English is being used officially in the
Philippines. It means wherever you go,
you can be easily exposed to English. In
addition, people are friendly to foreign-
ers.
That is why so many students from all
over the world are coming to the Philip-
pines to improve their English skills.
The Philippines consists of 7,107
islands. Cebu is the 9th biggest island
which is located in the middle of the
Philippines. Cebu is famous for its beau-
tiful nature, beach resorts, friendly
people, and historical spots.
It is surrounded by many other islands,
which gives it a naturally typhoon-free
climate for most parts of the year, thus
giving it the title the paradise of the
Philippines and the queen city of the
south.
Mactan is on of the major tourist destinations in Cebu. It is where the international airport and lots of famous resorts are found.
Students are able to enjoy many activities such as scuba diving, island hopping, snorkeling and other water sports. Its proximity to the
city and local beaches make it an ideal place to live and study.

TESTIMONIALS
STUDENT TESTIMONIALSPHILINTER
I studied in Philinter for 2 months and everything about this school is
good.The teachers in Philinter are very helpful and friendly. They help me
much to improve my English. I really enjoy 1 on 1 classes, I think this is
very useful and the teachers really taught me a lot.
I always have a good time in Philinter since I have many friends: Koreans,
Japanese, Taiwanese and Filipinos. During my Philinter life, I use English
all the time because my teachers, my roommate, classmates and other
friends are from other countries. If you want to study English, you must
come to Philinter. You have everything to study here and they have the
finest teachers too.
During the weekends and holidays, students can do various activities like
they can go to the beach, go Scuba Diving, snorkelling, island hopping and
shopping. It is very interesting.
The best part,for me, about studying in Philinter, is meeting International
friends with whom I have made unforgettable memories with.
Aaron (Tran Viet Cuong)
Hanoi, Veitnam
There are many reasons why I love Philinter. First, the teachers are very
friendly and very professional. They are not only teachers but also friends
and they make me feel very at home. Philinter has a lot of classes which
helped me improve my English skill, most especially one on one class,
where there is one teacher for one student.
The school also has a lot of facilities that cater to your needs, areas like
the Library, Swimming Pool and the Dormitory. Philinter is a suitable place
for you to study, so come here and experience Philinter, where fun and
Learning English begins.
Anthony (Vo Minch Tuan)
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
Yutaro (Nakamura Yutaro)
Tokyo, Japan
Why did I choose Philinter? This is a question I often hear from people since
I arrived in this school. With confidence and pride I can tell you all my
reasons.
Philinter offers a lot of 1 on 1 class compared to other schools and the
subject are taught by top calibre teachers. Moreover they have special
courses which cater the needs of the students. The teachers are profession-
al enough to adjust their way of teaching to the students’ English level. They
can customize and create lessons that are suitable for you.
In addition, the best thing in this school is the variety of activities done every
month which provides opportunities for students and teachers to socialize.
Since we have a multicultural population, going out with people of different
nationalities improves your English skills and entertains you a lot. Some of
the friends I made in this school have already graduated but I still keep in
touch with them.
So can you tell me why should not I choose Philinter when I have all the
reasons to study here? Come and Join us!
Studying in Philinter is my first experience to study English in another
country. I chose to study in Philinter because the tuition fee is suitable for
me. The teachers in the school are very understanding and patient to the
students.
The school equipment and facilities are also state of the art. I have a lot of
opportunities to improve my English skills in the school. I also got the
chance to make friends with people from different countries such as Japan,
Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. If it is possible to study here again, I
would definitely come back.
Teresa (Le Huynh Minh Thu)
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
I didn’t have any idea or information about Philinter before I came to study
in the school. When I first checked the Philinter website, I read their
courses, curriculum and viewed the photos. From that moment on, I already
liked Philinter, so I chose this school for my English study abroad. When I
arrived, my first impression about the school campus is that it was really
clean: the school building, the dormitory including the surroundings. After
living and studying in Philinter for just a few days, I adjusted easily to the life
in Philinter, with the school rules and with the environment, even if Cebu is
very different from Taiwan.
After getting used to my life in the school, I got rid of my worries about living
in a foreign country, I also felt safe and secure in the school and outside. In
addition, Philinter teachers are very kind and helpful to students. Regarding
the class schedule, students have the freedom to choose their classes and
teachers based on their preferences. I studied in Philinter for 4 weeks but I
never changed my teachers from the start, not even once because I liked
all my teachers in 1 on 1 and group classes.
The school has rules and regulations for students to follow, so everything
will be organized and in order. That is why Philinter is the most suitable
place to study English.
