I have long dreamed of starting to learn Chinese, among many language schools, my choice fell on the Underground language school. I was selected a course and a teacher according to my preferences. I study individually, but there is a possibility of classes in a group, and there is also an opportunity to study online. I like the fact that you can study at a convenient time. And I also really like the classes themselves, I found a common language with the teacher very quickly, Lifey gives very interesting educational material, everything is very fun, that I don't even notice how quickly time flies by. And another important plus is that the classrooms are located in one of the most picturesque areas of Minsk, they are very easy to find. And if you are suddenly interested in something, the school managers will always answer all your questions and help.

I am very pleased with the results of the English language courses that I am taking. The teachers are professional and friendly, which creates a comfortable atmosphere in the classroom. In the classroom, we often speak English, which helps us to quickly assimilate and repeat the material we have studied. I like the approach to learning — it is structured, interesting and, most importantly, effective. I began to notice a significant improvement in my English language skills after just a few weeks of classes. Thanks to these courses, I begin to communicate more confidently in English and expand my vocabulary. I highly recommend these courses to anyone who wants to improve their English language skills!

I love this school, because here I found the opportunity to study online, individually with a teacher (a native English speaker) and at a time convenient for me (because I work, and I can't go to classes). I'm from Brest, but it was this school that offered convenient options for English classes, time and they have different payment options online and installments. I like classes, I enjoy them and they are very intense (both grammar and pronunciation and conversational). Very nice managers - they will help you find a convenient option and helped you figure out the payment))))

I've been studying at school for a month now. I chose individual online classes, the teacher is pleasant and it is convenient that all the attention in the lesson is paid only to me, which, in my opinion, gives more results than group classes. I have already noticed that I have stopped worrying when I have to speak English and speak more fluently. I also like the flexibility in assigning classes, you can discuss the day and time of each lesson separately, which allows you to gently fit classes into your life and not ruin other plans.

I have been looking for an opportunity to learn English online for a long time, and finally found a suitable option in the Underground Language Club.
Flexible schedule of classes. You can choose the time and level of your knowledge that is convenient for you.
High-quality educational material English File from Oxford University Press, which is available in online format, and you can also purchase this book at the school itself.
A good teacher is Diana, who is always ready to answer any questions and create a comfortable atmosphere for each student.
The tuition fee is quite adequate, there is a discount system, it is possible to pay in installments. There is also a transfer of classes on sick leave or vacation, which is very convenient.
Overall, I am pleased with my choice and recommend the ULC online school to anyone who wants to learn English and other foreign languages.

I have been studying at this school for more than a month. I really like everything so far. I chose the school according to the location and the schedule that was convenient for me. I was interested in the possibility of studying with a native speaker.
I attend an English course with a native speaker teacher, which makes classes even more productive) The emphasis is on conversational practice, live communication, group discussions on various topics. Grammar is also presented in an accessible and understandable language.
Separately, I would like to note the work of managers who are always interested in your learning process, ready to answer all questions and help)

I chose a language school for myself for a long time, reviewed a huge number of different schools, but decided to stop at this one and never regretted it. I have been studying here for a year now and I will continue my studies.
At first I was a little hesitant, but I decided to take the opportunity to attend a trial class. At the first stage, with the help of a test and communication with the manager, they determined my language level and selected a group suitable for the level. The atmosphere in the group was wonderful, everyone was sociable, funny and friendly. Teacher Anastasia immediately endeared herself, I really like her approach to learning, the program according to which we study, communication with the group, will always prompt, explain and help if there are difficulties somewhere.
I also want to note the convenience of the location of classrooms, and the classrooms themselves are equipped with everything for comfortable study.
During the year of classes at this school, my English language level has significantly improved, grammar gaps have been closed, my listening comprehension has improved, and thanks to the teacher and the atmosphere in the group, I overcame my embarrassment to speak English aloud!

I have been studying at the Underground school for about a year and I am very glad that I chose this particular school. I study German individually.

