Testimonials
Juliana / Brazil
Before I came to Australia I read a book about it. I was excited just reading about Australia, but now I can say that actually being here is even better than what was written in that book!
In the beginning it was hard. I missed my family, my house, my friends, my dog and the food! But I knew that I had to make the most of my stay and enjoy it as much as I could. After 7 months here I'm really happy, because I feel that I have achieved most of my goals. I have a good level of English, I've worked in different places and I've travelled around Australia. But the most exciting thing that has happened to me on my trip was making so many new friends in such a short time.
For me, studying at SELC in a class with so many different nationalities was a great experience. It helped me learn more about other cultures and gave me the opportunity to make new friends from all over the world. It's already 10 weeks since I arrived at SELC and yet it seems as if it was only last week!
Daniela / Switzerland
My name is Daniela, I'm 21 years old, and I come from Switzerland. These days, you can't get by without English but, unfortunately, we're not always motivated to learn English when we're going through school. However, here at SELC it's quite different. We're given every possible encouragement
Why SELC?
Having trained as a teacher myself, I was quite particular when looking for a school that suited me. I wanted a place where the students could take an active part in the learning process and where the teachers fully take your level into consideration and build up your self-confidence. And this is the place for that! The proof? After just a couple of months I could converse in English on almost any topic with Australians or foreigners. And the reason is that I was helped to develop the confidence to do this. Finally, I can honestly say that what I found here has exceeded my expectations: excellent rapport with the teachers, a welcoming school and a city which buzzes. What I find most touching is the wonderful relationships that develop between students of different nationalities. This, for me, is the most memorable aspect of my great adventure in Australia. |
