"Taking the amTEFL program at the American Language Institute prepared me above and beyond for my teaching experiences here in Poland. The students here are energetic and enthusiastic to learn and the school is professional in every regard. This experience so far, as well as the program at SDSU, has exceeded all of my expectations."
