  Hi, my name is Thomas. I've been studying in GEOS for 5 months, I'm here for a professional training and I will never regret my choice. I began in level 5, and now I'm in level 6. I'm improving my skills every day because of the greatest teachers I've ever had. Also, the staff is really helpful; it’s easy to flourish in this context. I've been enjoying those months with some classmates from all around the world and that makes you more open minded. Having activities after school with them is good to practice English in a friendly atmosphere even if sometimes I wonder what strange spectacle we show to the native speakers when we slaughter their language shamelessly together. As far as New York, the city is just amazing. No matter what you want to do, you can find it in the city that never sleeps. Now, I am struggling with myself just to go back home rather than stay. It is always the same inner fight that being responsible after having a good time. Thomas Joulou France |
