What our Clients say?

Testimonials

"We have been organising English classes for our employees for several years. We have now been working with UPGRADE for over four years and I can say that we are highly satisfied with their methodology and standard of service. UPGRADE have been improving on their teaching techniques and materials throughout the years, delivering consistent high quality services, which are very personable and help our staff to improve their English.

As the organiser of the English courses at CSUC, I conduct surveys and receive direct feedback from class participants. Our employees have always highlighted the methodology used by UPGRADE and the smooth flow of their classes connected with useful routines to improve their English skills. The classes are also very well prepared, but there is always room for controlled improvisation if any specific language issues come up. As a student myself, I can also attest first hand that UPGRADE provide us with high quality language teaching and push us to improve ourselves.”

Teresa Via
Head of PR at Consorci de Serveis Universitaris de Catalunya

"For over 5 years UPGRADE has been providing our team with high quality services not only teaching, but also editing our written communication or the company website. Their approach has always been highly personalised and has helped our team members become more effective when communicating with our clients. Maciej's intimate knowledge of our business context enables UPGRADE to act as an extension of our team, rather than just a language school.

My personal experience of the classes has been very positive in that they have enabled me to discover certain language patterns that I find very useful as well as hugely improve my pronunciation - something I had been struggling with before. The classes have been instrumental to my improvement in English."

Working with UPGRADE has resulted in a radical evolution for our company. Over the last few years our international business has grown significantly and we have had to speed up our learning. Through its practical methodologies based on rapid learning, pronunciation and grammar improvement, we have managed to reach a level in English that has given us a lot of confidence. Maciej's kindness, high degree of knowledge, flexibility and dedication to the service he provides make him a unique English-teaching professional who is able to make a real difference. Today he represents a key piece to our team.

Taking classes at UPGRADE with Maciej has been a big change from other teachers and learning methods we had tried before. Maciej is highly empathetic as well as entertaining and his classes are quite dynamic. Through his methodology, in a short time, our pronunciation has improved and we have gained confidence speaking in public as well as enhanced our communication with clients. UPGRADE thoroughly prepare their individual and group classes and adapt them to the needs of the student taking their professional needs and level into account.

We are very proud to be working with UPGRADE and have Maciej as our English teacher. After some years working with other academies without any success, finally we found UPGRADE back in 2019 and it proved to be a perfect match. Maciej isn't a typical English teacher. He has deep knowledge of the English language and applying the UPGRADE methodology, he helps the students to improve, independent of the level they have. UPGRADE classes are enjoyable and adapted to the group's needs and the use of Maciej's digital abilities and his constant encouragement motivate people to improve their language skills.

The Audilab Training team and our clients are delighted to work with UPGRADE and especially with Maciej - it is a guaranteed success. Maciej is a great professional: involved, responsible and with a great capacity to adapt to the needs of the client, but without ever losing the objective of the training programme, which allows for great results and obtaining high customer satisfaction.

We always get excellent feedback from the different groups in which UPGRADE has been teaching and look forward to working with them long-term.

Personally, dealing with Maciej is easy. He is a great communicator and his explanations make learning easy and beneficial!

Montse Cano​​
Projects Coordinator at Audilab Formació​

"We have been lucky to work with UPGRADE for over five years. During this time, our relationship has become one of maximum trust. One of the best qualities of UPGRADE has been the ability to adapt to our necessities. Our business has very specific needs and they have been covered in an excellent way.

UPGRADE has the ability to know and find the most important areas to grow. They prepare excellent classes, materials and listening exercises focusing on our language evolution. Personally, I was stagnated and I can feel I have improved a lot In fact, I was not aware of the many mistakes I was making. Thanks to Maciej, I discovered a new world with pronunciation and the difference it makes. We also highly appreciate the language advice oriented to my type of business, looking for the most appropriate words and expressions to use at all times and situations. And we can count on them whenever it is necessary to go beyond a simple translating tool. UPGRADE provides language services that no business should do without today."

English is a must, especially in the IT sector. After almost three years with UPGRADE we can say with confidence that they have been providing us with high quality classes and materials together with a wide variety of resources to improve our English. Their methodology results in a complete and personalised learning experience.

Personally, I especially appreciate the high focus on pronunciation during classes. Thanks to Magic's relentless corrections and attention to detail, I feel I have become much more aware of how I say things in English and also of how much I have improved.
