The environment is very international and I met people from many different countries.

Negative experience: I have mixed feelings about NZLC.While I am truly grateful for the wonderful friends I met here, the overall atmosphere and service left much to be desired. In particular, the reception team often seems impatient, but the behavior of one specific Chinese-speaking staff member was truly disheartening—it felt like deliberate discrimination. I experienced two clear instances of this: First, during a film activity, I was in the hallway visibly searching for the room. He (the organizer) walked past me in total silence even though we made eye contact. I didn’t realize he was the staff member in charge at the time, yet he immediately and proactively approached a student right behind me to offer guidance. Hearing him help someone else while intentionally bypassing me made his role—and his choice to ignore me—very clear. Second, in the elevator in the morning the other day, there were only three of us. He warmly greeted the other student and offered to press the button for them, yet completely ignored my presence—no greeting, no eye contact—as if I were invisible, even though we were standing side by side. This kind of selective indifference is deeply unprofessional. If a staff member cannot show basic respect to every student regardless of their background, I doubt they can provide sincere service to anyone. I hope NZLC ensures all students are treated with equal respect.

Fantastic experience: I studied for 4 months with my girlfriend at NZLC last year. I had amazing experiences at this school and I really loved studying there. Unfortunately, I had to leave the country because of economic problems and unemployment, but the time I spent at this school was wonderful, and I will carry the memories and lessons I learned there for the rest of my life.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed the lessons I had with Claire. It was very sad to say goodbye to her today. The lessons were both fun and very helpful.

Sthephanie Julieth Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve had such a positive experience at NZLC. The environment is supportive and the classes are dynamic, which has made learning English both enjoyable and effective. I’d especially like to mention some of the teachers who made a big difference in my learning journey: Claire – Her classes are never boring. The variety of conversations she creates really makes you think and analyse faster, which has helped me feel more confident and natural when speaking. Jonathan – He helped me build my basic grammar. Thanks to his explanations, I finally understood things that had always been confusing to me before. Rich and Quintin – My last teachers, who really helped me improve my writing, reading and speaking quickly. They encouraged me to stop doing things mechanically and instead focus on fluency, fewer mistakes, and faster progress. Overall, I can truly say this academy gave me not just knowledge, but also the confidence to use English in everyday life.

土居みらい Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I came to NZLC to improve my English skills. From my experience, I can say that you will never regret choosing NZLC for your English journey. I was able to make many friends from different nationalities and meet excellent teachers who are highly skilled in teaching English. In particular, Clare and James are the best teachers I have ever met. When I mentioned parts in the textbook that I couldn’t understand, James always gave me the exact answers I needed. I also enjoyed the Thursday writing class, in which I was able to improve my writing skills. When I took Clare’s class, I always enjoyed it. In particular, I learned many new words that I didn’t know before, thanks to her. She also takes time to speak English with each student, so you don’t need to worry about whether you can improve your speaking skills or not. I highly recommend choosing NZLC.

Pattarathon Chitto Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've been studying English here for 6 months and I've learned a lot, both improving my language skills and meeting a lot of great people, both friends and teachers who have taught me a lot of knowledge and experience during my time here. I'd like to thank all my friends who have helped me move forward in life and given me a lot of knowledge and good experiences, including teachers Jame E. Justine and Claire who have given me as much knowledge as they can give. I'd like to thank you for all the wonderful experiences I've had in New Zealand.

K H Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I studied at NZLC for four months and had the chance to learn from several teachers. Among them, Claire Ramos and James stood out as truly outstanding. They didn’t just read from the textbook, but instead focused on humorous, interactive communication with students. They made sure everyone had equal opportunities to speak and created lessons that were always engaging and enjoyable. There were also plenty of opportunities to connect with classmates, and I was able to make many friends. Choosing NZLC was definitely the right decision for me. If you’re considering a language school, I can strongly recommend NZLC.

binyao dong Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I studied at NZLC almost a year.I've been very happy during this time,I met a lot of kind people. The staff here is very friendly and patient to help you solve the problem. There are very excellent and interesting teachers, especially Claire, in her class, I am always full of smiles, and I can learn a lot of knowledge. For example, when I hesitate whether some words are American English or British English. Don't worry, Claire will teach you. There is also teacher James E. He would give us a puzzle to think about and historical knowledge before class every day. When we encountered some new vocabulary, he would help us organize it and write the meaning on the whiteboard. After class, the school will also provide additional activities for you to participate in, such as badminton, football, etc. If you would like to learn English, I sincerely recommend you to choose this school.

