This testimonial is my way to personally thank the EC staff for the support and kindness they have shown me throughout these unforgettable months.

Almost a year ago I moved to Miami and looked around for a place to learn English. I found many acceptable options, however something brought me to choose EC and I'm really glad I did. Thanks to EC's motivated teachers, today I feel much more comfortable with the language. And I could say the same for most of the students I've met along my path. No matter how many there were in the school, none of us was ever left behind or excluded. A team of extraordinary people was always there to track our personal improvements and give us advice on how to reach our goals. We always received individual attention but were encouraged to be a group, where different cultures were discovered and respected. And this is probably what I loved and appreciated the most, because it showed me another world I thought to know, but actually did not.

I should also mention the great job the administration did managing our visas or accommodations, and the enthusiasm the front desk showed every time a new activity was going to be organized. However, it's the friendly yet professional atmosphere I have breathed at EC Miami that I'll miss the most. A unique experience I deeply wish many other students live as soon as possible.
