> Great Speaking Practie = Lots of 1-on-1 classes. Teachers encourage me to speak, which really helps improve my daily conversation skills. > Helpful Buddy Teachers = My assigned Buddy Teacher Summer is very supportive and guides me whenever I have learning or class adjustments. > Poor classroom soundproofing = The 1-on-1 classrooms have no soundproofing, so it's often noisy and distracting during lessons.

I think absolutely everything about the learning experience here was wonderful. All the teachers are professional, dedicated, responsible, and incredibly friendly. Rather than just instructors, they feel like mentors guiding me on the right path, teaching essential techniques and pointing out crucial details for the exam. Every week, they also cared deeply about my mock exam results, discussing improvements with me. The only downside during my studies was the restroom situation on the second floor. Having only two restrooms is already too few, but they were both out of order since almost all of my classes were on the second floor, queing for the restroom was the only reason I was ever late for class.

The one-on-one classes were very valuable because the teachers always tailored the lessons to my individuals needs and weaknesses. Thanks to this personalized approach, I was able to improve my English skills efficiently. However, I think the small group classes could be improved. I understand that the number of students has increased, but many of the classes I wanted to take were already full, so I often could not change my schedule. Based on students' demand, I think it would be better to offer more speaking and writing classes instead of adding more vocabulary or accent classes, as well as myself, felt the same way.

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.
