Running an English Academy is a booming business in The Philippines particularly in the Queen City of the South Cebu City. Since the first ESL school (CPILS) was founded in 2001 in the said city, foreign students which mostly include Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, Thai and Chinese, have kept coming back in here. The fact can't be denied that what started to be an experiment of these foreign investors putting up an English as a Second Language (ESL) school in this city more than a decade has passed turned out to be a turning point for this kind of business to be a phenomena. Currently, there are hundreds of ESL schools that are operational in Cebu alone.
And certain aspects are believed to be the reasons that draw foreigners to study in here. First things first, One major factor is the one-on-one classes that are offered by these schools plus the chance for foreign students to often speak in English as they are surrounded by the local people who speak the language well. As we all know that Filipino teachers are undoubtedly of good caliber and considered the best English speakers in Asia. That's because we are good at imitating English native speakers' accent and pronunciation. Besides, we are very knowledgeable about English grammar and above all our hospitality towards foreigners. A clear sign of how much we care for them that we're here to always give them a helping hand that goes beyond studying English. Thus, we earn their respect.