Abigail Bauer Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I'm truly glad I chose this school. I started the course in Intermediate 1 with teachers Sonya and Gabriela, then moved on to Intermediate 2 where my teachers became Claire and James. I've made great progress thanks to the help of each of them. Not only is the quality of the teachers very good, but so is the support provided by the entire staff. If it helps, I think this school is a very good choice if you have the opportunity to try it.

Moukda Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy my classes with both teachers. Claire Romos from Lesson A makes learning English very fun. Her teaching style is creative and effective, which helps me improve my English quickly. James from Lesson B is also a great teacher. His classes are enjoyable, and his teaching methods are very interesting. I feel motivated and excited to keep learning with them.

Tanyaporn Sereesantiwong Published on Google 8 months ago

Positive experience: I got an amazing experience in this school. Teachers always pay attention to their students. James is a really good GRAMMAR teacher!! Claire is also a fascinating teacher. Her class was so much fun and very active that I’d never get bored and couldn’t feel asleep! Moreover, Justin always answers the questions and explains it clearly. Jonathan’s and Olivia’s class was fun too. We could learn a lots from Jamie and Glen in IELTS class as well. Thank you this school for motivating me a lot.

Rodrigo Gómez Mondaca Published on Google 8 months ago

Positive experience: I did a 12 weeks course where I did some General English and IELTS preparations, and it was a really good experience. I met amazing people, and some of the teachers were a great support, especially Claire and Aniko. Whenever we had doubts about something, school related or not, they would find a way to help us solve the problems, showing that both of them are people that we can rely on.

Achareeya Meevasana Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Business English I studied in the Business English course. My teachers were Quentin and Jo. They each have their own teaching style. This course is suitable for people who want to learn how to use English in the workplace. It provides specific vocabulary for professional use and offers the opportunity to share work experiences with classmates from different countries, each with its own culture. I think it was a great opportunity to gain these experiences. We also practiced presenting projects, which required us to adapt all four skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It felt like real-life practice that will be very useful in both daily life and the future. General English I have also studied in the General English course. I like the teaching styles of both James and Claire. In James’s class, he always explains grammar in detail, and before starting the lesson, he usually asks students to guess some information about historical events that happened on that day. I think it’s a great way to start the day. As for Claire, she always gives us a lot of new vocabulary. She brings so much energy, and her class is always very fun.

Suyeon Kim Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been studying at NZLC for eight months, and choosing New Zealand and NZLC for my language study abroad was truly the best decision I made! The biggest strength of NZLC is the opportunity to learn English with classmates from so many different countries. I was able to make amazing international friends, exchange cultures, and make unforgettable memories! The teachers are professional, experienced, and very kind, and the staff are always supportive and dedicated to the students. I especially want to thank Claire and James for their guidance and encouragement. Thank you and I truly recommend NZLC!!

Hayeon KIM Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had such a wonderful and meaningful experience during general/IELTS course at NZLC. At first, I only registered because I wanted to learn English, but it turned into an unforgettable journey where I built countless memories, made friends from all over the world, studied with the best teachers, and experienced things I could never have imagined elsewhere. I'm really grateful to all amazing teachers I had during my time here. In particular, I highly recommend my last General English course teachers, James and Claire. They are both such wonderful and inspiring teachers! Each of them made my journey so special, and I truly appreciate all your effort and support. Thank you ❤️

松平むげん Published on Google 8 months ago

Positive experience: Pros: Good quality of class and teacher. A wide variety of lesson and activity. Plenty of opportunities and courses to obtain English qualifications. Clean and nicer. Easy access. Cons: Iam Japanese myself, but about 30% of my nationality is Japanese, so I need to make an effort to create an English environment myself. Overall review: The facility has a wonderful environment and cooperative staff, but because there are many Japanese people, it is easy to create a community, so care must be taken not to make it too closed off. I'm grateful for the experience here.

