Amir Mahdavi, Tehran, Iran
“Thanks to the preparation I received from FSU’s English Language Programs, I gained admittance to graduate studies at Harvard University. FSU helped accelerate my learning process and improve my TOEFL score. I had five teachers at FSU and all of them were highly educated, motivated, and passionate in their job. They were really professional in teaching English to second-language-learners and helped me understand more about American culture and the education system. The environment at FSU is friendly and pleasant and there are many opportunities to interact with diverse classmates from all over the world. I definitely recommend the program to other students. By paying a modest tuition, students can enjoy small-size intensive courses and benefit from everything FSU offers to help ESL students become successful.”
London Baofang Zhang, Qingdao, Shangdong, China
“Studying English at FSU exceeded my expectations. The teachers were so professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. I realized how much I had learned at FSU when I got accepted into graduate school. Other people thought I had been in the United States much longer than I actually had because of my work on pronunciation skills at FSU. Many people tell me my accent is easy to understand. Also, FSU prepared me to make presentations for my graduate classes and my writing was better than expected for international students. I definitely recommend FSU to other students and friends because the courses are worth it and you will make long-lasting friendships!”
Lucas R. Souza, Ipatinga, Brazil
“I came to FSU so that I can study English with native speakers and get a good TOEFL score. I want to attend college in the U.S. and I feel that my studies in this program are getting me closer to achieving my goal. The courses have also been very enjoyable. The teachers are well-prepared and ready to answer the students’ questions. They also make the classroom a fun and relaxed environment and we do extra activities, like visiting the planetarium in the university, which contributed to our general knowledge and English development. I recommend this program to other students because I have improved in both my written and spoken English and I have had a great experience.”
Jungyoon Yoon, Seoul, South Korea
“I am studying at FSU English Language Programs to prepare for my enrollment in a dental program. The teachers here are very helpful and enthusiastic. Apart from all the academic support, teachers at FSU are always suggesting great books to read and interesting places to go. I have become more confident in communicating with others and have noticed improvement in my vocabulary and pronunciation skills. I have already started recommending this program to other people!”
Claudia Bautista, Guaraci, Sao Paul, Brazil
“I am studying English at FSU because being able to understand, speak, read, and write fluent English will give me a big advantage when I try to get a better job in Brazil. My teachers helped me with pronunciation techniques that make a big difference when I am talking to people. FSU is a great place to learn English because I have improved so much and because I have had a great time.”
