Terence F. Hoey: Our CEO and founder has worked for a number of major companies internationally in the fields of economics, management and training. He has over 27 years experience in language education and is the author and co-author of several ESP and teaching methodology publications. Unsatisfied with language schools focus on mere quantity of students he decided in 1994 to found the NEW LANGUAGE SCHOOL (later NLS-Institute of Foreign Languages). His main teaching objective has always been to help people define their goals and to better themselves. He still enjoys being in the classroom and uses a passion for teaching and fun in the lessons to help participants achieve their language goals. "27 years later, it still gives me great satisfaction to see others grow and become happier in their working and private lives. It's always a win/win situation."
