STUDENT COMMENTS
To help you choose a private distance-learning course, here are some student comments, arranged alphabetically by country:
AUSTRIA - MARIA, CPE
All your hard work in getting me ready paid of! I passed my CPE exam with an A grade, and I am (obviously!) over the moon! Thank you so much for all your help and support, especially when it came to essay writing! I passed the speaking and the essay paper exceptionally, and whereas I wasn't too surprised about the result for the speaking paper, I didn't expect it for my essay paper. I always did find it hard to write precisely what I wanted to say, without waffling. So you can take all credit for that one!
Although it seems like it was Christmas about six months ago, I hope you had a nice one! I am busy trying to decide what to do next, there are quite a few doors open for me at present.
Anyway, reading the results this morning has made my week-end, I hope you will be having a great one, too!
BULGARIA - ZDRAVKA, CPE
I read much more in English and that is why I have two books about world religions and philosophy of religion in English in my luggage. I would like to use this opportunity to thank you for being such a good tutor, for all your patience, support and yes, strictness! I have learned a lot from you and I am going to continue when I come back.
GERMANY - BEATE, CPE
Whatever the outcome of the examination will be, I know that my English has improved, and I would like to thank you for your help.
FIJI - ADRIANA, CPE
Thank you for your clear explanations, they helped me a lot. I have been working on the essay the last two weeks and I can tell you that I have learnt a lot. Especially, it has been very interesting for me to hear the other side of a history that I learnt and experienced from quite a different point of view.
I have found the radio programs especially noteworthy. Although I feel that I based the essay more on the articles that I read. I wonder if I will be able to remember all this new vocabulary that I have learnt!
HONG-KONG - JOSEPHINE, CPE
Many thanks for your kind help! Until now, most of my résumés have been written in Chinese. In the future, when I have to send an English resume and have questions, I will ask for your help. Very many thanks in advance!
IRELAND - JAKEZ, CPE
I am glad to inform you that I passed the Certificate of Proficiency in English (grade B). I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help, advice, and expertise.
ISRAEL - EHUD, CPE
It was an excellent experience to work in front of you. Your colourful remarks were not just corrections, but were very instructive lessons about language and formulation in general. You provided me with a little key to the English language!
ITALY - MARCO, CPE
I have good news! I passed the CPE exam! The mark is not brilliant [C grade], but I am proficient in English! So, we have reached the goal we aimed at!
I thank you again for your help.
ITALY - PATRIZIA, CAE and PHILOSOPHY
More than ever, I'm sure you are a great tutor! I've learned a great deal of very good English, thanks to your tutorials, and listening to BBC Radio 4; I mean, on my own at home; totally alone! I'm proud of my English!
LATVIA - VLADIMIR, CAE
I was very pleased to work with you; I was so happy, that I will get in touch with you after Christmas and New Year, in order to keep on writing essays, or whatever seems to you most appropriate for me.
MEXICO - GIBRIM, CAE
I just received my results for the CAE (I was unable to get them online because I lost my codes): I got an A!
Exceptional Writing, Use of English and Listening. A point below exceptional in Speaking and Reading.
Soon I'll start the CPE tutorials.
MYANMAR (BURMA) - MYATSOE, CPE
I never had that kind of correction in my life: very detailed and very systematic. If I receive that type of guidance, I am sure my English will be definitely improved more than ever before.
Now I feel more happy and confident that I chose that course (based upon your advice) and that it is totally correct.
PHILIPPINES - MURIEL, CPE
Honestly, I had a tough time with this essay; however, to borrow the words of Prof. Sheila Rowan, it was really a big challenge. The topic of discussion was very interesting, and I consider this a great learning experience for me.
PHILIPPINES - SIM, IELTS
Thank you for the quick reply. As I go through the website (the online- resources) that you sent me, it is really nice, I have enjoyed it, I got all the answers for my questions, thank you!
POLAND - ZDRAVKA, CPE
Thank you very much for your corrections, especially for the detailed explanations of use of tenses, which I find incredibly helpful.
I would like you to know how much I rely on your professional advice and respect your experience. In conclusion, I simply do not want another tutor.
PORTUGAL - JOANA, CPE
I sat the CPE examination last week, and I am hoping to have done well. The overall difficulty was quite similar to that of the sample papers. The Speaking test was easier than I expected, and the Listening paper wasn't hard either. Once again, I would like to thank you for all your help in my preparation for the CPE exam.
PORTUGAL - JOANA, CPE
Thank you! I was truly happy with my Grade-A CPE result. It is indeed satisfying when our efforts are rewarded.
SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO - ANDREA, CPE
I am simply amazed with the corrected script you sent me! Nobody has ever done such a thorough analysis of any of my essays! Thank you for that.
SWEDEN - MARIA, CPE and PHILOSOPHY
It is not pleasant to sit an examination knowing that one's success depends on getting the right questions. That was how I felt when I entered the CAE test, after attending a preparatory class in Sweden.
In my opinion, the methodology of your language school is outstanding, and I felt confident when I entered the CPE examination hall.
SWEDEN - MARIA, CPE and PHILOSOPHY
Just a note to say thank you! I suppose that most of your CPE students also receive Grade A; nevertheless, my warmest thanks!
SWITZERLAND - PETRA, CPE
I would just like to let you know that I have achieved a Grade A at my CPE exam in June this year. Thanks for your support! Best regards from the stunning Swiss Alps.
SWITZERLAND - PIERRE, CAE
I can finally inform you I passed my CAE with the Grade C. I could probably have done better, but my challenge was only to be successful. I thank you sincerely for your help, especially when you corrected my poor essays.
TAIWAN - SONIA, CPE
Many thanks for your great style of work and wonderful skill in teaching, as well as your patient with my performance. I have the feeling that during this programme I have acquired more knowledge than from all previous courses. Many thanks indeed!
TAIWAN - SONIA, CPE
I got my CPE result! Apparently, I was judged excellent for Reading, very good for Writing and Listening, good for Use of English, and OK for Speaking.
The overall result is a 'B'; I was quite surprised how few candidates received a Grade B!
Again, many thanks for your continuous academic support and guidance. I've learnt very much and hopefully taken this experience on board for my future teaching and learning.
