Review of Zoni Language Centers

I arrived at the Zoni Academy thanks to my sponsor...

I arrived at the Zoni Academy thanks to my sponsor who offered to pay me for studies where he had learned English, and after having studied Industrial Engineering in Bogota and had worked for 5 years in a multinational in Bogota and could not ascend because of my language deficiency I spoke with my sponsors who raised me and decided that I would take the experience he did in 2000 at the Zoni Academy.

For me, New York was the logical choice where to develop my studies of language learning, due to its recognized international reputation in the diversity of its population and in particular knowing the capital of the business world.

But what was the program that suited my needs and where could I find it? The Zoni language course was the best option after having researched through friends and some study agencies abroad.

Why? Basically because of the flexibility of the program, because of the pedagogical nature and because the academic concentration is very demanding for those of us who want to study and learn. They handle many topics of my interest.

Also today I can attest to the excellent quality of the teachers and how they encourage accelerating learning in us with classes as they said ONLY ENGLISH means we could not translate. However, studying at the Zoni Academy has been an experience that surpasses the academic. The staff is extremely friendly, the Campus is beautiful all year and especially in spring. The multicultural and respectful environment is something that can hardly be seen elsewhere. New York City is one of those cities where there is something to do all year and any time. (which helps a lot to practice English).

My person and my friends have felt very safe and at ease. Both my best friend who has taken some fine arts courses not continued at FIT.

All these things have made studying at the Zoni one of the best decisions I've made in my life.

As one student from Cuernavaca Mexico says: "Zoni is very cool!"
