Maxim, 44, Plastic Surgeon

Обратился к Гарольду по совету своего коллеги, уехавшего работать в израильскую клинику. Он проходил курс медицинского английского. Как и мой коллега, я очень доволен результатом. Смог заметно расширить свой словарный запас. Узнал профильную лексику. С таким багажом английского отправляюсь за границу. Спасибо Гарольду за терпение и дружелюбие.

Курс оказался очень познавательным и информативным. Я получил возможность не только узнать новые слова, но и научился их применять в реальной практике – во время составления историй болезни, общения с англоговорящими пациентами, чтения инструкций и отчетов на английском. Могу с определенностью сказать, что курс будет полезен каждому медику, кто планирует работать за рубежом или общается с иностранцами.
