Ed Visa Phuket

[nisims]

Hello, I have read a little about schools teaching differently and that its good if you can go and take a sample lesson before signing up. I am not in that postion, I wanted to choose my school pay half the fees etc so they can get my ed visa, I would like to know which schools are regarded as decent schools for learning which just happen to offer ed visa service in Phuket. I have looked at 6 websites of schools but tbh cannot really tell much, patong seems a decent website but I was not planning on that location more central.

I am 40 years old, uk, not been great with learning lanuages in the past, want to be able to speak a little to get by, reading not so important but would like to understand numbers etc which can help me with shopping.

Thanks
