"Proud of what I learned at English in Florida, I am writing this testimonial in English.
Since I am working with a lot of different European countries, being fluent in English is
of utmost importance for my job. I decided to take lessons in America to improve my
business English as well as my conversation skills. I found Mike Miller on the Internet
and after having spent two months in sunny and wonderful St. Petersburg, FL, I can
really say that I am very happy that I chose Mike to be my teacher.
First of all, the surroundings could not have been more pleasant. Mike helped me find
a gorgeous condo right next to the beach. Every day we had our lessons on a sunny
patio right next to the water. You could say I was in the most beautiful classroom in the
world.
Mike is truly a great teacher. The advantages of choosing one-on-one lessons over a
class course are significant. First of all, the focus is entirely on you, and second, the
lessons are tailored to your specific needs and to your progress. Due to his long
teaching experience, Mike did a great job of making his lessons pleasant, challenging,
interesting and perfectly suited for my specific needs and goals.
All in all, I spent two wonderful months there, learning a lot and enjoying the
surroundings, the beaches and the multitude of nearby attractions and shopping malls.
I can strongly recommend English in Florida and I thank him again for his valuable
work."

"Tuve la oportunidad de participar en un programa como el descrito, lo cual constituye
para mi una experiencia inolvidable.
Conocí personas de muchas nacionalidades, y a través de los espacios de integración
propiciados por la escuela despúes de las actividades curriculares , pude estrechar
mis vínculos con estas personas, así como conocer acerca de sus culturas, así como de
la vida americana.
Mike fue mi profesor de gramática, así como de conversación, realmente con su ayuda
tuve un progreso significativo en muy corto tiempo. También fue nuestro guía en la
Florida en muchas excursiones que fueron organizadas por él: teatros, museos,
parques, etc.
Si están pensando en disfrutar unas vacaciones, pero al mismo tiempo buscando un
espacio para estudiar inglés sin complicaciones, consideren esta bonita oportunidad,
se las recomiendo."

I came to the USA on a student visa, and I used my vacation time to take lessons with
Mike. A friend at my other school told me about English in Florida. I met with Mike
each morning for three hours to work on conversation and pronunciation. In my
other school there wasn't much personal attention in the group classes, and private
lessons were very expensive. It was a perfect add-on to my I-20 school, and I
learned how to speak English with all the practice I had with Mike. I'm a university
student in Seoul, and now I feel comfortable speaking English anywhere.

"Qu'il est loin le temps où sur les bancs de l'école je suivais les cours magistraux de
mes professeurs avec l'impatience de voyager vers des pays lointains et de montrer au
monde entier que je parlais anglais. Pourquoi ai-je donc eu l'idée de mettre un jour en
pratique mon rêve et de voyager vers des pays qui pour moi étaient déjà conquis pour
me retrouver là-bas avec le statut d'incompris. La grande question a donc été pour moi
de savoir quelle langue j'avais apprise pendant ces années. Cette question s'est posée
jusqu'à ce que j'entende parler des cours dispensés par Mike Miller et que je prenne
l'avion pour la Floride.
"La méthode qu'utilise Mike est très originale. Des cours littéraux dans la matinée pour
se mettre, ou se remettre à niveau, en grammaire orthographe et prononciation et des
visites l'après midi et les week-ends. Le but est de mettre en pratique son anglais tout
en étudiant la culture américaine a travers les loisirs. Comprendre les règles du football
américain et du base ball, l'histoire des grandes chansons populaires et des plus
célèbres films américains, l'histoire des Etats-Unis et de sa constitution sont quelques
uns des exemples concrets qui au-delà de l'aspect ludique vont vous amener à
comprendre et surtout à parler avec aisance.
"Mike est également un fabuleux guide qui vous fera découvrir la Floride et surtout la
merveilleuse région de Tampa Bay. Lorsque j'étais à l'école, j'ai rencontré des étudiants
de toutes nationalités et de tous âges, de nos différences nous avons fait une richesse
que nous gardons tous aujourd'hui et pour nous Mike est devenu un ami à qui nous
disons merci."

