Portland English Language Academy

I had learned English at PELA for 24 weeks since last October. At the first time, I couldn't talk to another students because I was so shy, and most students are older than me. But, PELA has many activities such as happy hour and party. Then, thanks to many opportunities I was able to spend six months happily. And above all, I could get not only English skills but also the opinions of various people through the classes.

It was an incredible experience! Since the first day of class, I've met incredible people who have become friends. the period I went was also the best because the classes are big compared to other months. and even then there are not so many people, in each room there was an average of 10 people at most. I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world.

In general the experience was very good, the teachers are really qualify and they always wanted to make you that you understood the lessons, the location is perfect. I would have liked to had more activities inside the school not only the ones that you have to paid to go. I really liked the environment.

I’m really a man who had the most beautiful experience in PELA. The school, my classes, my friends, my time in Portland (amazing city), etc, everything so much special for me. I am so glad now because I had the chance to know PELA. I really can't choose the best teacher because all of them were so special to me. They are friendly, highly competent, cheerful and serious.
I am so thankful to all of them, and I mean each one of them. PELA is not just one more school for foreign students. PELA is like a big family, with the teachers, the students and the staff.
Of course, I recommend it to anyone who wants to study English.
If you want only one sentence to explain my experience, I will really say: PELA, THANKS VERY MUCH. TEACHERS, THANKS VERY MUCH!!!

I liked the location, the teacher, students and staff; they were respectful and friendly, but the learning was not at a high level.

My experience was good with the school. We had very good and friendly teachers. Moreover, the school was very well situated. The only other thing I could say is that you need to do more to school activities on weekends such as organizing trips to other sites and places such as Portland, which has many beautiful places. The family I lived with were excellent; they were very friendly people and had good food.
