”When I arrived here five months ago I couldn't listen to someone in English and my reading skills were limited. Nowadays I can listen well, I can read not only trivial things but also academic articles, and I can discuss many different topics. My best friends at Kaplan are from China and Turkey. I am Brazilian. I don’t have any other way instead of talking in English to them.”

”Every teacher and student here is friendly. The atmosphere is really nice. Boston has many ancient buildings, the environment here is beautiful. I think each building maybe has its own story. I was very fascinated with history, so this is what attracted me most.”
