Try Discovery Summer for a good summer course. You won't regret it.

It was an amazing English course for my eight-year old daughter. It was very communicative , instructive and motivating course for her.
The teacher was really motivating for the students , encouraging them to speak in English all the time.
We are coming back again this summer. Thanks to Discovery Summer.
