“I made a good choice by going to Access. Teachers are professional and want to make sure you reach a good level of knowledge. Although they help students, the program requires discipline and effort from students. The course gave me good skills in English to be able to continue learning by myself. The landlord at my homestay was very kind and friendly toward me and the location was very convenient near the subway.”
