Graduate Profile

Ai Mukrami Japan

Ai came to New Zealand after she finished High School in Japan and it was

her first time away from home. She studied English at the NMIT English

Language Programme and achieved her IELTS 6 in only one year.

The classes were small and my teacher helped me a lot. He made lessons so

easy to learn, because he organised lots of games and activities to learn new

vocabulary. We had so much fun! Ai enjoyed her stay in Nelson right from

the beginning. She always felt quite at home due to the nice people and

the beautiful weather in Nelson. I still keep in touch with many of my

classmates even after two years.

Now Ai is studying International Business at Victoria University. She misses Nelson so much, that

she comes back for holidays.
