Germany

Svenja Margareta GUENTHNER

I really enjoyed studying at WIE even if it only was for a short time (4 weeks). I really liked the teachers and my classmates who made me feel comfortable from the first minute. I also think that I learned a lot in the short time I've been here and improved especially my writing and my grammar. This is hopefully very helpful for passing the IELTS test so I can enrol for uni in New Zealand. But I still have 2 months left in New Zealand before I go back to Germany and try to enjoy the time as much as I can and use the time after school to prepare myself for the IELTS. Thank you for the good time :)

India

ITI RAHEJA

I am Iti Raheja, a registered nurse in India. Recently, I have completed English studies at WIE. It was an awesome experience to study here. I have made strong relations with the WIE teachers and my classmates. Teachers are incredibly helpful for students in WIE. All teachers always helped me regarding my studies and living in a completely new environment. I am now friends with international people now because of WIE. I had a great time with my teachers and friends. Concerning the English improvement, I have been improved a lot. My speaking skills are far better now. I can speak confidently now as we have done lots of presentation activities in classroom. Students can enjoy all the facilities like computers, table tennis, café area etc. I enjoyed a lot while going to trips organised by WIE. The things I liked the most is always cooperative and concerned behaviours of teachers and management. well, I have got an idea how to learn English appropriately as I have learnt lots of archaic English in India which is not longer in use in English speaking countries. Overall it was a fantastic experience to study at WIE. Thanks to all for everything.

I am VJ from the Philippines. I came here with a few Filipinos for the IELTS Preparation for my nursing registration. I like about this language school is the teachers who really genuinely care for their students and the receptionists and school staffs are very helpful and warm. I had a lot of fun especially when we have outdoor trips and ZUMBA classes. I met different friends from different countries. I have already passed my IELTS and just waiting for the nursing council's decision. As of the moment i am considering to take a post graduate course to upgrade my career.

MARIA FERNANDA (FERNANDA) MEDEL SANCHEZ

I'm Fernanda from Santiago of Chile. I'm a physiotherapist and I came to New Zealand to study English because I'm married with a kiwi and I need a good score in my IELTS. When I arrived to NZ and especially the first month I was a little homesick, but as soon as I enter to study here I started to feel a lot better and I really had a wonderful time. I really enjoyed the trip to Mount Maunganui. I had a lot of fun and I feel that my English is better than when I arrived here. I think that the fact that we speak English in classes is wonderful and my class was amazing, my teachers were there in case I needed them. I will say to my family and friends that this was a wonderful experience.

Japan

NANA YAMASHITA

I'm Nana. I was born Kagawa Prefecture of Japan. But my family have lived in Gifu Prefecture (near Nagoya) since twenty three years ago. So my hometown is there. I thought for a long time about I want to study abroad and to homestay. Last year, I was sick. I thought "if I feel better, I will try everything my own way." So I decided this stay. I enjoy my school "WIE". Staffs are very kindness, If I need helps, they correspond my question. My teachers speak clear pronunciation. And even if I made some mistake speaking, they praise me well. When I started my class, I worried whether difficult class for me. But I became a lot of friends, used to spending in class, and my motivation is up! We had a BBQ Party at teachers house, went to museum, I will never forget many memories and wonderful experience.

MILENA MARIA HAWRYSZCZUK

I am My name is Milena Hawryszcuk I'm from Poland my hometown is Hruoieradw. I decided to study English to achieve 6.5 in the IELTS exam to be able to go study at the Waikato University - Environmental Planning. I really enjoyed being a student at WIE especially, because the teachers are very helpful, honest and friendly. What is more I've met here lots of amazing people from different countries. It was really nice when the school was making free lunches for new students, it was really helpful to know them better. I improved my English level from intermediate to advanced (IELTS 6.5). The most enjoyable part of study at WIE was afternoon class with Jim. Unfortunately I didn't participate in WIE's events to often, but if so I really enjoyed it. I will strongly recommend study at WIE to my friends.

China

Peigui WU

I'm Peigui Wu, and I come from Jinan Province, China. I chose to study at WIE because I want to improve my English and prepare for future study. The teachers and classmates at school have given me a lot of help. When I completed the general English course, I felt that my English had improved strongly. I have participated in some activities, etc. Actually, however, what impressed me the most is the feeling of working hard. I really love studying English. WIE have helped me a lot in preparing to study nursing at another university in the future. If I meet someone who needs help or wants to improve their English, I would recommend them to study at WIE because the learning environment and atmosphere are really enjoyable. I've seen many of my classmates around me studying really hard.

Timur IAKHIN

The school and teachers are incredibly helpful. The teachers are locals, which makes it easy for students to ask questions about New Zealand culture and specific aspects of the English language — including slang, pronunciation, and more. The school provides a high-quality education, and the teachers are genuinely kind and supportive. They help students work towards their goals. For me, my goal is to develop a career as an ecologist. Studying here has helped me improve the specific skills I need, and I see this school as a great place to earn a certification. I'm currently taking the NZCEL Level 5 course, and I really believe this is a great place to pursue your studies.

Maria Alejandra VERGARA PEREZ

I am writing this letter to say thank you, because I am so happy with my English now. Maybe my scores are not too high. However, I can express myself with confidence now. I have improved my grammar, speaking, listening and everything. Now I feel more confident and I think I can have a better job. My teachers, Dave and Ms.Val are the best teachers. Dave spent a lot of his time helping me with my grammar. In addition, he has prepared (in his own time) special exercises for me to keep me up with the pace of the class and not to be left behind. Also, he has been really happy to answer all my million questions and every time with good manners. I think he is a teacher with lots of motivation and patience. Val is my teacher in the afternoon class and she has improved my speaking, writing and score in IELTS. I am so happy with her, because she has helped me a lot (in her won time) with my personal writing such as emails and reports for my work. Now, I can be reaching my dream to go to the university in New Zealand one day soon. Another important person has been Hao. She has organised great entertainment for us and we have had good fun. I think that her job is really important in our school, because she keeps the students happy and motivated. She is the “smile” in the school. Also, she is also pleased to help us with any problems. In overall, I am really happy with the school and I have improved my English a lot. Now I can live with my dream to study in the university or I can have a better job. For those reasons, I encouraged my friend Paulo to study in this school. And I am happy to recommend the school to other people based on my own experience. Finally, thank you for letting me teach Zumba and giving me this great opportunity to learn this important language with the best teachers and team in Waikato.

China

Lily LIAN

I had studied in WIE for five months before I sat IELTS test. I found out that the teachers in upper-intermediate class wound give us some tips to do the IELTS exercise, especially writing and speaking. Before I studied in Upper-intermediate class, I tried to practice IELTS task 1, but I didn’t know how to analyze the chart. After our teacher taught us to write this kind of writing for 2 classes, I suddenly understood the way to do it. So I could do writing part well in the text.
