Our teacher is very experienced and we are learning a lot of new things. She is very helpful and is always happy to give me extra work when I want to do more study in my free time. I am working hard and I can see how much my English is improving. I love it here.

– Sena Nur Arslan (Turkey): IELTS

I am really enjoying the course. The classes are small so you get lots of one-on-one time with your tutor and the environment is friendly. It’s very easy to make friends here. At the moment we are studying bartending in our EFH class, which is especially useful for me since I am working part-time as a bartender. I get to practice everything I am learning in class when I get to work each night.– Eleonore Watrin (Tahiti): EFH

I really enjoyed my time in the Upper Intermediate class. I was very impressed with my teacher. Her teaching methods were very clear and also a lot of fun. I was able to improve my grammar in a short period of time and I received enough additional support (such as grammar material) to continue improving my grammar at home. I was also very impressed with the facilities at Fern and enjoyed the daily lunches in the NZMA cafe.

I really like this school. On the first day my English was terrible and I found the first week pretty difficult! But it is a very friendly environment and the tutors are very good. They have helped me a lot and I have improved a great deal. It is much more relaxed in the classroom than it is back in Russia so I am really enjoying that. – Aliya Khabirova (Russia): IELTS

I’ve really loved the course. All the teachers here are really kind and friendly and I’ve made friends from all over the world. I have classmates from Russia, Korea, Turkey, Vietnam and Taiwan. I will be very sad to say goodbye to them all. Another good thing about Fern is that every Friday the school has an activity so I’ve been able to have a really good look around Auckland. Our class has been to Mission Bay, looked at volcanoes and done lots of other sightseeing activities. It’s been great! – Arisa Kinjo (Japan): General English
