I am Tran from Hai Phong, Vietnam. I am currently working for a Canadian education consulting company. I started FLS International in 2013 for five months. After that, the Universal Placement Program helped me
study with FLS, my teachers prepared me very well. I was chosen for Public Policy School along with 8 other students. We were trained in policies lobbying by two amazing political science professors. Due to my outstanding language skills and public speaking skills, I was chosen to travel to Washington DC to meet with Senators, congressmen and different NGO organization founders. I got accepted by four different universities: UCB, UCSB, San Jose State University, and University of Oregon.
---- Tran, FLS Student (Vietnam)
Study at FLS changed my life. I had so many opportunities to make many friends and to broaden my horizons. In addition, it is possible to meet students who are from different countries. For example, Japan, China, Thailand, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Russia, etc. In this way, I was able to learn different countries’ cultures. Moreover, I was able to stay with homestay family. I learned American culture from my host family. Additionally, students can go to downtown LA which is a beautiful and exciting city. For these reasons, FLS students will be able to have a life-changing experience studying English at FLS.

Pathway at FLS
I studied at FLS Citrus College, then transferred to Citrus College. After two years of study at Citrus College, I entered the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
I improved English very effectively at FLS, which has as many as 18 levels, and has many elective classes to offer as well. My transfer to Citrus College from FLS Citrus was seamless since FLS has an agreement with the college. When I had the questions about the college, FLS and UPP
with dates, so I was able to focus on brushing up my English ability until right before the college started. I was able to transfer most of the units I obtained in Citrus College to UCLA, and my counselor at Citrus College helped me through the process of applying for the university.
I am so happy that I signed up for FLS program to start my education journey in America!