Good school, I like it. Initially, we thought it would be difficult to choose the time of classes, but we went to a meeting and found a very convenient and comfortable time for online. The teacher is wonderful, the lesson takes place in one go, I really like it. When signing the contract, we paid once for 4 months of training, for which we were given another book and a workbook as a gift

I have been studying for the second month. Classes are held once a week, but everyone can choose a group according to their level and according to their workload schedule. Classes are held according to English file textbooks, the coolest that I have only met (develops several skills at once: working in pairs, auditing, grammar, spelling, etc.). Also pleased with the payment system, you can choose classes for your *wallet*, you can pay immediately, you can in parts. Also, what made me very happy was a conversation club with a native speaker. Having a problem with listening to English, classes at the conversational club eliminated this problem. I like that the carrier gives topics for conversation every week and they are diverse, you will not get bored, plus you will find new like-minded people.
We are also pleased with the convenient location of the school, good teachers. I sincerely recommend everyone to study at this school)

Great school!
The administrators helped me find the right group, which was not easy due to my busy schedule. They are also always in touch and ready to help at any time.
I would also like to mention the amazing work of Ilya's teacher, thanks to whom the English level has improved significantly and the vocabulary has expanded. Lessons are held in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, which is also an important factor for me when choosing a school and a teacher.
Classes are held in the city center - it is convenient to get there.
I am glad that I made my choice in favor of Underground.

An excellent school for those who want to be confident in spoken and written English. I study individually online with a teacher and attend the Conversation Club online in a group. If there is a desire to learn, then the opportunities for growth and development are wonderful. The terms of payment in advance for a long period did not bother me, because I was looking for the option to really seriously and for a long time immerse myself in self-development.

An honest review of the ULC school. I came here to study in November 2023 at the A2 level (beginning), after 2 months I finish the B1 level. Now a little bit about the interaction with the school:
1) Very polite, unobtrusive managers. They offered to write a language level test right in the office. At that time, there was a native speaker in the office (Mac, I think) who tested my spoken English. Everything is cool and professional here.
2) At school, it is not possible to pay every time for one lesson or for one month and just leave. In general, this is logical, as it helps to avoid a huge turnover of students in groups, which is comfortable for those who came to actually pass and finish the level.
3) The payment terms were explained immediately. Either you pay the entire amount (textbooks and a discount are given for this), or in parts for several months in a row, or monthly in installments. In fact, the installment payment goes through the bank, so if you do not want to contact it, it is better to pay in installments. It didn't matter to me, so I took an installment plan. For a subscription for 12 months a month, it turned out to pay about 140 rubles (I studied online).
4) About the termination. If you have an installment plan, it is not profitable to terminate it. It's understandable: if you take the phone in installments, you can't come to the store and return it. It's the same here, with the training service. If you are not sure, it is better to take smaller subscriptions - for 6 months or less.
5) They offer different training options. Online, offline, evening and weekend groups. You can wait for the start of a new group, you can go to an existing group. I decided to wait for the start of a new one, it took me about 2 weeks to wait, but it was not urgent for me.
6) I did not have such a need, but I was told that there is always an opportunity to change the group and the teacher if I want.
7) In general, the manager was always in touch, helped me transfer the passes to the end of the training when I needed to skip. The feeling of interaction is positive, it is clear that we tried to meet them halfway.
What can I say directly about the training:
1) Teachers. Different specialists, Daria and Oleg, led at different levels. Everyone's approach is a little different, but overall I liked both of them: they are very friendly and try to explain everything. Despite the online learning format, the organization of the courses was at a good level. You could always ask something in the general chat, a link to classes in Google Meet was sent in advance. Textbooks in online format were also thrown off.
2) The group was small, about 8 people. Throughout the training, people came and went, but not that often.
3) I liked the training program. It was boring sometimes, but it probably happens that way a lot. I was pleased with the large amount of conversational practice, the teachers always tried to interact with each student.
As for the inner feeling: the result of learning is definitely felt. But again, it also depends on you (do you study at home, do DZ, etc.). The impression of the school is positive (before that, I studied A1 from scratch at another school, there is something to compare it with). I hope my review will be useful to someone =)

