      • What Our Students Say

        "The most remarkable thing about the English Program is that it gives us the chance to talk with native speakers and get to know other students worldwide, benefit from their knowledge and learn about their cultures through conversation groups like a small community."

        - Rama Ballan

        What Our Students Say

        "Currently, I am more confident in myself when I use English. When I started receiving lessons with Paper Airplanes I was in the pre intermediate level and currently, I'm at the advanced level."

        - Ismail Alhaj Osman, Turkey

        What Our Students Say

        "Our generation is trying hard to see life in a new way and strive for the better. I am thankful for Paper Airplanes because they opened the way for us to know new people from different cultures and learn the language from its origins."

        - Luna Tayan, Syria
