"In terms of IELTS teachers, all teachers are great and always clarify which improvements I should enhance, so I think I could make sure what I should do clearly. Honesty, I feel like sometimes the teaching style may not match you, but teachers are able to change it along with your needs, and you can change the class if you want, which were the positive things for me. Having said that, it was a little bit pity that I couldn't take a popular group class because of the maximum number of students after June onwards since the school curriculum was changed. Overall, the quality of the teachers is great and I didn't expected that my score was improved and I was able to be familiar with english even though it was my first study abroad experience. I'm truly satisfied. Thank you, Philinter !!"

I joined the General ESL program because my goal was to improve my English communication skill and become more confident when speaking. During my first week, I found it very challenging because the teachers spoke naturally and my vocabulary was limited. I could understand only a little, and I felt nervous. However, thanks to the 1:1 classes and the patience of my teachers, I gradually improved my listening and speaking skills. Although my pronunciation and grammar are still not perfect, I am no longer afraid to speak English. I am very grateful to all the teachers and staff at Philinter. This has been a meaningful learning experience and I am happy that I chose Philinter.

I had a very positive learning experience at Philinter. The Business Course was practicaland useful for my professional needs. The teachers were supportive, patient, and highly experienced in business communication. I improved my confidence in speaking, presentation skills, and business writing. My biggest challenge was speaking fluently in front of an audience, but my teachers helped me through continuous practice and feedback. Overall, this course exceeded my expectations and prepared me for international business communication.

In the first two weeks, it was hard to adjust to the strict schedule and the all-English environment. I felt a lot of pressure because the teachers set high goals based on my level. However, by the second week, I started to adapt and could chat with people in English more naturally.

All of the class were focused on speaking, which really helped me become more confident in using English. At first, I was a bit nervous about speaking up, but I gradually became more comfortable expressing my ideas. My teachers were very supportive and taught me really well. They always encouraged me to speak more and not be afraid of making mistakes. Because of their constant encouragement and guidance, I became much more confident in my spoken English. The biggest challenge was switching to TOEIC course. From speaking classes to do mock tests (practice) every day was exhausting, and I honestly questioned my choice. But the study atmosphere here is good. Everyone complains a little but still studies hard together, which kept me motivated.

My course has been very helpful and interesting. The classes are interactive and enjoyable. My teachers are supportive and always willing to help students. Through this course, I have improved my English communication skills and gained more confidence in speaking with others. I had some challenges with speaking English fluently at first. To overcome this, I practiced speaking every day, participated actively in class, and asked my teachers for advice. Their support helped me improve my confidence and communciation skills.

I had a very good experience here. Before I came to this school, I have never had the opportunity to live in an English speaking environment. The teachers are very patient and encouraging, and I get along well with my classmates. The only issue currently is that there are a lot of students, so it can be difficult to find a seat in the dining hall. The biggest drawback was probably the food, which could be improved. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and I would love to come back if I have a chance.
