Student Testimonial

It was a NICE and MAGNIFICENT experience to have taken the course. All Teachers, their accent, their knowledge, their willingness to serve. They were willing to always help us with good attitude, it was wonderful! I want to thank you because the English course was a great opportunity. It was totally new for me to do it online and if someday I need to take classes I will do it the same way. – Marcela

For me it is a new but also positive experience and it’s a great chance to improve my English skills and be better prepared for the future, everything from the safety of home. The opportunity to choose my own schedule during the day was an advantage because I didn’t miss classes even with my busy job. Also, as an ex VGC student I can say that the good quality as well as the patience of the teachers is still one of the best features of this school even in a distance modality. – Alexis

It is a fascinating experience taking Express English on-line for me. The curriculum has been arranged in a such perfect way to help me improve my speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through online courses. VGC’s teachers are very passionate about their job. So, I very feel comfortable to learn English from the teachers with my classmates who are in different time zones virtually. I find it to be an amazing, engaging, and interactive online class. I would definitely recommend taking the Express English. It is a great way for us to improve our English skills and gain the confidence to express our ideas in English. – Hsin-Yi, Taiwan

At first I was nervous about taking online classes because it was my first time and was not sure how the class would be. However, all of the teachers I had were amazing and it was very fun studying with my classmates as well. Teachers were sharing material through monitors and went through it together, so it was easier than what I thought it would be. Also, what I liked about this course is we could choose to take classes in the morning, afternoon or both! It makes it easy to manage your time and the best part is you can take classes anywhere in the world! Thank you to all the amazing teachers that helped make my online class an enjoyable and fun filled learning experience. I really enjoyed this course, so much so, I would recommend taking these classes through the VCG and hope one day to take it again if I have opportunity. – Fumika, Japan
