Student Testimonial for ESL Course at GEOS Los Angeles South Bay

Hello, my friends from around the world!

 

My name is Eva. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand. I'm very happy to be here. California is the land of dreams. Sunny days, beautiful beaches, and nice people. I have really good time here. And I'm even more glad to be a part of GEOS. Here, not only I can practice my English skills with so many talented staff but I also have a chance to meet new friends from all over the world. It's a very unique experience that i don't think I could find from anywhere else in the world!
