Student Testimonials
I had General English class and IELTS class, and I think both classes were really helpful. In general English, I could say more fluently, it means that I learned many useful expressions and phrases. In IELTS class, I realised which subject I should study. So now I know more vocabs than before. Also, the teachers are really kind and funny.
I'm really satisfied with my class at GLC because the teachers are so nice, and I enjoy the lessons. Before coming here, I had never learned English from a native teacher, and I found that it makes a big difference. In my first class, I could hardly understand a few sentences. But now, I'm able to understand almost everything.
I studied English courses at GLC for 11 months, during which I made significant improvements in grammar, speaking, and listening. In the past, I was always afraid to speak with others in English, but through systematic learning and continuous practice, I am now able to confidently have fluent conversations with locals.
The teachers at GLC are very patient. They not only adjust the course content according to my learning progress but also encourage me to speak more and practice often, which has filled me with motivation and confidence throughout the learning process. It has really improved my English and made me braver in using it!
