This is a writing from our lovely student Arisa before she left to go back home.

I stayed in NZ for 11 months.
Basically I stayed in Nelson for 8 months, Wellington for 2 months and tauranga for 1 months. And I traveled around the North island and the South Island with my family and friends as well.
I came to NZ for working holiday so most of time I'm working. i worked in the restaurants, the backpackers and the farm as well.
Actually working as a waiter in foreign country was my dream and I could do it so I'm very proud of me. It was really hard because my English was not good enough, I had lots of mistakes and sometimes my boss yelled at me. So when I started to work there often I cried. But I could learnt lots of things and became so much stronger.
One of the reasons why I worked hard is to earn money for going back to Bay Learning Academy.
Actually I had been at this school 2 years ago.
When I graduated this school I decided to come back again. And then I could come back :)! The other dream came true!!
I was so happy to be a student here again. Every teacher still remembered me!! Can't believe it!!
I went to this school for 1 month and now my big travel has finished. Through this travel I could grow up mentally so much and make a lot of amaizing friends and also I found again the importance of my family and friends who are living in Japan.
This 1 year become absolutely my treasure.
Never forget :)! Thank YOU.

 Happy 2022 We are now open and starting the new year with new courses. Take a look and let us know what you would like to enrol in. 
 We had a lovely visit from Byung Sook Gong this week. She had been a student here earlier in the year. She was a dedicated student and her English improved a lot. Just shows you are never too old to learn something new.  It was lovely catching up with her and her family, we miss her. 

TESOL January 2020

Our latest TESOL course was a great success. All three ladies passed with 'Strong Passes'. All three came with very different experiences and strengths. Sandra is from Catalonia, it was great to have the input from a non-native speaker. Heather is going to use her new ESOL skills in the classroom and Katie will be off travelling the world very soon.
