Experience Success Cristiane Taylor English for International Communication

I’ve been a student at Cornell since October 2009. When I came to NZ I was looking for a school that had qualified teachers and provided sufficient space and motivation to develop my skills in English. Not surprisingly, my English has improved significantly and the reason is my teachers! Here I have been able to associate with teachers who are not only kind and friendly but have supported me in my endeavours. In addition, the environment is stimulating yet relaxed; the small classes provide a lot of individual attention and focus on my particular needs. Actually this makes all the difference especially as I have been able to compare Cornell with other schools that I visited earlier. All these factors have contributed enormously to developing my English speaking skills properly. I am sure that I will achieve my goals at this Institute and I am very grateful to my teachers for what they have done toward developing a new language. This experience is not only academic but a life experience!!

ability to explain modern approaches in Development and Project management for foreigners is absolutely perfect. I would not have had time to educate myself as I have at Cornell Institute. Personally, I have found not only comfortable environment for education but effective and progressive communication between students and lecturers. In addition, I want to say, that the flexible approach in education is perfectly realised at Cornell with Summer School lessons and a timetable that is suitable for people who have a part time job.
