TESTIMONIALS
INTRODUCTION
When our prospective students go looking for information about our school and the TOEFL Preparation course
that we offer, they want to know more than how much we charge. They also want to know what kind of service we provide,
and they want to get an idea for what kind of experience they will have with our school. Therefore, they go looking for
information about what others have had to say. The most common source of this information online is feedback. The comments
and suggestions of our students and alumni are very important to us since they help us make the educational process at Terra
Nova as close to perfection as possible. It is also very important that all our prospective students see this feedback here,
which proves the educational process at Terra Nova to be truly democratic and open for constructive criticism. This page contains reviews and testimonials submitted by our
students in the 2006-2007 academic year. We would like to thank them all most sincerely for sharing their ideas,
opinions, experiences, and feelings. We deeply appreciate their contributions!

I think that TOEFL Prep at Terra Nova English Language Center is
very useful to people who want to improve their English and pass
the TOEFL test. This course helps you learn more about the
structure of the test and gives you an opportunity to do the same
types of questions that you will see on the actual TOEFL iBT
test. The atmosphere in the class is very friendly. The lessons
are very interesting. You can learn a lot of new things for
yourself. If you are interested in taking the TOEFL iBT test, I
recommend with confidence that you take Andrei's TOEFL
Preparation course first, you will like it.

Dear Andrei,
All people by nature desire knowledge. I think that your course
of TOEFL preparation had a great influence on my English
language. Knowing you gave me an opportunity to understand that
learning a foreign language can be very interesting and exciting.
While studying at Terra Nova, I found a lot of interesting
grammar and lexical structures, and realized for the second time
in my life that contribution makes people happy and lively.

It was great to study at Terra Nova English Language Center! If I
could, I would take the TOEFL Preparation course again. I feel
that I really improved my English skills. Thank you very much,
Andrei, for having an interesting time. Also, thanks for the
candies! :) And for interesting movies! Thanks for being tactful
and understanding with all of us. I wish you great students!
Thanks for all!!!

Dear Andrei!
Thank you very much, all the lessons were very interesting. The
books, candy, tea... everything was great! :) It was really very
exciting to learn new things. Of course, I personally did not
manage to learn everything because I didn't have enough time.
Nevertheless, I learned a lot. I think I will attend your TOEFL
Prep class again (for the third time).
Best regards,

I hope that one day every instructor and teacher in Moldova will
be like Andrei Fiodorov. He is professional and shows a great
attitude to his job and students. Andrei helped me a lot with my
TOEFL and my English in general.
Future students! You must join Andrei's TOEFL Prep course! He is
the best of the best! I feel really proud to be Andrei's
student.
Sincerely,
Andrei Dmitriev,

People,
English is important for each of us. Nowadays to get a well-paid
job or to apply to a good American university we need an
excellent knowledge of English. Having learned this language, we
are able to converse with people from all over the world because
English is an international language. Just one piece of advice -
study hard!!!

I advise all students with an advanced level of English to join
the course because it will help you improve your speaking and
other English language skills. Even if you are not going to pass
the TOEFL test... When you start the course, please try to be
more serious. Don't miss the classes because nobody will wait for
you, because each time you miss you find it more and more
difficult to continue. Try to get everything from the course; it
continues for 3.5 months only, and this space of time goes by
very quickly. At the end, you feel like starting everything from
the beginning. So, use your time efficiently.

It was a very helpful and interesting course, rather academic,
where I found a lot of interesting things, related not only to
the English language but also to general knowledge. At the
moment, I am not planning to pass the TOEFL test because I still
want to improve some aspects of my English. Andrei helped us to
understand what we should expect to see on the actual TOEFL test,
how to pass it successfully, and simultaneously we improved our
grammar, speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills. Thank
you!!!

A very helpful class for those who aspire to study abroad. The
class is divided in two parts: a grammar, style, and vocabulary
review and actual preparation for the test. The instructor is
highly qualified, ready to explain any issue and help anyone. The
class is taught in different hours and on different days, so it
could fit into anybody's schedule. Highly recommended!!!

It was very interesting and useful for me to attend this course.
In class, I found out many new things about English, the things
that I hadn't known and, in my opinion, many of the students
hadn't studied before. Andrei always tried to make the lessons
interesting and exciting by paying attention to any question
raised by the students, explaining it in detail, and providing a
lot of additional information. Finally, I met a lot of cool guys
with different professional and English language backgrounds. I
will advise my friends to join this class. Actually, I have
already talked to some of them.

