"A lot of our teachers use EF, but I continue to promote Holbrook. You get much more personal service than with the mega-companies.  Holbrook directly develops the relationships with the partners down in Costa Rica and they actively work together.  Holbrook staff has taken the time to develop and travel to all those places.  They actually know the people.  A much more intimate connection takes place when this happens.  Much more all around personal experience."
