What Makes Philinter Academy Different?

Taiwanese

4/5
I have learned and improved my pronunciation. The most challenging for me was my writing ability. Hope we have more chance to practice at night class.

Japanese

5/5
I like IPS the most compare to other course, I can focus on speaking in English. I improved my speaking skill like pronunciation, vocabularies, and grammar. All teachers are professional and bubbly. I enjoyed talking with my teachers everyday and I felt that time went fast. For me, studying and learning English are not challenging because it was very fun. But I felt hard physically. I had to stay all day until night. I’m used to it now but first and second week, I felt so exhausted. But time solved it.

Overall, my school experience here is positive and meaningful, the classes were well-organized, we could choose the class we like, and teachers here are supportive and responsive. The course is challenging for me, they handled well through guidance and feedback. I learned a lot from here.

4/5
IPS = It’s hard to express my thought at the beginning. But I try practice and look up English words. Advanced = The time as an advanced business student for me was short, only 3 weeks, so I needed to accomplished 4 tasks in a hurry. Fortunately, teachers are kind and always willing to help. Dining Hall = The food is sometimes overly salty. Limited amount of vegetables provided. The seafood is sometimes lacking in freshness.

I had a vey fulfilling three months. There are some classes that didn’t match me, but when I told the office, they responded quickly, which was good. Even though I was in IPS course, I was thankful that they were flexible when I wanted to study grammar too. The buddy teacher system was also nice because it was clear who I should talk to when I had questions. One thing I would say is that I originally chose the IELTS course, but it was difficult for me. I wish the IELTS course had different levels.

Japanese

5/5
I took the IPS course at Philinter for one month. When I enrolled, my level was around a typical Japanese high school graduate’s level. Even though it was only a month, I was able to improve my speaking level by three tanks. By the end of the course, I could understand more of what my teachers were saying and I became confident enough to speak without fear. I was able to form sentence much more smoothly. One of the biggest reasons for my rapid improvement was the environment. I had a buddy teacher who genuinely cared about my progress, and if a class didn’t match my level, they immediately changed it for me. On top of that, the IPS course offer one-on-one class every day, which naturally force you to speak a lot. Because of this, I was constantly using English and couldn’t rely on Japanese, which helped me improve quickly. The atmosphere among the students was also very positive. Everyone was highly motivated, so it was easy to stay focused and enjoy studying with my classmates. Thank you, Philinter!

Japanese

4.5/5
I had a great experience in these three months. A lot of teachers taught me and prepare many things. In the group class, I could feel very funny moments. All teachers gave us a chance to speak equally. Because of it, I could tell other student about my idea without hesitation. However, there is no Wi-Fi in the buildings for class. It’s not good for student and difficult to search words or like that.

Japanese

5/5
My goal is to speak English without translating from Japanese in my mind. The IPS curriculum gave me many chances to practice. My teachers were friendly and always gave me useful expressions.
