Hye-Sung Kwon:

I came here because our school is famous for specialized TOEIC and TESOL programs. I took a TOEIC course and afterwards I took TESOL. First, I think that the TOEIC class was so useful for me because the teacher explains a problem in detail. If I have a question, the teacher helps me. After TOEIC, I took the TESOL course. The TESOL course is very well-organized with a variety of teaching topics so we could experience many different teaching situations. Our school atmosphere is very friendly, so when we had to make a presentation or practice teaching, we could do it very happily. I enjoyed the TESOL class and I think I learned many things, how to learn, how to teach, and most importantly, when you teach, you have to be open-minded. When I go back to Korea, I'd like to teach English for young children. I really had a good time during my stay here. 
 
Patricio Martinez:

I chose this school because it is specialized and in my university in Mexico, we can show a high TOEIC score to be able to enter. What I like about the TOEIC course is that it is interactive and because of the structure of the course, I am able to pay attention during the whole class. Our school atmosphere is also very comfortable and after class all students share lunch and have conversation in English. My future plan is to finish university in Mexico and then enter Masters and Ph.D. programs in Vancouver, so it is very important for me to have perfect listening, grammar, vocabulary, and reading. I will accomplish my principal objective here in vancouver and get a high TOEIC score!
Sunny (Hyosun Choi): 

When I had a trial lesson, the teaching style was easy to understand as if I was learning English in Korean. I think this TOEIC class is good for improving not only TOEIC score but also grammar and vocabulary due to clear teaching. I just enjoyed learning grammar, reading, and listening with a well-organized course. All students and teacher are friendly. They make me comfortable like a family. I learned many things not only for English in this school. I had a really good experience here. After I go back to Korea, I want to get a job where I can keep speaking English.

 
Yohei Kakinuma:

I would rate the TESOL program as excellent! I really enjoyed the program. This program is quite sophisticated and well-organized. It was new and exciting for me to study from a teacher's point of view. I learned a lot in class, but the teacher is the best example of how to teach. In my opinion, In this course I learned something more valuable than just information from the books. I learned the importance of the teaching process itself. My plan for the future is to become a tour guide in Japan because in the TESOL program I learned how to lead groups of people and I also have confidence in my knowledge about tourism and hospitality. This has been a very valuable experience for me.
Yuka Sato:

I came to ATC because when I looked at its website, the atmosphere of the school was cozy and friendly. As for the TOEIC course, it's very exciting because every day we can study grammar, listening, reading, and vocabulary. Classmates and the teacher are always friendly and easy to talk to. Sometimes at lunch we hold a casual party and it makes our relationships stronger. I'm interested in the trade business so in my future I want to learn business English and get 900 TOEIC score. Thank you for everything!! Every class and lunch time were fantastic and unforgettable!

 
 Misato Mizota:

I chose this school because I wanted to study TOEIC and saw an advertisement on the internet. I wasn't good at grammar, but now I can enjoy studying! We have a vocabulary quiz every day, so I can remember a lot of words which is very useful. The school atmosphere makes me feel very at home. We can also ask our teacher any questions, both in class and after class. I feel very comfortable here. Later in Japan, I would like to have a job which I use English in. I also would like to go traveling. It is going to be fun and easy for me to travel when I am overseas. I am learning a lot of things in school. But the thing which I learned the most in school is how fun it is to study. Thank you!

Sing (Song Won Lee):

Nowdays many companies need a TOEIC score and I wanted to go to a specialized TOEIC school, so I choose ATC. This is a high quality school and everyone here is friendly, so I feel comfortable learning here. What I like about the TOEIC course is the teaching style. For example, if we don't know how to solve a difficult grammar or vocabulary question, the teacher shows us how to reach the answer by giving us easier examples. After reading exercises, we compare our answers with our partners and try to agree about the correct answers. This helps us to go more deeply into the reading and gives us more confidence to answer as a team. If youfre interested in a specialized TOEIC school, I recommend ATC. In the future, I would like to work in Koreafs best food company, NongShim, and I would like to make it one of the best companies in the world.


