Students Voice

One of the things I liked most about IIE Hawaii was that I couldn't speak Portuguese, so I was always encouraged to practice my English. Also, every day there were some different dynamics such as games and discussions about different topics, so if you don't know enough vocabulary, that's when you learn. It was perfect.

BEATRIZ FERNANDES Brazil

I studied at IIE for 6 months. I come from Japan. I was so glad to restart studying English as part of the start of a new life. I found the way to my new life studying here. IIE taught me the fun of speaking English. I found that communicating with people from other countries was wonderful. I appreciate my family who pushed me and all the friends I met in Hawaii.

YOSHI TSUJIOKA Japan

I found IIE through the internet in Korea. All of the teachers are kind at IIE. When I ask something, their help is always really really useful. If you study abroad for the first time, I want to recommend IIE to you. I really like Hawaii's weather, and you will too!

I heard the students at IIE are great, so I chose to come here. You can learn English quickly, and all of the teachers are nice. I enjoyed attending IIE activities in my free time. I was glad to meet you guys, and will tell my friends, "If you want to learn English well come to IIE"

AYSEGUL Turkey

"I had some opportunities to speak English before I came to Hawaii, but I could review my grammar and speak correct English after I started taking the General English Program (GEP) at GV Hawaii. I also felt that the content of my English conversation has become richer. In the GEP, there are many things that can be complemented by studying with classmates of various nationalities and ages, and students can enjoy learning English while helping each other. GV is conveniently and safely located across the street from the Ala Moana Shopping Center. At first, I was confused by the diverse students, but now I am enjoying it very much. I think it's good that GV has its English Only policy and the environment where you can relax and enjoy learning. "

Mamiko Academic Year Program (Japan)

"My five days only in English at GV Hawaii was very special that I had never experienced before. After joining the Cambridge YLE program, I strongly desire to improve my English and to be able to talk to people from all over the world! I am glad to find myself feeling this way now. When I was in Japan, I was busy studying for English exams, but this program reminded me of how FUN learning English is. I could visit various places in Hawaii through the activities. I especially enjoyed painting at the clay cafe. As a memory of the last summer of elementary school, I was happy to have such a valuable experience. I want to continue to do my best in learning English! "

Rina Cambridge YLE (Japan)

“I like the school because both the teachers and the classmates are very nice. The teacher teaches English with diverse methods, which makes learning fun and interesting. There are many places to go to, such as the beach and the zoo. The weather is pleasant, not as hot as back home.”

Ruei Yu Cambridge YLE (Taiwan）

“The atmosphere at GV Hawaii is really nice and easy-going. We have a big meeting conference table so we can easily get along with each other and come up with good ideas. School activities are the best. Especially the island trips and snorkeling with the dolphins. I had a lot of opportunities to talk and be friends with other students during the activities!”
