2016-2017 ACADEMIC YEAR

From: Patricia Handraman
Date: December 17, 2016

Studying at Terra Nova was a truly extraordinary experience that motivated me to grow in many different ways. In addition to constantly preparing the students for passing the TOEFL iBT, the instructor provided valuable insight into the aspects of the English language, better than anyone I have ever seen. Likewise, the instructor did a remarkable job explaining science-related concepts. On several occasions, the instructor brought material evidence highlighted in the reading passages, such as a tooth of a shark or pieces of lava, in order to help students visualize what they read. I especially appreciated the clear explanations of the instructor and the fact that he came very well prepared for the classes. If you are thinking of undertaking this course, prepare to allocate nearly 20 hours each week for studies, including both classroom instruction and independent study. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to everyone who wishes to study at a university abroad or simply increase his or her potential.

Terra Nova is not only about improving English and gaining useful skills for passing the TOEFL iBT with a high score but also about a great atmosphere in class, with tasty tea and coffee, Moldovan candies bought to support native produces, and great relaxing music at recess. The classes are very interesting, full of new information. I enhanced my general knowledge and made new friends. I am happy that I studied here and I recommend that everyone choose Terra Nova's TOEFL preparation course.

I found out about Terra Nova's TOEFL preparation course from a friend of mine. I thought that it would be an ordinary course like many others offered in Chișinău, but I completely changed my opinion after the first class. The instructor, Andrei, is a great person, and it is a pleasure to speak with him. Besides his linguistic skills, Andrei has a great sense of humor and is one of the smartest persons that you can find in Chișinău. The best in-class materials help students not only to get high scores on the TOEFL but also to learn about important things that are essential for them in the future. I firmly recommend Terra Nova's TOEFL preparation course for those who want to get a high score on the TOEFL because it is definitely the best TOEFL preparation center in the country and a great place where you can find interesting people who will become your friends.

My teacher for the course was Mr. Andrei Fiodorov. I actually enjoyed talking to him and would like to use this feedback section of the website to thank him. There was actually a certain point when I felt that the course was too difficult and I told him that he was teaching some expressions that I did not even know in my native language. This course gave my English skills a significant boost, helping me form correct sentences, understand spoken English, develop decent conversational abilities, watch American television, and much more. I have already referred a few of my friends to Terra Nova English Language Center, demonstrating my English knowledge and sharing additional information with anyone who is interested. Mr. Andrei Fiodorov offers an unrivaled opportunity to polish up English skills to anyone living in Moldova.

I often had problems with my self-confidence. That is why I rarely talked to anyone with pleasure. I was afraid of not being understood. Terra Nova is the place that changed me almost completely. The instructor knows perfectly what to do and what methods to use in order to encourage his students to be more assertive in expressing their opinions. Preparing for the TOEFL at Terra Nova was a great experience for me. I learned a huge amount of information, not just about English. I gained knowledge that will help me further in my life. I learned things that cannot be forgotten.

For me, Terra Nova was not just a TOEFL preparation center. Surprisingly, I broadened my horizons a lot and studied about a large number of interesting issues. Even though I had to apply a large amount of effort and hard work, I am proud of my results and improvement of my English skills. I believe that it happened due to the well-written books and the impressive teaching style of the TOEFL instructor, Andrei, who motivates you to study. The grammar book is truly useful because every rule is well explained with many examples. There is a lot of homework! Even though I managed to do everything, it was exhausting and now I feel drained. I really like the way Andrei organizes his classes. We managed to talk about many different things and even had time for fun.

It is well known that it is hard nowadays to find a good English teacher. However, Andrei is an exception and it is hard for me in just a few lines to explain why. The TOEFL preparation course that he teaches is not an ordinary course of advanced English. The course has a comprehensive program, including a wide range of topics from geology, forestry, biology, chemistry, history, and other sciences and arts. The language of instruction is English only. The lessons were interesting and balanced if you know what I mean. Studying a large amount of grammar and vocabulary can be quite boring, and when we were exhausted, Andrei introduced other activities, thereby increasing the efficiency of the studying process. In fact, many people, including my classmates, friends, and my elder brother, who took the course some years ago, recommended Terra Nova to me. I have a younger brother, who is just a kid now, but when he is in high school, he will definitely take this course.
