GRADUATE & ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS
“After completing my classes at GV Hawaii,
I decided to take the program that gave students
direct access to the Community College. That was
when, for the first time, I could be part of the formal
academic system of the United States.
I studied for a year at Kapiolani Community College
(KCC) and this experience motivated me to dream
higher. My TOEFL result was better than I expected
and with it I could apply for my Masters degree.
Last summer, just over four years after I started at
GV Hawaii, I received my Master of Education degree,
specializing in Human Resources, from the Wayland
KAREN DE FARIAS NASCIMENTO, BRAZIL Baptist University - Hawaii.”
“I’m really happy about the eight months that I spent
at GV Calgary. That time not only helped me to
improve my English and understand more about the
Canadian culture, but I also met wonderful people
from around the world. I always remember with joy
my time at GV Calgary, and sometimes I just stop
there to talk with the wonderful staff and teachers
that I met and learned so much from.
I graduated at SAIT in April 2019 after two years,
with a Diploma in Energy Asset Management.
Two months after I graduated I found a job in my
area, working as Land Analyst at Land Solutions LP.”
CARLOS SANDOVAL, VENEZUELA
“I have been enrolled in the Pathway program at
GV Vancouver for a year now. When I started, I was in
level GV1 and now I am nearing the completion of my
Pathway in GV7. When I finish, I will study at Humber
College in Toronto with a major in Marketing and
Business Management. The support I have got from
GV Vancouver has been an important part of reaching
my goal and entering Humber College.
I have enjoyed my experience at GV Vancouver.
I had a very good time, made many new friends and
loved all my teachers and classes. I even won student
of the month!”
DAT XUAN THANH DONG, VIETNAM
“I studied at GV Victoria for 9 months, and i’m
studying at Camosun College. I really appreciate the
time I spent at GV. It was very meaningful to me and
it helped me improve not only my English,
but also communication and presentation skills.
I often remember the moments when I was attending
EAP classes at GV, and they remind me of the English
expressions or vocabulary words that I learned then,
having fun with my classmates and teachers.
I’ve been studying at Camosun for over a year,
taking Computer Science, Math and Statistics and
i’m thinking of transferring to UVic later on.”
