   My daughter is very lucky to have attended Duke. Even before making an attendance decision, Christine listened to us and offered close consultations to us. She even contacted international student directors of all our prospective high schools so that we could make appointments and start smooth communications with them. Every one of the directors knew Christine and Duke very well because Duke was the language school they send their international students whenever necessary. They told us to rest assured because they observed students attended Duke made great progress in a short term. Also, Duke provides students’ level assessment results to the high schools, which are internally used to help students in those high schools. I’ve heard their relation is more than two decades, which is very solid. Before conferring with Duke, we had been relying on uncertain info available on the internet. But with their help, we could successfully find the most suitable school for my daughter, which I believe was impossible without them. If you are considering sending your son/daughter to top schools in northern Auckland, a safe, beautiful area suitable for academic study, I think Duke is the first and only choice. I have also visited the host family Duke has introduced on the day my daughter’s stay starts. They were very welcoming, lovely family. I was very happy that we could use such a nice network of host families they organize. My daughter occasionally sends pictures of her with her family in Auckland, and she looks happy. Everyday lesson at Duke is perfect, too. My daughter admits her pronunciation and speaking improved greatly. She told me her teacher is great. She points out errors and corrects them immediately, and leaves nobody behind. Everybody in the class is also always committed and willing to speak up thanks to her. That’s what more than I expected, honestly. My daughter had been a shy girl who didn’t speak up in front of others frequently, but now she does, and she seems to be enjoying it. My daughter will start her high school from term 1 next year. I can imagine that studying abroad is not very easy for a teenage girl who studies far away from home, but I’m sure that it has been made a bit easier now thanks to staff and teachers at Duke.

   So far we’re having a great experience with the DUKE Institute. The teachers (Virginia, Christine and Sean, General English) are educated, tolerant and empathetic. They all seem to understand very well their students’ background, nationality and age – and adjust the classes accordingly. If you’re a shy person afraid of speaking English – have no hesitation about joining DUKE!