The disgusting attitude of the school towards its clients. You won't feel that way on your first visit. You will be treated well, everyone there is very polite, pleasant, but exactly until the moment you sign the contract. Next, your training is your problem.
And the fact is that you will be offered a contract that is extremely unprofitable for the client, because in case of termination, if the entire amount is paid, then nothing will be returned to you, and if you signed a partial payment agreement, you will pay the entire amount under the contract, also the cost.
Managers try to keep the client in this situation by all means, offering other forms of training, intimidating with large amounts of penalties.
In the contract for partial payment of courses, you will literally be given an installment plan, where exactly you will be the borrower, and the school will be the recipient of all the borrowed money. And it is you who will have to deal with the payments that will come every month, regardless of whether you have announced to the school that you want to stop classes or go.
This happened in my case, after expressing my intention to leave school for a third of my studies, I was asked to fill out an application, which was considered for 10 days. Immediately, the manager tried to dissuade, intimidating with numbers.
Next, I received an official response from the legal service, where they incorrectly calculated the amount, writing that they did not owe me anything, which I indicated to the manager. They redid my response to my application 2 more times, which took 2 weeks. Further, when I pointed out that I had paid for the month that the teacher was on vacation and we did not study, the school and its lawyers decided not to take this into account, ignoring me.
The situation dragged on for about a month, which I was pretty fed up with, besides, it was time to pay in installments for tuition, which I hadn't attended all this month.
I wrote a claim in which I indicated that I was ready to bear only the actual expenses incurred (classes attended and interest to the bank), which is an absolutely legitimate solution to the situation. In case of filing a claim, the legal service must consider it in 14 days, I received a response 21 days later, after I wrote an addendum to the claim and called a couple of times to remind them that they were violating the law by not giving me an answer.
The cherry on the cake was that the bank has not disappeared for all these 2 months and requires payment on schedule, otherwise the credit history will be ruined, which the school can only advise to continue paying.
After two months of hassle and consultations with lawyers, the school satisfied the claim and returned the money for the unvisited classes, however, not because they were client-oriented, but because they were afraid to go to court.
Whether to start studying at this school is your decision!

I have been studying for 3 months. It took me a long time to choose a school, but I decided on Underground. And I didn't regret it. Firstly, managers are always in touch and will prompt you on any issue. Secondly, I was lucky with Anastasia, the teacher. She presents everything very simply and interestingly. I want to go to classes with pleasure. Those who choose or are in the process- I recommend the school I go to myself. Plus they have more lessons with a native speaker (I really haven't gone yet, as little time has passed, but in the future I will definitely go to such classes)

From the very first lesson at this foreign language school, I realized that I had hit the mark! The teachers here not only have deep knowledge of the language, but are also sincerely interested in the success of each student. They use innovative teaching methods that make the learning process not only effective, but also incredibly exciting.
Classes are held in comfortable classrooms equipped with the latest technology, which creates an ideal environment for learning.
I am grateful for the incredible support and individual approach that I have experienced here. This school has really helped me unlock my potential and truly love the language I am learning.
I recommend that anyone who wants to learn a foreign language join this wonderful school!

I have been studying Spanish since October (A1). Honestly, there are zero complaints! My teacher Yana is simply the best! The lessons are always very iterative, I get a huge dose of positivity for the rest of the week!! I study online because of my busy schedule and I don't see any disadvantages! I can contact Yana at any time of the day and ask her to explain something again) Yana always throws off memes or flashcards that make learning words faster and more interesting (I'll leave a photo below). If you wanted to try to start learning a new language, you are definitely here!

I have been studying English since I was 8 years old and since I came to Belarus and studied Russian, I did not speak English at times and forgot a lot of things in English. I decided to attend an English class. I searched for a long time , usually the groups did not gather well , I waited for months ... and then I was just lucky to find this wonderful language school ! Just what you need👌 The group gathered quickly , we have an excellent teacher , he is an American himself ! I only managed to go there and study! I also think that the prices compared to other schools are very good, they always have promotions. I bought a subscription and also received textbooks as a gift. The place is also convenient in the city center and parking is provided for those who drive their car! So I highly recommend this school and wish all the staff of this school good luck! The main thing is to keep it that way !

