The course contains everything that is needed to pass the TOEFL with the maximum score. The instructor is surprisingly adequate and always willing to help his students. By "adequate" I mean that he is a 100% true professional instructor. No doubts here. He designed his own study books for the course. The books are greatly structured, contain almost everything and nothing in excess. I absolutely love them. The teaching strategy is amazing. I recommend Terra Nova because to be taught by Andrei Fiodorov isn't only about English and exams. I think I learned a lot from him. He can be friends with teens. Probably, for the first time in my life I found studying so empowering and interesting. If you go to Terra Nova, appreciate every moment. I prayed that the days would last, but they went so fast.

Terra Nova is the best TOEFL preparation school in Chișinău. Not only are the classes extremely interesting and educational, but also the instructor is very helpful and always supportive. I think what makes Terra Nova so special is the fact that here you not only learn grammar and do exercises, but also learn interesting facts about different sciences, such as geography, biology, and ecology, American culture, and so much more! I strongly recommend this school to everyone who wishes to prepare for the TOEFL!

I recommend Terra Nova as a unique school. Besides gaining knowledge of English, I acquired a lot of knowledge from different sciences such as physics, geography, and biology. The teacher is another reason to choose Terra Nova. He is always cheerful and has a great sense of humor. However, do not think that the school will do the work for you. If you want to study hard but need a compass, then this is the right place for you, otherwise, relax and enjoy your life. Peace and Merry Christmas to everyone!

I strongly believe that choosing Terra Nova English Language Center was one of the most sensible and prudent decisions that I have ever made. I am very thankful to Andrei Fiodorov, who was not only a TOEFL instructor for me, but also a magnificent personality who always inspired and motivated me to work harder and not to give up on my plans. The things that I like most about Terra Nova are the high quality of the classes and the well-planned program, which allowed me to focus on my goal of passing the TOEFL successfully. The four TOEFL mock tests gave me the opportunity to learn from my mistakes, to prepare better, and to see my improvements. I liked that Andrei checked my essays very meticulously and he taught me to express my ideas more expressively and correctly. I adored the delicious cookies, coffee, tea, and the inspirational plate "Tomorrow's dreams will blossom from the seeds we sow today" above the classroom door. It made me feel extremely comfortable and much more inspired to follow the path of tremendous accomplishments. Furthermore, at this school, I felt like I was among my friends. I met impressive and outstanding people with similar interests, believes, and attitudes, and we always helped one another to gain fruitful results. Preparing for the TOEFL was not easy for me, but being surrounded by such a professional instructor and friendly classmates made me feel more confident and motivated during the process of learning.
I absolutely could not have asked for a better, delightful, and more eye-opening experience. I will always respect and admire my TOEFL instructor, Andrei Fiodorov. The classes were so enjoyable that I do not even think that I will ever forget those days. I am really going to miss my teacher and classmates.

Terra Nova is the best choice for you if you need to prepare for the TOEFL or just to learn English. Andrei Fiodorov is a professional instructor and a very good person. With him and this course, my preparation for the TOEFL went very easily, and I passed the exam with a good score and without any troubles.

Terra Nova provided an entertaining and well-developing course. In 15 weeks, I succeeded to enhance not only my English skills, but also my science-related knowledge. Moreover, the instructor always guided us when needed and answered our questions. The materials were well chosen and written - they helped a lot throughout the semester, and they will help me in the future too. I would recommend this course to people who want to get a high TOEFL iBT score and to develop themselves in various domains, gaining the knowledge that they will not get in an ordinary TOEFL prep course that focuses only on the structure of the test. Furthermore, you will meet interesting people and you will discover new ideas. I strongly believe that this course was a good investment of money and time, and it will be for others too.

As a student at Terra Nova, I met Andrei about four months ago. During this time, he was preparing our group for taking the TOEFL iBT Exam. Above all, I was impressed by Andrei's well-rounded personality and his fascinating life experience in a broad variety of domains. As an instructor, he constantly tried to engage his students in the learning process and made it delightful for everyone. For example, some students in our group experienced difficulties with science-related content. Having a full understanding of that fact, Andrei showed us supplementary information from diverse resources and initiated debates on those topics. As a result, we all enthusiastically became engaged in interesting conversations and learned the material faster and more efficiently. In conclusion, I would like to thank Andrei for his excellent job. With enormous pleasure, I will recommend his school to all my friends.

Andrei Fiodorov is one of the best teachers that I have met. Terra Nova is the place where students can gain experience and acquire knowledge. I mostly like the fact that specific topics are explained in detail so that people who are interested gain a large amount of knowledge. I really enjoyed studying at Terra Nova and highly recommend it to everyone who wants to improve his or her English skills and pass the TOEFL test.

I do not regret that I enrolled in the TOEFL Preparation Course at Terra Nova. Besides English grammar and TOEFL iBT's structure, I learned much information on geology, biology, zoology, etc. The process was very interesting. Andrei is not only a great instructor but also a great interlocutor. He has a good sense of humor, knowledge of different things so that no one gets bored in class. The books that students are given at Terra Nova offer a great amount of information that is extremely useful on the exam. The classroom is cozy, full of things that students may need while in class (water if they want to drink, some cookies if they are hungry). In general, if someone decides to pass the TOEFL iBT with a high score, he or she should take the TOEFL Preparation Course at Terra Nova! I am very grateful to Andrei for his work!

Taking the TOEFL preparation course at Terra Nova was an unforgettable experience that not only helped me prepare for the test, but also improved my general knowledge and English skills. Due to a well-organized structure and an excellent teacher, I was constantly advancing my reading, listening, speaking, and writing abilities. As a result of the pandemic, more than half of the lessons were online. I would lie if I said that I liked it more than the traditional classes, which were more dynamic, but the teacher always found a way to keep the educational process interesting and productive. I highly recommend Terra Nova English Language Center to everyone who wants to pass the TOEFL successfully and spend their time efficiently, with intelligent and knowledgeable people.
