In generell the school was good where I as studying enghlish. The people are friendly and tried me to help when I need help. According this we had a lot of fun.
In the beginning there was some ativities like IELTS pre exams witch I enjoyed very much. After a time it leaves out because there are no letter for filling out. Unfourtenally from this time I coudnt enjoy this time of activity. On the toilett there was no paper towel during my studies on this school. Also the parking situation was difficult.
I attending a morning class and a afternoon class with different teacher. The teacher in the morning class had a way of teaching that I found repugnant. So I coudnt exploit full potential. I remember me I had a presentation and this teacher interruppted me very rude so I coulnt concentrate me on the rest of the presentation. I never forget this situation, because I field so ahamed for this situation. I never recommended this teacher for other students.
On the other hand the teacher in the afternoon class teached very good and I enjoined this class.

The teachers are very different. Joan was the best theater, he is very good.
With Vera we have to write a lot of exercises, I wold like to speak. With Joan we have time to speak together about a story or other things.
The rooms are old in your school, without windows, I think you can renovation the rooms, and the school look nicer.

I liked my course at WIE because we had a small class, the tutors were helpful and very nice. They will answer your questions and explain it clearly and the best way to learn for an IELTS test. It is located at the center of Hamilton city, two minutes to the bus transport station and surrounded by shopping mall.

I enjoyed a lot studying in Hamilton, it was a nice place. Also, I liked WIE - the teachers were qualified and everybody was ready to help when I had any questions. The location was really nice too, inside a mall, which was great for breaks. We had activities on Tuesdays, and they were very fun. I met a lot of people from other countries studying there, too.

My personal experience at the WIE has been definitely positive! I've made new friends among my classmates and I have also met new interesting people from different cultures and countries. My teacher Jillian has been amazing, friendly and very professional. She helped me a lot dealing with my English mistakes, and supporting me in my weak parts of the language. Thanks Jillian!
About the location in my opinion is excellent. It's central, easy to reach both by walk and by bus, so it's really handy. Facilities are good and there are many interesting activities to keep you going with socialization and new friendships! I have enjoyed so much WIE environment and I suggest this school for international students because it's specialized in helping people with their English!

The first time I came to WIE. I was so nervous because my English was very weak and I was not confident to speak English but when the nerve had gone. I feel much more confident to speak English. I studied very hard and I got support from my lovely teachers that was pulling me up. I also like the location of WIE, it is in the central place with lots of shops. I wouldn't worry about anything that I can't find. WIE is like my second home.It gave me lots of experience to live in NZ. Thank you WIE
