Featured Profile

Ghanem Almeathal,

“Hi, I've been in New Zealand more than 1 year and I have a scholarship from my country.

I chose to study at EIT because there are not many people from my country here, so it is a good place to learn English. Also they have lovely and kind teachers who are really helpful to us.When I came here I couldn't speak English but my teachers help me to do that in a short time.

Thank you to everyone at EIT!
Now I am studying at AUT in Auckland but I miss Napier and EIT”

Learning English is Fun!

We believe there is more to learning English than just spending time in the classroom. To encourage students to practise speaking English and to expose them to native speakers in the community, we organise activities every Friday afternoon. Activities include sports, bush walks, and visits to businesses and activities in the local community. These activities are a great way to practise your speaking skills and help to develop great friendships with other students from around the world.
