This course is very helpful, and if you want to prepare for the
TOEFL or just to improve your English, do not hesitate to take
it. While a student at Terra Nova, I not only practiced English
language skills (grammar, reading, listening, speaking, and
writing) but also found many interesting things about the
biology, forestry, chemistry, geography, physics, history, and
the U.S. Besides academic knowledge, Andrei taught us life
lessons and shared his experience, wisdom, and views. The course
met and surpassed my expectations. I am glad that I took this
course and I am very thankful to Andrei, who is the best TOEFL
instructor in Moldova! Do not miss this opportunity and enroll
now!

The TOEFL Preparation course that I took at Terra Nova was very
interesting, fun, and useful. We practiced a lot of reading,
speaking, listening, and writing for the TOEFL. We also learned a
lot of vocabulary and grammar. This course is not only about the
TOEFL but also about interesting and exciting facts from history,
fine arts, and natural sciences. I hope that in the future more
and more people will enroll in this amazing course.

After attending the semester, I can totally say that Terra Nova
is the best place where a person can improve his or her English.
Here I met marvelous people, a perfect teacher, and a friendly
atmosphere. Moreover, I must say that I not only improved my
English level but also developed myself as an individual and as a
personality. Besides acquiring new, interesting information, I
learned a large number of life lessons. I must thank Andrei for
being who he is and for the useful course that he provided us
with.

The TOEFL preparation course offered at Terra Nova provided me
with a lot of knowledge. I improved my English language skills
and prepared for the TOEFL. The instructor developed our
knowledge of different fields of arts and sciences. The classes
were very interesting, entertaining, and useful. Practicing
speaking, listening, writing, and reading, as well as learning
English grammar and vocabulary helped us progress and improved
our level of English. The instructor is an amazing person and he
always encouraged us and gave us advice. He helped me build up my
personality and inspired me to study hard.

In my opinion, this is the best TOEFL preparation course in our
country. The teacher explains everything clearly and simply. Even
though the class lasts two and a half hours, the time passes
quickly.

Andrei Fiodorov, my TOEFL instructor, taught me a lot of new and
interesting things about English grammar and style, the United
States and its culture, and of course about different sciences.
From his classes, I learned a large number of new things. I am
happy that I had the opportunity to improve my English at Terra
Nova. Every lesson was enjoyable, and Andrei explained everything
clearly to us with many examples. If you want to become smarter
than you are now, I recommend that you take the TOEFL Preparation
course offered at Terra Nova.

Thanks to this course, I not only prepared for the TOEFL, but
also learned a lot of useful information and polished up my
English skills. I enjoyed very much the lessons and I regret
every hour that I skipped because of my job. I would advise
everyone who is preparing to pass the TOEFL to take this course
because it is the best one for the students who have decided to
study abroad.

I did not have a clue three months ago that I would have an
opportunity to study at Terra Nova. My friend recommended this
course to me because of my desire to study abroad. Now I feel
that over these months I improved my English a lot. All lessons
were well organized. Our teacher motivated us to work hard and to
be determined to achieve our goals. Despite some difficulties, I
started to comprehend easily listening and reading passages.
Every time I was willing to prepare my homework because it was
always checked. As a result, I found out what mistakes I must
avoid in the future. Our instructor did everything possible to
help us and to encourage us to focus on studies. In class, we
managed to practice all of the TOEFL sections. The instructor
always gave us advice. Periodically, we watched videos and it was
a great way to relax for several minutes. I am grateful for
taking this course due to the valuable knowledge that I gained,
the friendly atmosphere, and the instructor's efforts.

It is one of the best English language courses that I have taken.
Andrei is very enthusiastic, energetic, and has a great sense of
humor. He explains everything in a very easy way by giving
examples, demonstrating facts, and showing different interesting
videos and pictures. I also like a lot the fact that he is very
open-minded and willing to discuss different topics, be it
history, geography, the economy, or politics. The course itself
is very well organized and combines in a very effective way a
large number of activities aimed at improving vocabulary,
grammar, writing, reading, listening, and speaking. I strongly
recommend the TOEFL preparation course taught at Terra Nova to
those of my friends and relatives who want to improve their
English skills and obtain a high score on the TOEFL.

This four-month TOEFL Preparation course at Terra Nova was a
great experience. The warm atmosphere in class and the nice
people facilitated the process of studying. During this course, I
learned more not only about the TOEFL but also about nature,
physics, and architecture. Andrei is a great instructor and a
very smart person. Terra Nova is definitely the best place to
prepare for the TOEFL in Moldova.

I do not regret that I spent three months with Terra Nova.
Honestly, it was not a burden to attend classes or to do
homework. I have broadened my horizons and improved my skills. I
appreciate the process, an easy atmosphere, and fruitful sources
of information. Andrei is easygoing and open-minded. He is
devoted to his work and has an excellent (this is true) knowledge
of English. TOEFL preparation courses greatly encouraged me to
more on. I will miss Terra Nova. Thanks a lot to Andrei and my
group!

