I liked the INTEGRATED SKILLS class because it was fun and we always talked and talked and talked about different topics. It was very interesting.
Franzel, Switzerland



My grammar has not been very good until now; I was always confused. But I like my SPEAKING & LISTENING class because it can give me more confidence and keep me learning English.
Vicky, Taiwan



I really liked my SPEAKING & LISTENING classes because there is no better way to practice than this, and PELA teachers really know how to get students to talk!
Ibrahim, Turkey



The INTENSIVE ENGLISH Program really fits my needs. The teachers are all passionate about teaching and I really had a great time in PELA. Grammar is normally a nightmare, but at PELA I felt that I made progress everyday!
Jipo, Taiwan



In my classes I learned how to get into university. My teacher gave me advice about how to take the TOEFL. My classes really improved my speaking and listening.
Francois, France



I wouldn't have passed the test without this TOEFL class, that's for sure! The way they teach the TOEFL was a very good exercise for the brain and is helping me with my classes at university. It was very helpful!
Anya, Russia



I totally like my TOEFL teacher's style! He knows the best way of teaching TOEFL. Even if I don't completely understand, he explains it to me again...it makes me feel relief.
Rui, Japan



I really liked the TOEFL class. He taught us many methods which were easy to understand, and he created a good mood in the classroom. He is the best teacher that I ever took TOEFL classes with.
Hiroko, Japan



I love everything about my TOEIC class! For me, the class size (only 6-8 students) is perfect, and the balance of individual practice and group work is great. Also, the way that we make sentences using new vocabulary is really good. A good teacher, new techniques…it’s a fun class!
Nayyaf, Saudi Arabia



My TOEIC teacher was friendly, so learning with him was a game and a pleasure!
Meng-Sen, Taiwan



I'm really satisfied with my INTERNSHIP. I met a bunch of nice people at the Portland Art Museum—this experience will be a good advantage when I try to get a job.
Hye-in, South Korea



PELA helped me a lot to get me an INTERNSHIP which was just perfect for me. I think my internship will be one of the best experiences I can possibly have in Portland.
Naoshi, Japan



Since I came here, I've experienced many kinds of VOLUNTEER work. All are great memories. I really appreciate the school staff's kindness.
Kenichi, Japan



To VOLUNTEER in the French American International School and help people to learn Spanish was fun. I felt very comfortable because I could learn and practice English at the same time I could teach them about Spanish.
Rebeca, Costa Rica
