Professor Newton Lee and his team are very professional. I'm grateful for what they've done to help me achieve my dreams. It has always been my dream to teach in the US and without him, I couldn't find any ways to realize that. He helped me find a teaching job and guided me throughout the process. He's very kind and always answered my questions. I do not have the words to express my gratitude. thank you so much, you're amazing.

Saumya from India
With a Masters degree in Cinema, I was looking around possible ways to get experience in the American Film industry and I got connected to Mr. Lee, through IFERS.ORG. From the first step to the last, he helped me acquire an amazing year- long internship with a well reputed Production house in Los Angeles. I am excited to start my journey and would wish Mr. Lee the very best for his!
Mia from Serbia
I would like to thank Mr. Newton and his team for helping me to find a traineeship in the USA. From the beginning of my application until the very end they were very helpful and ready to answer all my questions. They have connected me to the company based in Boston that have offered me 18 months traineeship in digital marketing. I feel very lucky and grateful. My experience with Mr. Newton was very positive and I would definitely recommend him.
Dhaslie from Singapore
Dr. Newton Lee found the most amazing internship opportunity in Silicon Valley, California for me and my classmate so that we could intern in the same company. The process of resume review, job interview, finding accommodation, and airline booking went smoothly with guidance and great care from Dr. Lee and his associates. So, you wouldn't feel lost or overwhelmed. Dr. Lee gave me support before, during, and after my internship. The experience I gained at work was amazing, you got to learn a bunch of new technology and make many new friends in USA.

Ziad from Jordan
I thought finding a trainee program in USA was something difficult until I ran into Newton and his team, by far that was the greatest decision I have ever made in my life to work with Newton and IFERS on securing my trainee program. He is so transparent that you can easily bond and build trust with him and his team, and they always deliver on their words. They never let me down and never disappointed me as they ALWAYS provided support, answers, and solutions for everything you have in your mind, as they do also provide a wide spectrum of services that you'll find everything you need with them. They are so professional and I do encourage everyone to work with such an amazing person and amazing team as they will make your dreams come true! Thank you so much for you and for the amazing IFERS team for the support and the opportunity that you have provided me with, and I really appreciate you and your team for helping me achieve one of my greatest life goals ever!