Dear Andrei!
The class was perfect! You are really a good teacher! You care
about the progress of your students and I felt it. You make every
student feel important for you. The teaching methods that you
used combined with your exceptional knowledge of English (and not
only English) make your classes unique.
The course was interesting, most of the topics discussed were
controversial, you encouraged your students to express their
points of view, thus making them speak English. You provided
excellent detailed explanations of various English-related
questions.
I have no doubt that the course is worth attending. I came here
to improve my English and I am completely satisfied with the
results. Andrei, you are a very good TOEFL instructor and an
excellent TEACHER. Your optimism, good mood, positive attitude,
and professionalism, as well as a good sense of humor made me
feel comfortable. I liked the class very much.

Dear Andrei,
It was a real pleasure for me to attend the TOEFL Preparation
course. I discovered a lot of very important English language
rules and interesting information about the United States. I
improved my English because of informative and interesting
lessons, nice people in the group, and our TOEFL instructor's
cheerful disposition and good mood. In my opinion, Terra Nova is
the place where I finally managed to study everything I need to
be fluent in English.
If you hear about me in the future, Andrei, it will be partly
because of your contribution to my knowledge.
Thank you and good luck in everything you do!

I am glad that I attended Terra Nova's English courses. I really
feel that I improved my English. My speaking skills became
better, and I learned how to write essays, which is very
important for me.
Also, the grammar material presented in the TOEFL Prep class was
useful, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to study
everything and I intend to review the grammar section this
summer.
Best regards,

I have let 3 months pass after Andrei's courses in order to make
some realistic conclusions. Here they are:
If you need an excellent teacher and excellent books and you
value your time, go to Terra Nova ELC! Andrei is one of the
exceptional teachers who can give you a lot of information in a
short period of time. He is maybe the best teacher I have ever
seen (I don't exaggerate). He does not only teach English but
also educate people. Although I had already taken TOEFL with a
high score, I still decided to attend his classes because I was
sure of high quality. You can't even imagine how much his courses
helped me.
Andrei, how can I ever express my THANKS to you for your
recommendations, for all the materials you shared with me, for
all the support and encouragement, for the books you have in the
library, for the time you offered to our group... Thank you for
your hospitality spiced with tasty tea and candies.
You are really a great person! I admire you!

Dear Andrei, I really miss your classes!
I think that 3 months' learning at Terra Nova was one of the best
experiences in my life to improve my English. You give not only
advanced and high-quality education to your students but also a
part of U.S. culture in Moldova. I like your style of teaching,
informal but very effective! I wish there were more teachers like
you in our country because you contribute to the development of
our society.
My message to all those who haven't come to you yet: "This guy is
really cool, don't miss the opportunity to meet him and study at
Terra Nova. I think that he may leave soon because Moldova is not
the best option for him but as long as he is still here, go and
register for his classes. You won't regret it!"

I just want to say that I really enjoyed taking the TOEFL
preparation class at TERRA NOVA ENGLISH LANGUAGE CENTER. This is
a great place to attend in order to receive priceless knowledge.
There is no doubt that here people learn not only about the
language but also about the culture of America and it's citizens.
Also, I want to say that Andrei Fiodorov is not only a great
teacher but also a very nice guy. I give 100% that this
institution gives knowledge AT IT'S BEST.

If you need to improve your American English grammar and style,
if you want to enrich your vocabulary, come and discover a new
Andrew's course book dexterously called "GRAMMAR, STYLE, AND
VOCABULARY REVIEW". It's not so fat as those old-school books,
but it's much more effective and handy.
The class is great too. The candies are sweet, the movies are
great, and the atmosphere is truly democratic!
Newcomers, I'll give you a piece of advice - don't put aside
writing the essays, which Andrew's gonna ask for.
It will bring your logical thinking to completely new heights;
your writings will be lucid and accurate, which is very important
for the TOEFL.
Andrew, thank you for the hospitality that you give your
students, IT IS SOMETHING! And... Happy New Year! I wish you love
and harmony :)

Hello everybody!
Terra Nova English Language Center is the right place for
preparing for the TOEFL examination. It's not only about learning
English but learning chemistry, biology and especially forestry
:). Terra Nova English Language Center is the place where
democracy rises.
So, the Oscar goes to...... Fiodorov Andrei :).
