Pattarin Siripornpak

Hi, my name is Pattarin Siripornpak. I am from Bangkok, Thailand and have been living in New Zealand for a year and a half. I am currently studying Commerce at The University of Auckland.

The first course I studied was English for five months at ACG English School. I studied English before I moved to The University of Auckland Certificate in Foundation Studies programme for one year. I had a really good time at ACG and made a lot of friends from different countries. It is really exciting to learn various cultures as well as a new lifestyle. The teachers were very nice and friendly. They were all professional in teaching and always guided in students how to do well in the exams, and encouraged students to work hard. Mr. Naidoo (my teacher at ACG English School) and Mr. Beeton (my Accounting teacher) both greatly influenced me to achieve my goals. Along with efficient teachers, the curriculum that ACG has designed is also relevant to what I am studying at University. This is really helpful to me and makes it much easier for me to cope with my university lifestyle.
