哈佛遊學中心代辦心得




當我決定要去英國遊學時,原本想要自己線上申請語言學校,可是父母非常不放心,最後只好到南陽街晃晃,找一家代辦來幫我。
但是在這茫茫的補習街之中,只有哈佛吸引了我的目光,因為他們裝潢明亮,而且不只一位櫃台小姐坐在那,穿著制服看起來很親切,而最後也證明了我的選擇是對的。
在詢問的過程當中,我的顧問Fen提供了很多資訊,也向我介紹英國幾個城市的特色,哪邊好玩、哪邊好逛,最重要的是,因為是第一次自己出國,家人希望有個伴可以跟我一起去,而顧問也真的幫我找到一個一樣要去英國的學生,讓我的英國之旅能夠順利成行。
時間和地點都確定了以後,顧問就開始和學校聯繫,辦理一些手續,在這過程之中,常常一有問題就寫信給顧問,而親切的Fen總是迅速且不厭其煩的回答我的問題,讓我能夠很快的了解狀況。也因為決定的時間比較晚,出發的日期又是在七月的旅遊旺季,本來很擔心會訂不到機票,但是最後還是順利的排到了位子!
在出發之前,哈佛也很貼心的為我們安排幾堂留遊學的預備班,教我們一些出國會用到的基本對話、能夠吸引人的自我介紹,以及有可能遇到的一些狀況,和如何與外國人打招呼之類的生活細節。而老師上課的方式非常活潑,經驗也很豐富,讓我在出發之前就已經做好準備。
到了英國之後顧問也會寫信問候,關心我們的狀況,讓我在有問題的時候不會因為語言不通而求助無門。總而言之這一趟旅程讓我玩得非常開心,也很值得,如果以後還有機會,我還是會找哈佛的!

哈佛遊學中心代辦心得




去英國前也沒想這麼多,就一口氣把所有的資料辨好,機票一買就飛出去,這樣才有冒險的精神。本想在英國才會發現自已會面對怎樣的問題,面對到了再想辨法解決。但是到了英國才體會到自已不是每一個問題遇到了都能夠了解解決。無助的時後就只能找有經驗的代辨團隊(Fen)。任何可能發生的事或是可能之後會遇到的問題都在代辨(Fen)的掌控下,會給我經驗的分享,給我解快的方案,和好的建議下我也可以更享受我在英國的日子,不會讓我有無助的感覺,感覺台灣還有人在看著我,和保護我,這讓我在遇到事時不在害怕,面對到的困難都能了解解決的方法,因此從中可學習到怎麼跟外國人處事應對,無形之中我的成長和進步是在台灣無法得到的。但我置身國外而內心確確實實得到台灣的溫暖。

來哈佛上哈佛
















曾經,我以為上哈佛大學只是個夢想2011 年的秋天,哈佛留遊學代辦,為我圓了哈佛夢 !
學生留學代辦心得
“我, 只是個再平凡也不過的女生, 沒有特別有名有望的推薦者, 也不曾參加過任何奧林匹亞等等國際型的比賽 …”我永遠記得, 我第一次到哈佛, 這樣介紹了自己 …
和我諮詢的顧問很親切, 在聊天的過程中, 他給了我相當多的信心, 讓我逐漸地感覺到自己是個很特別的人, 從一次又一次的撰寫讀書計畫, 履歷表, 以及申請文件的過程中, 我越來越了解自己的優點, 整個申請過程, 雖然辛苦, 卻是一段很讚的人生體驗 !
我的語文能力很強, 這就是我的優點 ! 我從小就很喜歡英文 ! 我喜歡說英文, 閱讀英文, 交外國朋友 …。第一次去哈佛諮詢時,我的托福就考了109。但我並不滿足,在哈佛老師的指導下,我得到 115 的高分。雖然依照我的語言程度,若是由自己來完成所有的申請流程, 也並非難事。但是,我和我母親還是最終決定找哈佛代辦 ! 畢竟申請學校的過程是漫長的,除了要準備考試之外,還需要完成大量的文件,這時候,如果有群專業的代辦團隊,在一旁協助申請,的確會到達事半功倍的效果,也讓我的申請流程跑得更順利。
一般人都以為申請找代辦,一定就是甚麼事都不需要動手,總期待代辦公司從 Essays到文件包裝通通一手包辦,其實,這是不對的想法。代辦中心將原本九十分的我,再包裝成九十九分的我。這中間,需要雙方不斷的溝通及配合,才能達到請代辦中心協助的最佳功效。此外,我要感謝哈佛代辦團隊中,主修文學的外籍顧問Geof。我認為申請大學的成敗關鍵,就在於Essays的寫作表達。我幾乎每周固定與Geof顧問會面數次,從想法的建構到修改文件,申請過程一路走來,是踏實的,而非手忙腳亂的。
我推薦哈佛代辦。真的只有接觸後才知道好。他們雖然沒有華麗的裝潢及設備,顧問群卻擁有一顆協助學生們一起打拼上陣的熱情和決心,在他們的口中只有滿滿的鼓勵,讓我更相信我自己,也更了解我自己。
因此,我很感謝哈佛代辦團隊在這一年以來給予我的幫助與支持,謝謝哈佛代辦,幫我圓了哈佛夢。

