I think the best decision for
learning English is taking classes in TIEP. The
teachers are wonderful, kind, and helpful. Before
my English class I couldn't understand English
very well. Now I'm improving my English every
day. I can go out without fear. Understanding
is the most important thing. With that I can use
everything I have learned in my classes. I hope
to learn more and more English because I need
it for everything I want to do. TIEP is the best
choice! - Angela Lievano from Colombia
I'm so glad that I made the right decision choosing
TIEP. First of all, I found there enthusiastic
and excellent teachers, who have a lot of experience.
In addition to their support in class, I could
learn a lot by frequenting the skills center and
the computer lab, and also by joining a conversation
club group. And my TOEFL score. Wow, I couldn¡¯t
believe it. After one semester in level 138 and
half a semester in 158, my TOEFL score was 633!
I¡¯m positive that TIEP is one of the BEST schools
for ESL in America!
Second of all, TIEP is located within walking
distance of the University of Texas and its facilities,
student dormitories and public transportation,
which made things easier to me to enjoy life in
Austin. Finally, I feel glad to have met there
such nice people from different countries and
made a lot of friends. - Lucila Barbosa
from Brazil
I have had a lot of new experiences in Austin.
First of all, this is my first time to live with
an American family and speak English all the time.
Before I came to TIEP, I hadn't studied at an
English school. Second, I experienced holidays
of the United States, for example, Halloween,
Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's
Day. Third, I attended the South by Southwest
Music and Film Festival in Austin. In my memory
Austin is a wonderful place. I am glad to come
here and happy to meet all of my friends in TIEP.