The course was great; I liked it very much. The teacher, the
students, and the atmosphere in class were very good. I feel that
I really improved my English and I feel more confident about
taking the TOEFL. I recommend this course not only to people who
need to take the TOEFL but also to people who want to raise their
level of English. The section that you must focus on while
preparing, in my opinion, is Speaking, because most of us learn a
lot of grammar at school but still do not have the ability to
speak. Here at Terra Nova you can speak a lot and transform it
into something that you really love.

Thanks to Andrei, I improved a lot my English. While studying at
Terra Nova, I developed my vocabulary and my speaking skills. Now
I can communicate easily with other people in English. I learned
plenty of information and became more serious. I liked a lot the
teacher and I really enjoyed the classes. Terra Nova is a nice
place where everyone can polish up English skills, but for this
everyone needs to prepare intensively. I think that only with
Andrei's help I will succeed on the TOEFL and obtain at least 80
points. Thank you, Andrei, for your help.

I was impressed by the friendly relationship between the teacher
and students, by the level of our teacher's intelligence and by
our teacher's passion for teaching. Moreover, I faced real
progress in the language due to the professionalism of the
teacher. I will never forget this experience and the motivation
for studying that I received during the course. I strongly
recommend students to study hard because only intelligent,
experienced, and sociable people can build a free and democratic
society we all want to live in.

I decided to take Terra Nova's TOEFL Preparation course because I
wanted to pass the TOEFL and study abroad. This course helped me
really much. The classes were interesting and informative. I
found out new things not only about the English language but also
about many arts and sciences. The instructor says that the most
difficult sections on the TOEFL are Reading and Listening. The
most difficult section for me is Writing because 30 minutes is
not enough for me to write a good essay of 350 words. It is
difficult not because I know English badly, but because sometimes
I have no idea what I should add to my essays to make them
longer. I liked our classes: we studied hard and, at the same
time, we had fun.

I have attended many English courses in Chisinau, but I could not
resist more than 10 classes. None of them was interesting for me,
but in the case of Terra Nova, I stayed more than three months
and I want to stay more. In general, I learned a large number of
new things that have a close connection with life. I can say that
this course is preparation for life, not only for the TOEFL. The
teacher is one of the best English teachers in the country. He is
a nice person who has extraordinary abilities of teaching. He
readily shares his knowledge and experience with his students. If
you can enroll in this course, do it, just as I did, for I will
never regret. Apply to Terra Nova English Language Center if you
need to prepare for the TOEFL.

My taking the TOEFL Preparation course at Terra Nova was very
useful for me. All of the students got two books and one DVD, so
that everybody had the opportunity to study and practice for the
TOEFL at home. The instructor is one of the best in Moldova. He
always has a good mood and is funny and very intelligent.
Everybody has something to learn from him. In just three and a
half months, I gained a lot of information and improved my
English.

Studying at Terra Nova was a good experience for me. I not only
prepared for the TOEFL but also improved my English a lot during
this course. I think that this course definitely will help me to
pass the TOEFL successfully. Moreover, this course prepared me a
little for studying at the university. I am thankful to Terra
Nova and especially to our TOEFL instructor, Andrei, because he
created a very friendly atmosphere. The instructor was always
well prepared and he was always glad to answer the students'
questions. I will definitely recommend this course to my friends.
Actually, I have already recommended Terra Nova to some of my
friends who want to pass the TOEFL. Thank you, Andrei!

Well, guys, to tell you the truth, this course surpassed my
wildest expectations. No sarcasm meant here! I thought that I
would attend the classes that Mr. Andrei Fiodorov taught and
improve my English to a sufficient degree, which should have been
enough for me to dare to take the TOEFL. Believe it or not, the
reality turned out to be much better than I could ever have
hoped. I would definitely recommend this course to all of you for
one more reason: the price - advantages/benefits - quality ratio
is the best in Moldova. You may not believe me, but this is truly
so. Good luck, everyone!

Terra Nova is a great school for preparing for the TOEFL. I liked
very much the atmosphere during the course. I always came here
with pleasure. There are a lot of things Mr. Fiodorov taught us,
including biology, geography, and chemistry. Mr. Fiodorov is the
best teacher for preparing for the TOEFL in our country. All his
students always get high scores on the TOEFL, which is a good
reason to choose Terra Nova, the best school for TOEFL
preparation in Moldova.

cannot believe that the course is over. The time passed very fast
and I would like to continue because the classes are really
interesting. The teacher is the best TOEFL instructor that I have
ever met. In conclusion, I am very satisfied with this course and
I will definitely recommend it to my friends. I am very thankful