哈佛遊學中心代辦心得(留學代辦)

Justine顧問您好,

真的很謝謝您,也很謝謝哈佛帶給我的一切。承蒙哈佛的幫忙,讓我現在可以進Claremont Graduate University就讀Business of Bioscience。

因為大學的GPA只有3.12,英文也不是特別厲害,交大生科畢業,退伍之後,我沒有辦法直接申請到理想的學校,於是在父親的公司幫忙,就這樣開始踏入商業的領域。出國念書一直是我的夢想,但基礎科學憑良心說我真的很沒興趣。有一天,我覺得台灣的業務已經摸熟了,短時間也學不到新的東西,我跟我父親說我要到LA闖,一切從零開始無所謂。

在哈佛的協助下,我到UCLA念語文學校,也順利第一名畢業。父親銷售的總部在LA,他希望我未來的幾年可以留在LA。在他的"地盤"下,我很有效率的把這邊的業務弄熟(其實算是全年無休長時間的工作),也努力的替我父親開疆闢土,同一時間這邊的同仁也盡心盡力的把我的商業英文訓練好。日不暇給的狀況下,哈佛一點一滴的協助我順利申請到這麼適合我的program。這個program把生物科技跟商學院的課程做整合,未來兩年所學的一切,是我所期待的跟需要的。這對我,對公司未來的發展的重要性,真的是意義非凡。

哈佛遊學中心代辦心得



















By Kevin



踏進英國, 來到Brighton, 只能用心曠神怡來形容現在的感受! 眼前的景象就像電影般浮現在眼前 – Perfect !
還記得一個月前, 還在躊躇著要不要出國遊學這件事. 家裡的人建議我到南陽街去問問看. 琳瑯滿目的招牌, 濃濃的補習氣息, 不得不說我討厭這樣的氣氛. 就在準備溜之大吉時, 一個轉彎, 赫然發現我站在哈佛留遊學代辦的中心的門前, 或許, 這就是天意吧! 接下來的這一小步, 造就了我現在在Brighton的這一大步… 哈哈!
踏進哈佛, 第一印象是”每個小姐都好熱情喔! ”, 經由英國顧問Fen的詳細分析, 我找到了出國的衝動! 第一次的諮詢, 打破了我對代辦中心的印象, 一直以為他們應該很勢利, 見錢眼開. 但是, 顧問卻一心再幫我想辦法降低預算. 還替我一一解釋了每個城市的風格和特色. 隨後不但很貼心的替我安排所有隨之而來的後續工作, 還輔導我準備所有行前事宜!
眼前的陽光, 海洋, 沙灘, 海鷗, 美女, 比基尼~~ 不敢相信我真的來到了這個夢幻國度! 接下來的這8週, 我還要去見見英女皇旗下的各大景點! 感謝我親愛的家人的支持, 還有哈佛的各方協助! 很快台灣見!

我的字典裡沒有放棄,但你的字典有吹喇叭嗎?

以前如果你會說英語,大家可能就會對於抱以崇拜的眼神。

但現在你開口說英文,大家可能還會說發音很像不太道地,文法有些錯誤勒。

如何再次獲得眾人的崇拜呢?推薦你本年度最屌最辣的英文書

由陳弈老師編寫,讓你不在詞窮。

舉例來說:砲友的英文怎麼說,絕對不是cannon friends。

打野炮的英文怎麼說,打手槍的英文怎麼說!

我想你們一定很想知道吧,不要懷疑趕快訂購

如果來哈佛門市購買,還有另外的折扣喔!

托福高分心得

◎ 姓名: 張詩芸 ◎報名班別: 托福100分保證班
◎ 申請獎學金成績
▇托福
考試日期: 2011/06/11 成績: 104(R27/L27/S23/W27)

