Directors in San Diego
In October this year, we had the annual Directors meeting hosted by LSI San Diego, where many of the LSI Directors from around the world attended! It is not often that this many Directors are in the same place at the same time, so it was a great opportunity to get a photo of them! Included in the photo is (left to right): Chris Beck (Director LSI Vancouver), Phil Scherb (Director LSI Cambridge), Andrea Pala (Director LSI Auckland), Steven Nicholson (LSI San Diego), Katherine Romero (LSI Boston), Lauren Macdonald (LSI San Diego University Pathways Coordinator), Lee Ramsey (LSI Accounts North America), Kerry Linder (LSI New York), Linda Walsh (LSI Vancouver), David Smith (LSI USA Accounts), and David Immanuel ( Managing Director).

WORK RIGHTS FOR STUDENT VISA HOLDER

LSI Students at Auckland
In October the NZ Government announced that all English Language Students who apply for a Student Visa for courses of 14+ weeks in duration, at a Category 1 provider, will be eligible to work for 20 hours per week for the duration of their studies (no IELTS requirement). We are delighted to confirm that LSI Auckland is a Category 1 provider, and therefore all our students on student visas will be permitted to work for 20 hours per week. Category 1 refers to the NZQA category for high quality schools – at LSI Auckland we are very proud of our Category 1 status, and it is nice to see the Government rewarding high quality schools.

What Our Students Have to Say About Us

Vicky Catalano, from Italy:

Our testimonial this month is from our student Vicky Catalano from Italy, who studied English for Business with private lessons at LSI New York recently. Although Vicky's course was a short term course, she really enjoyed her time with LSI! Thank you Vicky and we hope that you can come back to study with LSI soon.

"Even if I stayed here for only a few days, I had the luck to meet some special people—classmates, teachers, and administrators. It was useful and I am grateful. On the one hand I felt familiarity; on the other, I felt the support I need to improve my English and the things I need for business. In a few days, thanks to my teachers, I improved my listening and vocabulary. I can speak and understand much better. This helped me realize what school is, and what school is for. It was wonderful for me and my business, too. The school reps are professional and helped me feel trust in a city that I didn't know. The agent was a great person. And many thanks for all, to my teachers—my course was short but I hope to come back for many weeks."
