it when I go back to my country. I’m using

it to prepare for my exams and also to do some extra

exercises."

—AnnaritafromItaly

“ClassMate is very useful because you can practise

your writing, reading and listening in different ways

and also get help from your teacher. Also you can

get new information about College life and events

at Kings.”

—NataliafromRussia

“I think that ClassMate helps me to learn English

because, if I make mistakes, it tells me what is wrong.

The Flash Point lessons are also very useful.”

—UlarfromKazakhstan
