School Testimonials

“I enrolled at the school for 3 months and I'm planning to extend for another 3 months. I decided to study English abroad because I need to speak English fluently to get a good job in Korea so at the moment I'm studying in General English. My friend has been studying in Australia for a few years now and she recommended that I come to Australia. If I have the chance, I may go to TAFE to do a certificate course linked to my major course of study at university in Korea, so I'm thinking about also doing EAP. I'm really enjoying my class and getting to know my classmates. We went to Bronte Beach to have a BBQ party together and that was fun. I also really like the teaching style here at this school as the teachers praise us often. I'm staying in a homestay as my agent recommended that I live with native speakers to practice my English. My homestay is very comfortable and my host parents are very kind. My host mother is from England and sometimes speaks really quickly, but its good practice for my English!”

“Before I came to Australia I read a book about it. I was excited just reading about Australia, but now I can say that actually being here is even better than what was written in that book! In the beginning it was hard. I missed my family, my house, my friends, my dog and the food! But I knew that I had to make the most of my stay and enjoy it as much as I could. After 7 months here I'm really happy, because I feel that I have achieved most of my goals. I have a good level of English, I've worked in different places and I've travelled around Australia. But the most exciting thing that has happened to me on my trip was making so many new friends in such a short time. For me, studying at this school in a class with so many different nationalities was a great experience. It helped me learn more about other cultures and gave me the opportunity to make new friends from all over the world.”
