Testimonials from Our Students
Their Experience in Our Language Courses
Farbod
“I am happy to improve my English; I chose this school. This is where I met Mark, and it had a great impact on my progress. I wish I had more time to continue my studies here. Also, I met John, who has a special teaching method and taught me many things. Mark’s teaching method is very effective because he is strong in teaching and can communicate very well. Finally, I want to express my gratitude.”
Naïm
“Studying English at the YMCA International Language School has been a great experience. Classes are held in small groups with students from all over the world. Classes are very interactive, and all aspects of the language are taught (speaking, writing, listening, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and reading). The material is complete, and the teachers take the time to explain each rule. I’ve made a lot of progress studying at the YMCA, and I highly recommend it!”
