Teachers are really kind and helpful! I love my class so much that I met a lot of friends from all over the world. My English proficiency has tremendously enhanced.

I really enjoy the class atmosphere as all of us enjoy learning together! The class is truly interactive and teachers check on our progress from time to time.

NZCEL 5 Rio

Learning English has never been so enjoyable! I used to be very shy when using English to communicate with others. My teacher encouraged me a lot during the class and I have stepped out of my comfort zone. I gain a lot of confidence after I join NZIOS!
