SUCCESS STORIES
I was going to go to a different school, but I decided to study at Palms because my English teacher had studied in Hawaii and knew about Palms.
When I started, I only had 2 – 3 classmates, so I had to speak English for 4 hours a day during my 3-week stay. At first, I was very tired and there were a lot of things that I didn’t understand, but the teachers and staff at Palms were very kind and they answered my questions all the time. They were willing to understand me. It made me want to do my best again! In the end, it was a great choice to study here at Palms. I’ll be for sure to come back again.
My major at university requires a TOEIC score of 800 to graduate, so I signed up for 7 weeks of TOEIC test preparation. A lot of my friends studied abroad in Hawaii and had a great experience, so I decided to study in Hawaii and attend this school. The daily lessons were very efficient, with weekly practice exams. I was able to learn a wide range of real-world English skills with native speakers. My teacher was very kind, easy to understand, and enthusiastic. I saw my scores on the practice exams improving! 7 weeks went by very quickly and I now have the confidence to return home and get a passing score on the TOEIC test.
I am 100% satisfied with this school!
The school is always filled with welcoming atmosphere as if I’ve been a student for a long time. The level of lessons are really fit for our daily life, so I learned necessary vocabularies and useful phrases through the lessons. My teacher’s ceaseless support has helped me a lot to improve my English skills. In addition to that, the presentation was a great experience to boost my motivation for keeping to study English.
I decided to study English because I always regretted not studying when I was younger. I was nervous when I first joined Hawaii Palms, but the teachers were so nice and made me feel comfortable. I really like the fact that Hawaii Palms offers many school activities, one of them being Yoga. I joined Yoga Wellness Class every Friday during my stay here. I practice yoga in Japan and I also take yoga classes in a studio in Honolulu, but doing park yoga under the blue sky is so comfortable and gives me happiness. Kayoko’s yoga suits me and Hawaii Palms gives me happiness. Thank you so much.
When I enrolled at Palms, I couldn’t speak English at all. In the beginning, I was so nervous, but my teacher was great, so it helped to ease my tension. Often times, Japanese people are not good at comprehending English, but I was able to overcome that weakness. The atmosphere of the school is so nice, and I liked the fact that we get along with teachers and classmates right away.
I studied in English Intensive for 3 months. It was a fun learning environment, so, it didn’t take time to get along with my classmates and teachers. This time of my stay, I chose to study in Elective classes. I’m glad that I’m gaining more vocabulary word, expressions as I enjoy taking classes. Through joining fun school activities, it gives opportunities to make friends even they are in a different class. To me, Hawaii Palms English School is a precious family – ohana, and broadened my world.
I love this school, all the employees are so nice! And during my 3 weeks I have learned a lot. This school is like a big family and I think it’s very important to learn English. If I could I will absolutely come back!
Big “Mahalo” to my teacher, classmates and all the other person I met at school for the amazing time we spent together! I recommend this school without a doubt!
Thank you, grazie, mahalo!
Thank you very much for these past three weeks! It seems like a long time, but I was able to spend a very fulfilling time. The teachers and staff at Hawaii Palms were very warm and kind, and my daughter enjoyed the program so much from the first day. She said that she wanted to go to school even on weekends.There were fun activities every day and, apart from learning English, she also made a lot of friends. We had a very fun, dream-like life in Hawaii. By speaking English, communicating, and having a lot of experiences, my daughter was able to grow a lot.
Thank you very much.
Hawaii Palms Yoga was the most relaxing yoga that I’ve ever experienced. Our instructor brought us under a beautiful tree, in a park, right next to the beach. While we were doing our movements & stretches, you could hear the waves on the shore and Hawaiian birds in the nearby trees. We did yoga at the best time; it was cool enough to feel the Pacific Ocean breeze, but warm enough to be at the most ideal temperature. I would do this class again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Hawaii Palms Yoga!
Hawaii Palms English School was my first school I went to study in Hawaii. I was nervous at first, but teachers were always helping students to understand by drawing pictures, playing a game. Also school offers fun activities such as BBQ, BYOB, YOGA. Even if you are shy person, you get along with everyone very quickly here. I especially liked the lesson which students go out with group, follow the direction, then compete with other groups. I was nervous to talk to strangers on the street, but it was lots of fun. The time I spent in Hawaii was not only improved my English, but I was able to meet many people, and it really was a precious great experience.
Thank you so much!
Soon after registering at Palms, I regretted my decision – I wondered if I would be able to do it or not. But unexpectedly, when I finished the first day, I found how exciting it is here! So now my regret is that I didn’t come to Palms earlier. Although it’s not easy to study hard for me, I enjoyed my school days very much. I wish I could be back and join this school again. I thank all of Palms so much!!
If I didn’t go to this school, I would just have memories of playing hard. I am grateful I had nice classmates, teachers and staff in the school. Plus, I had a great time with my daughter. I really appreciate everyone whom I met.
