My name is Ana and I am from Rio, Brazil.  I am a journalist and VR (Virtual Reality) filmmaker.  I am attending the TOEFL training program because I am applying to a master’s degree program in the U.S.  I’ve been studying at New York English Academy (NYEA) for six weeks and I can tell how much my English has improved.   The class is focused on preparing students for the TOEFL test and also to develop writing and speaking skills.  The course will help me a lot in my career – to help write professional emails, prepare essays for my school application, and to talk to people that I meet in the city.  NYEA is always promoting social activities for the students and it is also in a very good location!
