I went to this school from primary 1 to graduation. It's a tough job reviewing a school and it…read morereally does depend on your year at school. As I graduated a few years back, I can only speak of my experience. I think that St Georges has a lot of great teachers, a lot of fantastic facilities and honestly, it's one of the best schools out there. But when I was there I felt like there was not much trust between many of the senior teachers and their pupils. They didn't really care much for your well being but more for your grades and getting people through the school. I also didn't get the impression they were trying to educate about jobs to go into or careers, it was almost entirely focused on passing exams. As I said, there were some notable exceptions to this but it was definitely prominent in the senior teachers in charge.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a great day on the beginners sewing course. I didn't really…read moreknow what to expect since I am a complete beginner (I don't think I've ever even seen a sewing machine up close and have never used a needle and thread!) but with Ali's thorough tuition at every step and her patience and expertise, I ended up making a neat and comfy cushion. I keep looking at it thinking 'I can't believe i made that!" I am now dropping some big hints for a sewing machine for Christmas and feel very confident about signing up to one of your more advanced classes. I highly recommend Edinburgh Sewcial Club's dressmaking classes to anyone with a keen interest in sewing, wether your a novice or otherwise, Ali's classes suit all abilities. Thanks again!

honestly can't recommend this maths tutoring place enough. Indy is an amazing teacher -- super…read morepatient, explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and never makes you feel dumb for not understanding something the first time. Before coming here I struggled a lot with maths, but Indy breaks everything down step-by-step and makes even the hardest topics feel manageable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students doing well, not just finishing the lesson.

The receptionist was rude, dismissive, and arrogant. I was forced to vacate the foyer seats and…read morestand in a crowded exhibition hall without seating, despite my back problems and sensory issues. When asked for a reason, I was told the foyer chairs were for "the restaurant patrons" despite the restaurant being essential empty with nobody waiting to sit down in the foyer. The receptionist then cordoned off the seats with red rope, and nobody sat in them for the rest of the evening. There was no apparent reason for her behaviour besides pure spitefulness and that is not the sort of person you want representing your business as the first point of interaction with patrons.

I noticed that the French institute is classed as a 'language school' by Yelp. I must say that's…read morenot even the beginning.... Well, actually, it's a good place to start, but apart from the excellent language classes offered the French Institute in Edinburgh is a fantastic venue for all sorts. And there's no snobbery, I don't have a word of French and frequently I'm laughed at for my botched pronunciations, but they still let me through the door. I've attended art classes (got my tapestry on) and seen art shows here. There's a gorgeous back room which serves as a gallery and has one of the most spectacular views in the city. Recently they held their Fête de la Musique celebrations, with a whole day of music from all over the world. Sea Bass Kid, a local ska/jazz/rock type band were particularly worth seeing! The French Institute is also a Fringe venue. Last year I went to see 'The Onion Johnnies', a not-competely-factual history of the onion Johnnies who would travel from France to Scotland on their bikes and wage war with rabbits (apparently). This year there's a range of shows on. Down in the basement there is The Bistrot restaurant which does great French food and snacks. I've eaten here a few times and to be honest, they run out of the good stuff quickly so get there early! There's also a bar. I would recommend anyone with even the slightest interest in France to pop along or at least check out their website. I think they do a fantastic job here in Edinburgh as both a diverse venue and a Frenchy-type talking place.

I first went to RVM through a voucher on KGBdeals as it seemed good value and I had been wanting to…read morefind a reputible singing tutor for some time. I was not disappointed! Gill made me feel comfortable and at ease from the first time we met and made my shyness melt away! I've now been having singing lessons with Gill for about 6 months and can't believe how my confidence has grown! RVM have given me the opportunity to sing with a live band and sing songs I never even dreamt of being able to sing and thought were well out of my range. The lessons are really relaxed and friendly and I always come away from them with a smile on my face. I hardly even notice that I'm learning half the time as I'm having so much fun! Would definitely recommend RVM to anyone looking to learn how to improve their voice and build their confidence levels, and more importantly, to enjoy doing so!!!
