I really appreciate the time I spent at GV. It was very meaningful to me and it helped me improve not only my English, but also communication and presentation skills. I often remember the moments when I was attending EAP classes at GV Victoria, and they remind me of the English expressions or vocabulary words that I learned then, having fun with my classmates and teachers.
