Taiwanese BESA Fam Tour Highlights at Pines Academy

The Baguio English Schools Association hosted the Taiwanese Familiarization Tour opening at Pines Academy filled with exploration and cultural exchange on March 18, 2024. The Taiwanese delegates started the tour by visiting the Botanical Garden to be reminded of Baguio City's rich ornamental plant resources and experience the picturesque Mines View Park. They have also dropped in at the Mansion House. They arrived at Pines Academy for a campus tour and the official opening ceremony of the BESA Taiwanese tour at 4 pm after a delightful lunch at Camp Johnhay's Seafood Island.The event marked a significant moment for collaboration and partnership with the attendance of 14 Taiwanese partner agencies, along with representatives from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) through the presence of Supervising TESDA Specialist Marie Bulatao and Bureau of Immigration-CAR Alien Control Officer (ACO) Theodore Pascual. The opening ceremony hosts were JIC's Academic Director, Brian Pobre, and Pines' Marketing Manager, Rona Dale Ortiz. After listening to their compelling speeches, Pines' Marketing Manager, Rona Dale Ortiz, rendered a presentation about Baguio City with points on why it is the ideal place for studying the English language. The program concluded with a video presentation establishing the city's strategic location for students to travel during weekends or at some point in their study period. The delegates proceeded to The Manor Hotel for dinner to continue fostering bonds. The delegates spent the second day of the fam tour visiting the Pines IELTS Campus. They roamed around the IELTS Specialized Campus checking out the facilities and were also able to witness a demo class on how we conduct our IELTS Speaking Classes. One of the agents became a demo student and was able to experience the personalized coaching of our top teachers. With coaching and class overview provided, everybody understood each section of our IELTS Speaking Classes. We are lucky enough that our partners have spent time on the first 2 days getting information updates from both campuses of Pines Academy. We are beyond grateful to our Taiwanese partners for their visit and unwavering support of  Baguio City academies.

Shibui Shota's English Learning Adventure

Studying English as a Second Language abroad is a big adventure. It's a journey where you discover new things about yourself every day. Shibui Syouta shares his adventure of learning English. His story shows us how important it is to keep trying, find the best way to learn and set clear goals.Finding the Right PathShibui started with Pines' Power Speaking Course; wherein he had 4 sessions of 1-on-1 classes and 4 sessions of group classes, but he wants fast improvement within his timeframe of studying English abroad. He had a goal: he wanted to achieve 6.5 on the IELTS test, so he changed his plan and took a different course called Power ESL7 which he thinks will prepare him for taking the IELTS Course. The Power ESL 7 consisting of 7 sessions of 1-on-1 classes will help him focus more on English learning.Enjoying LearningOur featured student knows how to keep his interest high in studying as he likes attending his daily classes. He mentioned that speaking is his favorite class. His teacher helped him pronounce words more clearly. Whenever he did not understand a grammar rule or a new word, his teachers explained the meaning with easier words and made him learn vocabulary words. Getting Better Step by StepWhen Shibui first started, speaking and listening in English were challenging for him. But day by day, he got better. He wrote down new words and grammar rules in a notebook and studied an English book he brought from Japan. He always prepared for his classes and reviewed what he learned. A Place to GrowShibui tells us about the good environment for studying English. There are extra classes that you can take to learn even more. Seeing other students work hard also makes him feel good and work hard too. Shibui plans to keep studying English for a long time. He believes he can get even better, and he invites others to join him in learning.ConclusionShibui's story is a great example for all of us learning English. It shows that finding the right way to learn, being clear about our goals, and enjoying the journey can help us get better. Let's keep trying and learning, just like Shibui.

Kentaro's Successful IELTS Guarantee 6.5 Training

Kentaro's journey to English mastery through the rigorous 12-week IELTS Guarantee 6.5 program at Pines Academy IELTS Campus is fruitful. During our brief but fulfilling conversation, we learned that he strategically decided to study IELTS in the Philippines as he wants to immerse himself in using the English language daily. Among the cities, he chose Baguio for its reputation as the safest city in the Philippines. He considers his 12-week IELTS Guarantee 6.5 Course an important step in achieving an overall 6.5 score. The first 8 weeks were structured around 2 hours of group classes and 5 hours of one-on-one classes daily. Following this, the program intensified to 6 hours of one-on-one classes. A significant part of his improvement came from participating in the evening speaking option class, which enhanced his performance in Speaking Part 2. The curriculum, designed to bolster all four language skills with the incorporation of Cambridge-based materials for both reading and listening tasks. Kentaro expressed his appreciation to his teachers by telling us that he loved all his classes because they were highly qualified and not only had official IELTS scores but they also provided him with tailored coaching to refine his skills. Starting with an overall score of 6.0, he was skeptical about reaching 6.5. However, through dedication over the 12-week IELTS Guarantee Course, his efforts resulted in achieving 8.0 in reading, and 7.0 in writing on his first examination. On the second take, he garnered 6.0 in speaking and 7.0 in listening and achieving the overall target score of 6.5. Before bidding us goodbye, he left a message for his fellow IELTS learners, and he said that achieving your target IELTS score stems from consistent study and a deep passion for learning.
