We are happy to see our students succeed in life and we are even happier to know that we have played a role by providing them the foreign language skills necessary in their higher education and workplace. See below what some of our past students have to say about us.

Our student’s testimonials

I am 18 years old and I am studying Psychology at the University of Cyprus, hoping that after I get my degree, I’ll be able to continue my studies and finally become a criminologist. Of course in order to do that, I might have to move to the United States of America, or any other country with high crime levels… but the USA has always been my first choice. Therefore, my English Skills have to be perfect, if I really want to succeed and become one of the best.

Fortunately, my parents have always believed that learning a foreign language, especially English, is one of the most important things one can do in his/her life. So, 10 years ago, they enrolled me at PETMAR institute so that I would learn the language and get an IGCSE in English. I studied English for 8 years and I graduated with flying colours about 3 years ago, after passing my IGCSE with an A*. Our teachers taught us the most basic grammar rules and vocabulary, but, more importantly, they helped us to feel more comfortable to speak English without feeling stressed. Communicating with foreign people from all over the world is like a blessing to me. You see, I love travelling and one of my biggest dreams is to travel around the world. Thanks to the knowledge I have gained all these years, I feel really comfortable to travel, meet new people, get to know their cultures, their customs and traditions. Moreover, I believe that, just the fact that I got a good grade at my IGCSE exam is going to be very helpful when I apply for my master’s degree, or even when I look for a job in the future. When you have a certificate that proves your skills in a language, you are more likely to be employed in any position, especially in today’s global world…hopefully!

I have always liked English as a language and I have been motivated to learn as much as I could about this particular language. I have also wanted to be able to speak English fluently, and I believe that all my teachers at PETMAR institute worked really hard all these years, for me and my classmates, in order to achieve this goal.

I just wish I had more free time so I could register there again to learn another language!

I was a student at PETMAR for practically my entire childhood and teenage life!

Throughout my journey as a student here, I came across very intelligent and helpful teachers, who did not only guide me with the English language but also gave me valuable life lessons.

Learning English is a must in a constantly changing world, where people are getting closer and closer. Studying at PETMAR has made me able to communicate with people around the world without difficulty. As a result, I can now see the world from a different perspective, as everything is much easier now that I know the most commonly spoken language around the globe.

To add to that, we already know the difficulties of getting good grades and getting accepted to certain universities, so a good certificate may always come in handy. PETMAR is sure to help you with that, due to the fact that the teachers there are bound to persist until you understand each and every word in the English language, and they do that not by pressuring you, but with their own unique style of teaching!

To conclude, those years I spent studying there were truly fantastic. Sure, there have been some ups and downs, but the end result was amazing! I can use the language effectively for a variety of situations and I hold an A* IGCSE certificate!

Studying at PETMAR Institute was an extraordinary experience in every aspect. I really enjoyed the great teacher-student atmosphere , the contents of the courses and the framing offered. The qualified teachers were always there to help and to communicate their knowledge, thereby enabling us to develop our English language skills to the best extent possible.

Moreover, PETMAR Institute brought an added value to my personal life. I have been working for an international company where communication in English is essential on a daily basis. I am convinced that one of the main reasons I took the job was the fact that I studied at PETMAR Institute, which has provided me with the tools necessary to face professional life.

Therefore, I would recommend it to any student looking for a complete English language acquisition.