A decent school. We started with a competent, thoughtful consultation and preparation of a training program for our request, the selection of a teacher not only according to the level of training, but also for compatibility with the student (we study individually), constant feedback from the curator. Classes are very productive and fun!

I have been studying German at school for 2 months now. I can note that the level of teaching is high; there are both experienced specialists with long experience and novice young teachers. They are not inferior to each other in terms of professionalism. I can already see progress in my knowledge, the conversational barrier has begun to gradually go away.
The location of the school is very comfortable, the city center, next to the metro, which is convenient to get to from anywhere. Comfortable classrooms, clean restrooms, boilers with water on the floors: maximum conditions for a comfortable stay at school.
I would also like to mention the excellent work of the managers. The manager is always in touch with you, always ready to help you choose a schedule that is convenient for you, change the level of the group if you feel that you need to move to a higher/lower level.
There are many informative channels in the social network.networks where you can find a lot of useful information about the language you are learning.
The most important thing is that everyone will be able to choose a comfortable way to learn a language: individual or group lessons, online or offline.
The school tries to improve, innovates in ways of learning the language and provides resources for independent work.
My choice of an Underground school has paid off. Thanks to everyone who makes it better!

I work with an individual teacher, the learning process is extremely effective.
The teaching methodology allows you to develop all aspects of the language, the process as a whole is aimed at improving the spoken language, but grammar and listening are also enough.
It is extremely convenient that there is an online learning format, and it is also possible to freeze classes for the duration, if necessary.
It is possible to solve any issues related to the learning process in management
They respond quickly during the day or the next day
There are also many promotions that allow you to get free classes.

Hello) I started learning English from scratch 3 months ago! I really liked that it is possible to conduct lessons online.. no need to waste time traveling around the city.. I have a very good teacher Olga, she explains the material very clearly (almost "chews" it), adjusts the schedule without problems if suddenly I can't attend a class for some reason, and she is very nice and pleasant to communicate with). Therefore, I do not regret in the least that I chose this school.. I am very happy, and I hope that in a year I will be able to speak English much better))

I studied at this language school offline for 8 months. Having reached the A1 level, I graduated from A2. There are no complaints about the teacher. Managers do their job in good faith. The group was friendly. There are many promotions and profitable packages.
But there are still disadvantages: in groups of 12 people!!! After listening to the audio recording, a dog-cat chorus begins; when they reach the grammatical part, everyone reads the sentence along the chain and only this can take 20 minutes. In the group, people are clearly from different levels and the same stronger ones will speak.
If you really want to learn a language, look for mini-groups or individually.

A wonderful language school!
I tried both working in an offline group and working in an online group, as well as a conversation club with a native speaker.
The school promotes emancipation and getting rid of the fear of speaking, which is what I originally went for. And there is also a lot of theory that I didn't know about before. 💪

The desire to learn the language has only increased because I see my progress. Language learning at school is systematic and multifaceted, i.e. we simultaneously improve reading, writing, listening comprehension, pronunciation and speaking.
It is very pleasant that the school appreciates regular customers and offers discounts and promotions.

I have been studying English at this school for 4.5 months now. I purposefully signed up for classes online, because for me personally it is an incentive to study. I am very happy with the classes, for which I thank our wonderful teacher Daria very much, who cheerfully and very clearly explains the information, answers all questions that arise (even stupid ones), and also stimulates me to improve my conversational skills every lesson)
Over the entire period of study, I have significantly improved my conversational skills (although I still strain a little when I have to to speak), and I also managed to significantly replenish my vocabulary and improve my grammar.
Recently, the band has moved to the next level. I will also try very hard to further improve my English)
Of the disadvantages, I can only highlight the eternally broken window in the office, uncomfortable chairs and the lack of a place where you can put things properly. But this does not affect the quality of education in any way.
