Student Review

What does Philinter Academy look like according to its graduates?

Masa

5/5
On the first day, I was worried about the classes because each class are very high quality. Moreover, I faced a difficult challenge that I couldn’t express my opinion and feelings in English. However, all teachers follow me and teach me how to express my opinion. Therefore, I extend gratitude to my teacher and other staffs, and my friends. By studying here, I could improve my English skills. I will continue to study English after I go back to Japan. In addition, I would like to come back here and learn English more! Thank you!

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.
