| Also I finally met Shoya! Thank you!!! He is a new man, really!!! I love to see a change in people after they’ve studied overseas for a long time. He has confidence, makes eye contact when he speaks and his English is good! Thank you, thank you, again and again. |

| RELA is an excellent language academy. The teachers here are excellent too. They know how to make the class active and happy. From talking with the teachers, you could learn a lot of English culture. It helps you to improve the language. RELA, thank you for giving me a wonderful time. |

| I couldn’t say thank you to everyone for some reason. So I’d like say it here… Thank you soooo much for everything, all teachers, all staff and all students. I had a really cool school life at RELA. I improved my English a lot at RELA, but also RELA taught me a lot of things about life as well and made me stronger 🙂 My school life was really unforgettable and I’ll never forget all the people that I’ve met at RELA. Love you guys xxx |

| It has been the greatest experience in my life to study here. Thanks for all you did for me (special classes, supporting me…). I’m going to recommend RELA to any person who wants to learn English and I hope I’ll see you again in the future. |

| ”RELA is the most amazing place I know. Thank you Chris to take care of all of us. Thank you all the office. Thank you my lovely teachers. I think the only negative point in this school is how it makes me sad to leave it.” |

|
| ”RELA is a wonderful place to study. I spent my three weeks at RELA studying English. I wanted to improve my English and I am happy because I made a good decision to study at RELA. The teachers are really good and helpful and the students are friendly. Even though we come from many different backgrounds and cultures. Well…3 weeks is not enough..NZ is a beautiful country, and I will share my beautiful moments in NZ with my friends, family, and of course with all my students in Indonesia.” |

| ”Thank you so much for taking care of me while I stayed in Rotorua. Studying abroad has been my dream since I majored in English literature at university. (oh how many years ago, is it?) My dream came true at RELA…It is very difficult for me to thank you in so few words. I could make many friends there, which means that the atmosphere of RELA is warm and wonderful. I won’t say that this is my last precious memory. I would like to come back to RELA again to have more happy memories with you next year.” |

|
| “Studying in RELA, it seems like study with family. Tutors and staff are so friendly, helpful and considerate. Moreover, it is so exciting to encounter other students from all over the world. I studied English for 8 months and learned how to get along with other students. There was no stress for me to study in one of the best language schools in New Zealand. Now, I’m studying Hospitality Management at the Waiariki Institute of Technology as well as working in Novotel Lakeside Rotorua as a senior food and beverage attendant. I sincerely appreciate RELA and the knowledge that I acquired.” |

|
| ”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.” |

It is so difficult for me to speak about my time at RELA in a few words. Before I came I was worried about my ability to adapt to everything (school, homestay, people…) Because it was the first time for me to study abroad and living with a family. But, when I arrived, everything in my mind changed. Firstly, with a wonderful reception from both RELA and homestay family. I could read on the face of everyone at Rotorua “welcome to Rotorua, enjoy your stay” .
The family atmosphere inside RELA is amazing. Simply “this is the difference between RELA and other academies.” |

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 English 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. |

| “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.” |

| 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! |