 
Tomoko Takahashi:

I chose to study at ATC because I felt it was the best school among the ones where I took trial lessons. The school is specialized for TOEIC and there are few students in each class and there is a good balance of listening, reading, and grammar. We have a practice test every Friday and I really like the atmosphere in the class and in the study room after the class. The school is friendly, warm, and very clean. We have a great teacher who is very kind and takes his time for students in and out of class. I'd like to study at ATC longer. It's one of the best schools I've ever gone to. I recommend ATC to all my friends!

Maiko Goto:

Before deciding which school to go to, I took trial lessons in a few schools, and I felt that ATC was the most suitable for me. The teacher knows which areas of language students have difficulty with and his explanation is well-organized and easy to understand. Also, his way of using the time is so effective that students can keep concentrating during the entire class. I gained a lot of knowledge at ATC and I will keep studying for TOEIC. I felt that the teaching style here is very effective and I strongly recommend this school to other students.


Kline (Young-Ju) Lee:

I'm taking a TOEIC class at ATC. I'm very happy to know this school. During class I'm relaxed and comfortable so I can learn better. I have made many foreign friends here and after class we always talk in English about various topics, so I'm learning about different cultures and lifestyles too. My English skill is improving a lot and I hope to enter a university next year. If you want to learn English well and make many foreign friends, you can do that here. You can accomplish your purpose!

Yosuke Shimizu:

The course is well-balanced with grammar, vocabulary, listening, and reading. This is excellent. I can easily understand even very difficult grammar points with clear explanations,. The teacher gives us a lot of example sentences, step by step, and shows us how to reach the difficult points. I'm pleased I could study in such a good atmosphere, with clean classrooms, relaxing music in the lounge, and chess competitions after class.



Ayaka Niki:

I like the class, which is so useful, and the school atmosphere. Even though we have a lot of homework and vocabulary quizzes every day, it's good for us. Also, we speak only English in school, so we can practice our conversation skills. My TOEIC score improved 130 points during this course. When I was in Japan, I worked for a trading company. I'd like to work work in the same type of company again in an English-speaking country.

Anna (Myung Hee Kim):

This is my first time to be interested in TOEIC. The teacher's skill and enthusiasm and the school's comfortable atmosphere make me inspired. I want to study with him continuously. The practice test on Fridays is also very useful for me. It feels like a real TOEIC test. When it comes to TOEIC, managing the time is my big problem. I need a lot of practice, so I like this school. I've got confidence, since I started studying here. I'm sure that if I study here, I can get a high score.
 
Miho Ogawa:

I came to ATC because one of my friends recommended it to me. It was the first time for me to study TOEIC, and I thought studying TOEIC wouldn't be so interesting, but I realized it was interesting and I felt I was improving day by day. The teacher's style was very effective and thanks to him I could study with fun. The school's atmosphere is very comfortable and I was able to get close to other students and it felt I was with my own family. I work as a writer, so studying in this school will help my job a lot in the future!
Yoko Ishikawa:

I came to this school because I wanted to get a high TOEIC score which proves my English skills and helps me to get a job in Japan. I like the teaching style a lot. We have vocabulary quizzes every day and practice TOEIC tests every Friday. It's really a good chance to know my improvement. This school is calm and clean and the soft music playing in the lounge makes me relaxed. After class many students play chess together. It's exciting and fun. Later, I want to find a job as a receptionist at a hotel. I'm studying English and Korean now. My dream is to become a trilingual person.

Ryoko Inoue:

I came to ATC because I liked the teacher's style. The teacher takes care of every student, and if we have difficulty, he explains very clearly. Also, we can learn everything we need like grammar, vocabulary, listening, and reading. I also like the practice TOEIC test every Friday because it 's good training for concenration.This course was useful to me not only for TOEIC, but also for improving my English in general. In the future, I would like to work for a company which is international. I really recommend this school :)

It's easy to talk to the teacher and the other classmates because everybody here is very nice. My plan for the future is to continue to study TOEIC and I want to speak English clearly and be able to understand people's speech. By the way, I finally got a high TOEIC score today. I think I improved a lot on how to solveTOEIC questions!