"Ich habe bei Mike, verteilt über 2 Monate, ca. 160 Privatstunden genommen. Ich war
Advanced Level und mein Ziel war es, Englisch nicht nur fließend, sondern auch „schön
“sprechen zu können. Resümierend kann ich sagen, dass ich nicht nur mein Ziel
erreicht, sondern zusätzlich in Mike einen echtenFreund gefunden habe. Mike ist ein
wunderbarer Lehrer, der es versteht Lerninhalte und Vokabular so zu vernetzen, dass
der Wortschatz inklusive der Grammatik tatsächlich hängen bleibt und abrufbar ist.
Zusätzlich schafft seine positive Ausstrahlung, seine Ruhe und Gelassenheit ein
Ambiente, das wirklich Freude macht, Sprache, amerikanische Kultur (Musik!) von den
Wurzeln her zu verstehen. Und Mike istdabei so wie er ist – eine echte amerikanische
Persönlichkeit: Ehrlich, locker und sehr positiv.
Auf den Punkt gebracht: Mike ist „der“ amerikanische Englisch-Lehrer schlechthin –
und das zu einem sagenhaft günstigen Preis."

"My goal is to become an international commercial pilot. Thus, it is essential for me to
be fluent in English, a requirement of the industry. I decided to get my small plane
training in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On my way there, I visited some friends of my family in
Saint Petersburg, Florida. During my stay there, I took private English lessons in the
English In Florida programme. Mike was my teacher. He helped me with casual
conversation, numbers, aeronautical vocabulary, irregular verbs, and pronunciation.
We had some great and funny conversations. It was only one week (20 hours), but I
think my English improved more than in any course I ever took in high school."

"We like to vacation in Florida. We go there each summer. It's a great place for the
children, and to relax. But we want to improve our English also. In the mornings, my
wife Bridgette and I both took private lessons from Mike, and our two daughters studied
with Barbara. Bridgette and I are already advanced students, but we wanted to reduce
our accents. I'm a mining engineer, but I now teach economics at University. Mike and I
had many great dialogues about the state of the world. I particularly enjoyed studying
the film The Godfather. Bridgette is the director of human resources for Phizer in
Austria. She studied the film Erin Brockovich because of its legal and environmental
terminology. The girls studied Cinderella. I recommend the English In Florida private
study program for vacationers who want to make the most of their recreation time."

"Golf iS my passion. Sales management is my profession. Though I am nearing the
pleasure of retirement, my commercial carpet company is more and more dealing
internationally. English is becoming necessary for successful business. I have weekly
telephone conferences with my counterparts in other Euro nations, during which we
speak only English. Studying with Mike has helped me with business and sales
vocabulary and with my accent. Mike also developed a golfing program for me during
the afternoons and early evenings. Sometimes we adjusted our class schedule so that I
could play in the morning. The golf courses in Saint Petersburg are awesome! And
cheap! It's amazing! I took lessons and learned to drive a ball long and straightly. For
Mike's program, I say BRAVO!"

"I am a project manager for Hewlett Packard in Switzerland. The international language
for IT is English. My daily four-hour program with Mike (six weeks) gave me confidence
in my executive presentations in English. Each day I gave a presentation. We also
worked in all areas of language studies. I really enjoyed our conversations about sports,
finances, environment, and world events. Mike is a cultured and educated gentleman
with a great sense of humor. I look forward to studying with him again."

"English is so important in tourism. I work for Disney tours in Tokyo. I didn't want to
study with a group of college students. I wanted professional education. For me,
individual instruction is best because the teacher concentrates on me and my
problems. Mike not only made me learn English every day, he planned Florida tours for
my husband and me. My husband took this picture of me in Miami. When I came home
to Japan, I felt much more confident in my job, and I could give my clients good
directions. Thanks, Mike!"

"As a counselor for English of Florida, I can strongly recommend this program. The
teachers are great, and Florida is fantastic. I enjoyed studying here so much, that I

"After a number of years as a project manager for Samsung Corporation, I decided to go
to the U.S. to become fluent in English. I chose the ELS Language Center at Eckerd
College in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Although I enjoyed that program, I found that due
to the large classes I was unable to work on my conversation skills. I found English in
Florida on the Internet, and signed up for afternoon private lessons with Mike. Each
afternoon we talked and talked and Mike corrected my mistakes and gave me lessons on
my weak points. Of course, my student visa did not cover my time with him, but it was
on my own time over and above my group lessons. It was a perfect combination of
group classes and individual instruction. I couldn't be more pleased with my study
abroad program, and returned to Seoul very confident in my English ability."