HUSSAM ALHABIB Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: After completing my 12-week study period at NZLC, during which I spent wonderful and memorable days, I would like to share my impressions of this experience from both the academic and administrative sides. On the first day, we were warmly welcomed with a detailed orientation about everything related to student life. We were also given a tour of the institute and a city tour to get familiar with the surroundings. On the second day, classes officially began. New students were placed into their classrooms according to their level. I consider myself very lucky to have been taught by Alexandra, a truly amazing teacher who treats her students as if they were her own children. After several weeks, I moved to another class with Marianne, another wonderful teacher. Her explanations were simple yet unique, and her cheerful personality brought joy into the classroom. The teaching system across classes is quite similar, with the main difference being the teaching style of each teacher. As for the student services department, they did an excellent job supporting students with any issues and providing activities and recreational trips that enriched the overall experience. I cannot finish without mentioning a very special person who stood out from the rest – someone who works with extraordinary dedication and sincerity. That person is Soo. It is difficult to describe her in words; she is truly a legend. In conclusion, this was a wonderful and enriching experience in every aspect. I am deeply grateful to all my teachers, especially Alexandra and Marianne.

Fantastic experience: I recommend this school. First, my Lesson A teacher is James. He is a very responsible Kiwi. Every time he teaches a writing class, we learn a lot. My Lesson B teacher is Claire. She always makes the class fun and teaches us a lot of knowledge, not just from the book. Another teacher I really like is my first teacher, Jo. She is a Kiwi and has an excellent teaching style as well. Also, Jazmin, who works at the front desk, is really helpful. The teachers here have different teaching styles and levels. If you feel that a particular class isn’t suitable or effective for you, it’s easy to switch to another one.

Fantastic experience: I studied English at NZLC Auckland for 10 months and was very satisfied with my experience. The teachers are excellent—clear, patient, and always approachable. I’m especially grateful to Claire, Richard, James, Rider, and Jonathan, who helped me improve English from basic grammar and speaking to IELTS preparation. I am particularly thankful to Claire for her support. She understands different cultures and creates a comfortable environment for all students. Her lessons were lively and practical, giving us many opportunities to use English. I lacked confidence in speaking at first, but her encouraging and constructive feedback helped me improve speaking with more confidence. The Student Support team was also very friendly and supportive. I’m especially thankful to Mai, who supported me with flatting issues and future plans. NZLC also has a friendly, international atmosphere, where you can easily make friends and naturally improve your communication skills. Overall, NZLC offers high-quality lessons and a great environment. I highly recommend it for both short- and long-term study!

Fantastic experience: Starting my abroad journey with NZLC was the best choice ever, as I couldn’t imagine I would be surrounded by such a supportive and friendly environment. My 48-week programme not only improved my English skills and helped me achieve IELTS, but also gave me an opportunity to build friendships with students from many different countries. I would like to say thank you to Claire, James, Rider, Quentin, Richard, and Anico. Without them, my English skills wouldn’t have improved as much as they did. I’d also like to give a special thank you to Claire, who was my first teacher in Lesson B when I started at NZLC. I really appreciate and admire her teaching, as she helped me improve my speaking skills and build confidence rapidly. She is an empathetic and supportive teacher who cares about her students, including me. She listens , understands to what we need, and walks alongside us to help us achieve our goals. Through her guidance, I’ve gained not only English knowledge but also the courage to step out of my comfort zone. I’m pretty sure many of her students feel the same way. In conclusion, being in the right school and guided by the right teacher made my journey in New Zealand more meaningful than I ever expected. If the future students are looking for the right place, I’d highly recommend NZLC and Teacher Claire Ramos.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience attending the language courses. The entire team is incredibly friendly and always willing to help. Everything was well-organized and clearly explained, which made learning smooth and effective. I joined the course mainly to prepare for the IELTS exam, and thanks to the support and guidance of the amazing teachers, I improved my score from 5.5 to 6.5 in just 15 weeks. I’m truly grateful to everyone who helped me achieve this result in such a short time. A special thank you to: • Bee for her care and responsiveness, • Soo for her creativity and cheerful spirit, • Richard for his great sense of humor and the most helpful advice, • Gabi for her positive energy, • Glen for his tireless support and readiness to help, • Quentin for his kindness and encouragement, • Ian for the chance to speak in my native language and for his openness. It’s a wonderful place to meet like-minded people, make friends, and significantly improve your English. Thank you all so much!

