Testimonial
Victor Oliveira
What can I say about my exchange experience? I loved it! I think every young person should spend some time abroad learning English or another language — whether during high school, university, or like I did, while already working. What I appreciated most about WTS was their flexibility in working with the school I personally chose, even though it wasn’t already partnered with them. They connected with the school I wanted, and everything was handled with great care and professionalism. I truly felt supported every step of the way.
Expertise in International Education
