Students' testimonials


What do you like most about AF International College?


"I love to spend time with students from all parts of the world. The teachers and Ms. Andrea, our directress, are friendly and polite. I feel comfortable with the treatment the school gives to its students. Alexis is my teacher. She is a very good and professional. I can feel that she really likes to teach. She is very patient with me because I talk a lot. =)

I don't like having to say goodbye when a student leaves. Otherwise I'm very happy to be in AFI because it makes me feel like I'm at home. For students like me who are far away from home, it is so important to learn. But the good thing is we feel happy while we're learning."

The director welcomes everybody all the time with her beautiful smile and I like that.  The most important thing is your English will improve while studying here."

"Since I'm new here, I don't have much to say but so far, it's been great.  I'm learning a lot not only from my teachers but from my classmates too because we are all from different countries.  I'm hoping I can improve my English while being here."
