Testimonials from our

Learners

Kaimo Jiao

LEARNER

The teacher is exceptional and did not (only) teach us specific knowledge, she taught us how to fish. This kind of style of teaching reformed my previous way of learning English.

Jino George

LEARNER

The course was very useful. The teacher's attitude and inspiration motivated me to learn English. I decided to work hard to improve my language, which is a barrier in the communication. I learnt the importance of stress, intonation and language functions which helped me to improve my pronunciation. I would like to join in her class anytime if I get a chance.😊

Hardy Hko

LEARNER

I got a good chance to learn English because I had workmates and I asked them to teach me, and they were good Kiwis and happy to teach me. We would speak together at lunchtime and go to the shops together and after a year, my English had improved.

Before you helped me get this job, it was like all the doors were locked and everything was in darkness, and now it is like the lights are all on and I can go in.

Laura Aguero Cendak

LEARNER

Look what I have done. I have travelled 10,000 kilometres to start a new life. If I can do that, I can do anything.

Linda Lam

LEARNER

We all live in a global village, and education plays an important part. People have always accepted my 'Chinglish' but the improvement [in my English] over the past year has amazed even me.