Fantastic experience: I studied at NZLC Auckland campus from May 18, 2024 to May 10, 2025, taking part in various courses. I enrolled to improve my speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills in English and to become more natural in using the language. Among all the courses I took, I especially enjoyed the Cambridge Course the most. It helped me build a lot of confidence in English, and that confidence gave me even more motivation. As a result, studying English became much more fun and rewarding. One thing, I really appreciated was the Student Services team. The staff are very kind and supportive, and they always try to help students actively. Since the staff members come from different nationalities, if you're struggling to explain something in English, they may be able to help you in your language, which is a big plus. And also there are many different national students as well. I highly recommend you to come, enjoy and study at NZLC Auckland Campus.

Fantastic experience: I studied a variety of courses at this school including IELTS, Cambridge, Business and General English. General English taught me everyday vocabulary while IELTS and Cambridge courses gave me useful exam tips. The Business English course included several workshops. Each course has its own advantages, and it’s easy to change your course. Therefore, feel free to talk to school staff, who are very friendly and kind, about your course planning.

Fantastic experience: I attended this school for three months! Since it’s located in the center of Auckland, it was very convenient to commute. The classes follow a three-month term system. There are two tests during the term, and the final test determines whether you can move up to the next level. The morning classes run from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM, followed by optional activities. I got to go strawberry picking, play sports, join a kayaking trip, and visit various places! Personally, I found the balance between study and fun just right. The staff members are all friendly, making it easy to ask for help when needed. (Especially for those who aren’t confident in English, having staff who speak your native language can be very reassuring.)

Fantastic experience: It was a such as incredible experience, It's not just an excellent collage , it's also a place where you grow as a person and make great friends. You're culturally enriched, and you learn to live in a safe and respectful environment. The staff is always willing to help in a comprehensive way. The school is located in a very strategic location in the CBD. It was a pleasure meeting you; you will always be a fond memory in my life.

Fantastic experience: I don’t have a good foundation in English. So I can’t complete the survey on my own, but I can talk about my feedback on the school’s graduation. I like my main course teachers and substitute teachers. They are always serious and patient, and often change their teaching methods.with the aim of enabling students to absorb more and better knowledge. My English has also improved a lot. Thank you to my dear teachers for their efforts . A few teachers at the front desk and teacher who led us to the strawberry farm. The teacher who led us to the museum.and the teacher who led us to the zoo. It’s all very cute. I remember slowly, and I haven’t had time to remember the names of every lovely teacher, but the beautiful faces of the teachers have been remembered in my heart. I love my teachers and I love our school. Love Liyan

Fantastic experience: I took the General English and IELTS courses for 12 weeks. First of all, the friendly teachers and well-structured curriculum really helped me figure out the right English study direction, since it was my first time studying abroad. The staff, who were always ready to answer my questions(especially Soo), were also a huge help. I had a great experience talking with friends from all over the world, not just a few countries, and I could really feel my English improving. Choosing NZLC was a decision I have no regrets about, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering an academy.

Positive experience: I could improve my English skills. If you want to study here you should come here without holiday season. Regular classes are more useful. And then train don’t work so It will cost you more money and time if you want to experience homestay. Homestay family was so nice.
