My name is Akira and I am from Japan. I came to New Zealand with a lack of English skills. I progressed to the advanced level in a short period of time. I appreciate the teachers and the friendly support staff.  I was able to improve my English and worked as a soccer coach. I met many friends from different countries at Kingston and this was a good opportunity to speak English all the time.

I came from Argentina and I met many good friends and staff at Kingston. I liked the friendly environment with a good mix of nationalities. It helped me learn about other cultures. I am now working in New Zealand. I got help from the student support staff to write a CV and interview tips as I was a new in New Zealand. Thank you !
