Greetings! It's been a couple of months since my family moved to Panama. It's quite an experience spending the year-end holiday season here in the Panamanian summer, and reaping the benefits first-hand of knowing how to communicate in an international language to handle day-to-day tasks.

The BBT online academy has focused on delivering high quality English programs to multilingual students. Our classes are small, enthusiastic, and led by dependable, professional teachers. We are grateful to parents who have entrusted the kids to our organization and have referred us to their close friends. We promise that we will continue to fine-tune our operations, to grow into an educational center that you can trust and rely on.

We are introducing some exciting changes in the new year:

• BBT Academy will be rebranded as BBTila (BBT International Language Academy). We will add a couple more international languages, including Mandarin and Arabic.
• There will be a tuition increase. This is to ensure continued attention to quality and retention of professional teaching staff.
• We will offer a premium package to students who can benefit from writing support. Extra admin support, including progress assessment & reporting, are provided to our Premium Members who sign up for more than 3 months.

Furthermore, we appreciate all the feedback and support you've given to us. To better accommodate the needs of the parents, we are launching a parent ambassador program, where the parents can get involved in setting the future direction of the Academy. Please see the details below.

Thanks again for your continued support, and may I wish you a joyful start to 2022, from all of us at BBTila.
