Student Review

What does Philinter Academy look like according to its graduates?

Non

4/5
All the teacher were unique, and I was able to enjoy their classes. The IPS course had four 1on1 sessions per day. Since speaking English inevitably increase during these sessions, I believe it helped strengthen my speaking skills. Even when I used incorrect expressions, the teacher understood and gave me advice, so I was able to speak English without fear of making mistakes.
