I was very lucky to go with one of the best teachers in the school, you can tell that she loves her job and teaching, organized, specific and hard-working. At school I felt very comfortable and the atmosphere was very familiar and close.
Small group study and efficient curriculum and atmosphere is cozy.I was so lucky to have 2 vest teacher who helped me to improve my IELTS score.

WIE.
Best school in my life experience.
I like the teachers there, they are very nice. This facilities are also enough, and i liked the common room most. The lessons overall were fun and joyful.
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