Akiko Bandai:

I came to this school because I was interested in TOEIC and wanted to study English grammar. Here at ATC I can learn all English skills (grammar, listening, reading). I took a vocabulary quiz every day so I could learn a lot of new words. Also, we speak only English at school, so I could practice my conversation skills with other students.I could ask the teacher questions any time I wanted and after the teacher's explanations I always understood clearly. The teacher is so kind and friendly and I was very comfortable here. I improved my TOEIC score more than 100 points! I will try the official TOEIC test again in Japan. Thank you so much!! I didn't like English before, but I enjoy studying English now! I will continue to study English and I want to travel all over the world!

Satoko Ando:

The TOEIC course was excellent for me. I could learn grammar, reading, and listening efficiently. It was also effective for me to take a vocabulary quiz every day. I was very satisfied with the lessons and wish I could study here longer. I really appreciate that I could learn so much here. When I go back to japan, I'll try to continue to study English. I hope you can establish a branch of this school in Osaka :)  



Mami Kawano:

Even though my English level is not very high, it is not hard to get used to taking a class in this school because the teacher is an expert on teaching especially TOEIC students. For my future goals, I' d like to be able to make jokes in English :) and I want to get a job using English (travel agency, trading company, and so on).

The course was very helpful and all of the students are very nice.

My friends introduced me to this school. They said that the teaching style is so good and to study grammar in English is so interesting. When I tried the class, I realized that what they said was totally true, so I decided to continue to study here. Thanks to this school, I can review correct grammar and make sure I speak the correct way. In the future, I'd like to work for a travel agency using English. I want to create plans and arrange tours for foreigners to visit Japan and present them with so many things that Japan can offer.


Gyeong Suk Kim:

I was looking for a school and I found ATC on the internet and TOEIC seemed like a great way to improve my English. Here we can study grammar, reading, listening, and vocabulary. I learned grammar in Korea, but at that time I didn't understand it well, but now at ATC it's easier for me to understand grammar even though I am taught in English. Here we can study in a comfortable atmosphere during and after class. Learning a foreign language is interesting, especially if you can see how much you have improved! I hope to use English in my workplace in the future!
Ikumi Minagoshi:

When I tried the class, it was really clear to understand, so I decided to take this course to study. What I like about this school is that it's very friendly and it's comfortable spending time here to study. In the future, I plan to provide relaxation space for people.

Hiromi Otsuka:
When I took a trial lesson here, all of the students and the teacher were so kind to me. My English level is intermediate and I had never taken a TOEIC test before, so I was worried about studying TOEIC, but I understand this school's lessons really well. When I had difficrulty sometimes, the teacher encouraged me and that helped me a lot. After two weeks, my score on the practice test improved 100 points. When I go back to Japan, I want to stay motivated and keep studying English.


Sachiyo Sasakura:

I saw the school information in a Japanese magazine and decided to try the class. I like the school atmosphere. The teacher is very good at explaining complex English grammar and TOEIC questions. My TOEIC score improved more than 200 points after taking this course. In the future, I might look for a job which is related to an English language school.
Ayako Okuyama:

We have a very kind and skillful teacher. His explanation is very clear and he always encourages us to study hard. I want to get a good score on TOEIC, but I don't want to study only for that . I want to imrove my English in all areas. Here I can study vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and we speak only English in the school. In the future, I want to use English at work. I am going to find a job as an office worker for an international trading company

My goal is to get a TOEIC score over 860!!
Natsuki Ito:

I chose this school because I can study TOEIC quite comfortably here. The teacher is also friendly and always thinking about the students. It's good for us to be able to take a class by small numbers. Through this course, we can ask the teacher questions at once. Ali has taught us not only the answer to the questions, but also the "how to" of TOEIC. We can learn a lot of things in his class. I haven't decided yet about my future, but I'm sure that I want to work in a job where I can use English.


Yukari Vanstone:

I chose this school because I wanted to focus on grammar, which is my weakness. I like the way our teacher teaches us. He explains something that we don't understand until we understand it completely. My goal is to work as a massage therapist using proper English.








yasuyuki Kurata:

I decided to study here because I like this school's style. My TOEIC score improved by 100 points after coming here. I really like the English-only policy in the school so all students speak only Enlish here which is good for us. In the future, if possible, I'd like to work using English.