一、您為何選擇哈佛?
哈佛的上課時間很彈性,很適合上班族自己安排適合的時間,師資也很豐富,學員可依自己程度及喜好,挑選教學風格符合自己期待的課去上。另外有贈送非常多的模考機會,可以在考試前先熟悉介面操作,減少考試時因緊張影響表現的可能性。
二、哈佛的課程及老師的教法如何?有何優點?
1. 課程面:(請舉出至少兩個班別實例)
聽說大班課程主要著重在聽的部分,會教很多聽關鍵字的訣竅及作筆記的技巧,且題目相當真實,對於聽力實力會有極大幅度的提升;課程中也都會排入口說的練習機會,雖然時間相對較少,但老師會提點答題重點及技巧,也會讓同學兩兩抓對練習,頗有效率。
口說小班人數控制得當,老師會針對每個同學的狀況加以訓練及調整,更會非常仔細的針對口說各題擬定對策及模版,更會有極大量的練習機會,讓我們在短時間集訓後可以有效搶分。
2. 老師教法:(請舉出至少兩個老師實例)
彭湘平老師的聽說大班A/B版及口說小班都是必上的好課,A/B版著重的練習點有所不同,建議兩版都聽完,每週作業也要跟上,然後用這個方法去作TPO,聽力分數即會有很大幅度的提升;口說小班老師會很仔細的去盯每個學生的程度跟進度,除了教授搶分技巧外,老師也會針對每個人的弱項設計客制化的作業,遇到任何問題寫信問老師,也都會在第一時間得到解答,從對自己的聽/說完全沒有信心,到最後相信自己作得到而且也能順利拿下這樣的分數,我最感謝的人就是彭湘平老師。
高晴老師的閱讀課會教我們針對各種題型的答題技巧,讓我學會如何在最短的時間內搶分,爭取時間對付困難的題目;老師也會補充大量的常考單字及替換字,若能跟上老師進度並確實做完作業,可以有效增進閱讀的速度,並熟悉頻考的單字。
三、請分享您在準備考試的過程中獨到的學習方法。(請選擇至少兩個類別並舉例說明)
1. 聽力:
從開始就知道自己英聽的實力不堪一擊,所以這也是我相對花比較多功夫準備的科目。非常推薦彭湘平老師的聽力課,建議A/B版都要上完,從怎麼聽關鍵字、怎麼分段、怎麼作筆記開始學起。除了上課外,老師每堂都會有作業(通常都會在禮拜天或禮拜一取得檔案),所以星期三上完課,我會要求自己在星期六之前,把這周上課的內容複習完,然後星期日到星期二把當周作業。另外我有以極慢的進度開始作坊間買得到的拖福聽力練習題,做的時就是盡量用老師教的方式做筆記,寫完題目對完答案後再度重聽音檔對筆記,看聽第二次是不是有多聽到一些細節,第三次聽就是看著文稿聽,確認沒聽到的部分是否是單字的問題。考前一個月,我才開始兩天作一份TPO並檢討,方法跟之前一樣,此外,我會開始把聽力音檔速度調快,讓自己習慣快一點點的速度,我覺得這非常有效,因為實際上場考試時,馬上就會發現速度沒有平常練習時那麼快,每個字都可以聽得非常清楚,也來得及抄筆記。
2. 閱讀:
剛開始準備時,我一方面上高晴老師的閱讀課,一方面從托福基礎字彙及進階字彙開始看,看的時候我都是先很快的瀏覽書內所附的文章,想一下自己大概懂幾成後,再開始細看並查不懂的單字,同時我以極悠閒的態度把OG前面的說明全部掃過一遍,讓自己熟悉閱讀的出題模式及選項陷阱。等八周閱讀課上完後,我就開始做OG及黃金閱讀的題目,為了逼自己加快閱讀的速度,以避免應付實際考試時可能因緊張或其他因素影響的風險,我每篇閱讀只給自己十分鐘的時間,我都是先看題目及選項再回頭找文章,但找到考題範圍後,會順便把範圍前後兩句順便讀一下。單選題部份我每題設定的答題時是30秒,時間到了若不能確定答案,就用刪去法先選一個機率比較大一點選項,然後等整篇閱讀都做完,再用剩下的10分鐘悠閒地回頭確認每一題的答案,並認真思考不確定的那幾題應該如何作答。做完題目對完答案後,我會回頭檢討,細讀整篇文章並查單字,然後重新檢視一次所有的題目,確認我答對的每一題是否都不是僥倖,也確認答錯的題目都知道錯在哪裡。最後半個月,我開始用電腦做TPO(其實內容跟黃金閱讀都一樣),讓自己熟悉在電腦上閱讀並作答的感覺,並且再次確認還有沒有不熟悉的單字加強背誦。到這時就開始說服自己閱讀應該可以搶分沒問題了。
四、您對其他正在準備此測驗的考生有何建議?
因為托福考試聽說讀寫都要考,對於傳統的臺灣學生來說也許會感到恐懼,但是實際準備後會發現有很多技巧可以運用,這些哈佛的老師都會很仔細的教授,只要穩定自己的心,好好的跟上進度,課後併按著老師們教授的方法作TPO練習,行有餘力多去模考,100分其實是可以達成的,希望學員們也都能順利取得好成績!
