I have studied two IELTS courses at KTDC IELTS with Ms. Mai Thi and Ms. Ngoc, starting from the basic level. At first, I did not really plan to study IELTS, but because of my major, I needed to improve my English skills. After joining the classes, I gradually became more interested in English. Both teachers are very supportive and friendly, and they always encourage students to participate in class activities. I especially enjoy the speaking lessons because they help me become more confident when communicating in English. Overall, studying at KTDC has been a valuable and enjoyable experience for me.
