What teachers say

“Our school has been using Holmwood’s for a year and we are seeing the level of English shooting up. Children in group 7 (10 years old) are already able to give presentations and talks in English; something we were never able to do with our previous English course book.”

R. Terlouw, elementary school teacher, Bergambacht

“Students say English Premium is better than the book that we used to use. They like their homework better than they used to."

P. In den Haak, English teacher - De Passie, Utrecht

“Having worked with English Premium for 2 years, children took the CITO test for the first time. The results were astonishingly good."

G. Janssen, elementary school teacher, Oostdijk
