YOUR FAST LANE TO SUCCESS Study. Advance. experience. Succeed.

ALBERTO/SPAIN >> I decided to go to GEOS because one of my friends recomended it to me. When I started my course I was not confident with my English skills but step by step I’m improving. I’m very happy with my classmates and teachers. Also, the classes are funny and we spend a lot of time practising speaking and listening. This is good for me because speaking and listening are my weak points.I will spend 6 months at GEOS. I think at the end of my studies I will be ready to use English at work, for my other studies, and in social situations. I would recommend all people who are thinking about improving their English to choose GEOS. It’s a great experience and I’m sure you will enjoy it.<<

>> I took the GEOS High School Preparation Program in NYC. I learned a lot of things and have been supported by a lot of people throughout my time there. Needless to say, one of my biggest supporters was GEOS. For the first 5 months I went to GEOS to prepare for studying at a local high school. I studied not only English but also Math, Chemistry and so on. During that time, I met people with different backgrounds. When I entered high school, I still kept studying with private lessons at GEOS. Thanks to my tutors I discovered the pleasure of studying. They were very kind and taught me patiently and in detail. Thank you so much GEOS. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make good use of this experience for my university life. <<

>> This is the first time I have ever said “Wow! I’m proud of myself.” My graduation is just ahead, and I am ready to transfer to a university. I now think back to the beginning of my English study at GEOS. I started from beginner class and finished in the advanced class. Through my English studies at GEOS, I learned that the most important thing to do for your English is repetition. While I shared my daily experiences in class every day, I suddenly noticed, “I know a lot of vocabulary.” Also my favorite class acitvities were the presentations. Of course, everyone gets nervous the first time, but I realized it is actually fun. A lot of my experiences in GEOS gave me confidence. Therefore, I wasn’t worried about anything when I started studying at Sheridan College. Although I have learned so many things there as well, GEOS is the most special for me.<<

>> Studying in Malta was an enlightening experience and GEOS was the perfect partner before I even set foot in the country. They supported me right from the start, they helped me find the right university program and then after an assessment they booked me on to just the right level of English course to make sure that I had the required proficiency level to go to university. Everything went very smoothly, from my initial enquiry through to my graduation in Malta. Thank you GEOS for all the support throughout my time with you! <<
