''I studied at RELA for two months, now, I
realise that my English has improved. I owe it to my teachers,
every teacher's lesson was interesting for me. I'm grateful to
the staff. Everything I learnt was useful. For me, English is a
tool to communicate with many other people. There are some reasons
why I chose RELA. One of the biggest reasons is the reputation
from graduated students. They said RELA is a good school. Now,
I know my choice was right. I can recommend others to RELA. My
memory of RELA is very precious. I will never forget my good experiences
at RELA." |

I was very happy to see everyone again. It's always a pleasure to come here. I think every body is happy to meet other students. They are very nice with me. I always keep many good memories about my trips in Rotorua. |

Claudia - "We are very happy especially because my children were very happy to study English and all the teachers were very patient with them. We chose to study at RELA because this is the school that found a course for children and parents. This is a great idea!
Arthur - "My family and I had a wonderful time at RELA. The teachers were very kind, good and we learned a lot. We are sorry to go. We also loved New Zealand. People are friendly and the places are wonderful." |

I had a very good time in my RELA homestay, and at the school. I think most of the people who come to RELA are very sad to leave. Thank you for everything! |

I could learn not only English, but culture hospitality and how to teach students. When I'm looking for a job in Japan, this experience will be an advantage. Thank you so much! |

''Thank you so much for taking very good care of our group this year. Your school is very well organised and took great care of our students. Our group leader has visited many English speaking countries and a lot of language schools, but she said your school is the best language school that she has ever visited. All the students in the group loved Rotorua and seemed to have a very good time. We are grateful for all your hard work which made it possible for our group to stay comfortably in Rotorua." |

| I studied Engilsh at RELA for almost a year. When I first came to RELA I was really nervous because I couldn't speak English at all and I was alone. The teachers were really kind and I could meet lot of International friends. When I had some difficulties I could talk with my friends and teachers in RELA and they helped me. It was a turning point in my life. |

in a very professional school. The staff and teachers take care of
everything
for the students, so that they have the best conditions for learning
English. Thank you; I'll come back as soon as possible." |

We thank you very much for your efforts, care and good treatment

During that period, he gained training guidance development and

is one of the best institutes in New Zealand
We wish you every success." |

 |
| "As a qualified Teacher of English to
Speakers of Other Languages, with experience in Australia and South
America, I can confidently say that RELA in Rotorua, New Zealand
, presents easily the most efficient, progressive and friendly programme
I have encountered. My son attended RELA for only a short time, but
has made astounding progress, both linguistically and socially. The
RELA staff, and the school's attitude and environment, have made
his experience there a thoroughly joyful and productive one. Alex
will certainly be attending RELA whenever we are in New Zealand.
His increase in confidence and self-expression has been most gratifying." |

| "I had a precious time with teachers,
staff and my friends of RELA. Especially, the time I've had with
my IELTS class,
I cannot forget it. I've learned a lot of not only English, but also
knowledge. I am sad to leave you. The time I have spent at RELA studying and enjoying
my life is really precious for me. I was very happy to be here with
wonderful people. I can't promise when I can come back again, but
I will come back one day." |

 |
| "Two months ago I was at your splendid school. Often I think
about the beautiful time at RELA. I was always very happy and content.
The whole time was great. Thanks to all of you from my heart. Also
the students were very friendly to me." |
 |
| Fay - China |
 |
| "As an overseas student, I think I am so lucky that RELA's
teachers care for me and help me a lot. I think my school attributes
its success to its excellence and effective language education system,
which can help a lot of non-English speaking students improve their
English efficiently." |

dream came true thanks to your school. Teaching and learning English
are very different from Japan. I'm very satisfied with this school
and its excellent teachers. I'll keep studying English in Japan.
Thank you for all your kindness." |

a Kiwi. In Rotorua we can go to many places on Friday afternoons
and in the weekends." |
 |
| Eung Je - Korea |
 |
| "I chose to come to RELA because many
people recommended the school. There are lots of chances for conversation,
and students work in small groups. Rotorua has many activities. We
can enjoy mountain biking, hot springs and thermal area and lakes.
I especially like the new building at RELA. It is clean and tidy,
and we can really enjoy break time because there is a big relaxing
place in the new building. There is a good programme for studying
English." |

people and the teachers of RELA. They have made my stay in New Zealand
unforgetable.
I've been very happy to meet you!! Maururu Roa Mahalo. Thank you
very much. |

| Seiko - Japan |
 |
| "I really appreciate RELA;s
teachers, if I hadn't chosen RELA I couldn't get good results
in my TOEIC test and I would be satisfied with my Working holiday
in New Zealand. My score was 755, I was
very
suprised
and
happy. Now I am enjoying my NZ life very much. I'll never forget
RELA. Thank you for your kindness and help." |

| "I studied English at RELA for 6 weeks and I really loved
it. My reason for studying was to get prepared for the IELTS exam.
I needed to get a score of 7.5 for my registration as a physiotherapist
here in New Zealand. I passed the IELTS exam with an overall score
of 8.0 which I think was possible because of my excellent preparation
at RELA. My teachers and the other staff are highly qualified, professional,
friendly and amazingly supportive. RELA puts a great effort into
supporting every student individually. I think the school provides
a range of opportunities to study in class but also self-study and
activities outside the classroom. I really enjoyed my time at RELA,
working hard but having fun while my English improved from day to
day." |

RELA is a really nice school, the teachers are very kind, the office staff are nice too. I learnt a lot of things, and I hope to come back here next year. I spent some good times with my Homestay. The children are very nice and kind. We visited a lot of things and I liked all my time with them. I learnt English language because they talked slowly so I understood easily. Thank you to my Homestay family and everyone at RELA! |

It is really nice to study in RELA, and I must say I learned a lot, and all the teachers here are great. I had a great time getting to know students from all around the world. |

Student Website
RELA students often share photos and messages
between themselves on facebook. This is an excellent way to see the friendships that
have been created at RELA. If you are thinking about enrolling at RELA
talk to the students and see what they have to say. If you are an old
student of RELA, keep in touch with the friends you made during your
stay.
