“CELAC is a great place to develop our English skills. The classes and teachers gave us a lot of opportunities to learn English and different countries’ cultures.”
   - Hide Akai, Japan

“In my experience, the CELAC program is different than others. The classes are small so the teachers can pay more attention to each student. The teachers are nice and very helpful. If international students really want to improve their English, and follow the schedule, they should try CELAC. It’s the #1 choice!”
   - Shu-Mei Chen, Taiwan
