“I took AEPP because I was worried about my English before coming. And I definitely made the right decision! My English was improved not only by gaining more language learning skills, but also by being more confident and more willing to express myself and learning from others. My instructor James was always patient and open to all my questions and suggestions. I also want to say ‘thank you’ for my dearest classmates for always supporting me and encouraging me for everything. We are now very close friends and I know they will be always with me.

“To make the most of your time at the AEPP, do your best to get to know people. Do not be afraid of not speaking perfect English. We will get to that point one day. You will be surprised about how amazing the other students are and what incredible stories they have!”
