I had a look on the Internet and found two schools. I read about what I could do at WELS – the option to have full-time or part-time study and the different levels and I could go in a host family so it was the best option for me. It was easy.

Why did you choose to come to Christchurch?

I already had a friend in Christchurch and it was the best option to start here.

How did you choose WELS?

I had a look on the Internet and found two schools. I read about what I could do at WELS – the option to have full-time or part-time study and the different levels and I could go in a host family so it was the best option for me. It was easy. I wrote email and I got a very quick, very nice answer.

What did you like about studying at WELS?

I had a really good experience. I like to have small classes- it’s the best way to learn. The teacher can talk to you individually. And I liked all the different nationalities.
