"The most wonderful and very rewarding."

Kiratika Junton, student from Thailand

I really like about teachers who tought me because they Intend to teach and attentive students. For about my class I like it although sometimes I feel worried, but was passed. I like school's location because it's near the supermarket. It's very convenient for me to shop. And about the housing and facilities I really love it because it is very comfortable for me, so sorry that I cannot comment about the activities because I've never been to join it..

"Unforgettable experience in a beautiful country."

Roman

It was my first time studying abroad. I had read a lot of information about the country and city before I went there, but it was difficult to find some feedback about this school. My friend from Taiwan recommended this school to me and I decided to stay at 3D Academy. The second reason why I chose 3D is the price. It was cheaper than at other schools and they have programs to prepare for the IELTS exams.

After a test I received my schedule with classes and on Tuesday I started studying. It was really interesting and challenging because I had to speak only in English all the time. During that time I was the only student from Russia so I didn't have another option, only English.

The school provides a lot of group classes: IELTS, TOEIC, Business class, Speech class, Class with natives, etc. In my case I focused on IELTS (Writing, Listening, Speaking) and Reading as homework. I really appreciate my teachers, who are true professionals. They really know what to do and they helped me a lot.

Also, I would like to mention something about the school meals. Food there was varied and delicious. Sometimes I found some similarity with Russia's cuisine (chicken soup, potatoes with meat, vegetables salad, bread).

Another advantage that I want to add is location. Just a few minutes from school there is an IT-park where you can go after classes by taxi, but I preferred to go there by motorcycle. Just 15 Pesos!

Also, I suppose I should say that there were some problems. 3D Academy is not a new school and some facilities definitely need to be renovated. Sometimes I noticed problems with the internet connection, but this problem is common for the whole country.
In some rooms and in the library the air conditioner was broken so students were forced to do their homework in the school's cafe. But all of these problems were not so serious and staff tried to resolve everything that happened.

I strongly recommend this school to everyone who wants to improve their English and who are doubting right now. It was an unforgettable experience!

"Best ever!"

Kim Young Min

I really enjoyed studying at 3D Academy. There are many good teachers who are kind, experienced and well-trained. In addition, they have the most important thing, which is passion. They have enthusiasm to teach foreign students. While I was there, I could feel that they have that. For beginners, they tried to understand and help them to express their opinion with patience. For high level students, they pointed out which part is the weakest and help them to have better English skills.

Talking about staying at the 3D Academy, the building looks old, but I didn't feel uncomfortable. Twice a week, kind, friendly, diligent staff clean and change the bed covers and sheets. There is also staff for laundry. The only thing I had to do at 3D was study and make friends with foreign students.

There are still many things I want to talk about. 3D Academy's strong points were the wifi speed, a convenient location, food of quality, etc. I guarantee all students who study at 3D will have the same opinion as I do.

"Surprisingly satisfied and happy every day"

lin ting yi

Honestly speaking, I love 3D.
I am very satisfied with 3D.
I love the teachers and also friends there.
The teachers are better than I expected. Their attitude, pronunciation, grammar skills and English level, etc.

The location of 3D is very convenient.
The facilities of 3D are old but I still can use them.
The activities of 3D are few but meaningful and fun.
The housing of 3D is very good for me.

I like my teachers, friends, and cheap price.
But I dislike the heavy air pollution.

"Every day I expect to learn and improve my English skills, because I know I will change my life through English."

wu chen yeh

In English demo we can exchange different ideas. It helps us understand what's different in different countries. In speech class I can correct my pronunciation and get used to hearing other Asian people's pronunciation.
In one-to-one classes, some teachers teach you correct grammars, others improve your English speaking skills. They help you use English well and take care of you.
Even if you can't give them complete sentences, they still understand and give you what you want.
That's why many students and teachers become friends.
School location is easily discovered and very convenient. You can go anywhere if you take a taxi or jeepney.
You have time to visit and know this city, it creates many special experiences in your life.
But part of facilities like the desks and chairs in the library should be retired; for example, some desktops are not fixed.
