I would choose the Elizabeth School of English. There are two reasons. The first is to have a high-quality English course. If I have a chance to learn, I would like to choose a good one. Even if the price is high. It's also important to have good teachers. If I pay high money, I want to get good education.
The second is to choose a course that suits my purpose. I think this method is the most efficient way to study. We should study only what you need. From this point I would choose Elizabeth School of English. But it's important to study a lot regardless of which classroom I choose.
