The school now has two campuses, its main campus is located in the central Information Technology business district with the city view, while their new campus is located along the coast of Mactan Island facing the beautiful sea view every single day.
The school boasts its highly professional teachers that has undergone TOFEL/TESOL training. Aside from that, they are one of the few language schools in Cebu who are using the “Callan Method” for teaching for a more efficient and effective learning process. As we know, callan method is a way of teaching in a fun, fast and repetitive way which really suits to the school’s name “QQ” that stands for “Quick and Quality”. In addition, the school aspires to provide quality English Education at a cheaper cost to its ESL learners. With their growing school, both of their campuses can cater 300 offline students with various nationalities. Most of which are Japanese but they also have students from Korea, Taiwan, China, The Middle East, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Thailand, Russia, and some other nationalities. This mixture of culture allows English learners to interact with people from different nationalities, build good relationships with them while improving their English skills competency.
The QQ English Campuses though offers the same curriculums, each campus has its own distinctions. For example, the Seafront Campus in Mactan Island offers deluxe rooms and suites, aside from the normal dormitory type rooms. Also, the Seafront Campus gives the students a vacation vibes while learning English. On the contrary, the main campus in Lahug, portrays the beautiful Cebu skyline, new and updated facilities and building. Transportation towards the Seafront Campus is a bit difficult so we suggest taking a cab for your convenience. While on the other hand, you can take any kind of transportation heading to the main campus. So just take your choice.

Conclusion
With the surge of foreign nationals learning English in Cebu, each ESL school has developed their own curriculum to cater all the needs of these language learners. The one-on-one teaching style, the learner-centered approach, the intensive hours of classes, culture exchange, school’s location, the chance to travel while studying, all contributed to the learning process of these English learners in achieving their goals. Koreans were the first to come to the Philippines to learn English two decades ago. At the present, the number of other foreign nationals who aims to be certified in English traveled to the Philippines for the same reason. This number is still rising and so as ESL schools.
