TIEP - Texas Intensive Language Program

It was interesting experience. The teachers were very helpful and I got the chance there to meet new friends. However, it's little bit
challenging to perfect the language there if you stayed for short time because you are among other international students who are also learning as you, so you won't always know weather your sentences are right or wrong ! That's how I felt, but this might also be good to boost your confidence in speaking.

When I first arrived in the United States, I couldn't communicate with people because my English was too basic for me to engage in conversation. In only one year studying at TIEP I improved my English significantly. The teachers are friendly and patient. The classes are mostly focused on English for academic purposes. This means that, after finishing the course, you will be prepared to enroll in a university or even face a job interview with confidence. The only critique I have of the program is that I would have liked to learn more informal English (conversational English) instead of mainly academic vocabulary. Other than that, my experience at TIEP was great and the program was extremely helpful.

I studied with many different people around the world so I had many chances to use English in the school. Teachers are very nice and friendly. They helped me how to speak and use grammar like Native American. Teachers gave me interesting activities outside such as picnic, visit museum or university.

All the teachers were so kind to me. When I was in trouble, they helped me solve the problem. Of course, my English skills were improved. Especially when it comes to friends, I could talk to many kinds of people. I could live good times, which I have never lived.
