Classes Types

Group Lessons (20 hrs a week)
Our group classes have a maximum of 6 people to ensure personalized instruction. Students progress through the levels and every two weeks exams are given to re-assign advancing students into their new classes.
 
Schedule: Start dates every Monday

NOTE: Class sessions are in the morning (9-1) and in the afternoon (2-6).
 
Private Lessons (20 hrs a week)
Some students choose to take private lessons with a professor for more individualized attention.   Private classes are also an excellent idea for professionals who seek a specialized vocabulary for  specific situations. Individual (one-to-one) courses may begin any Monday.

Group + Private (25-30 hrs a week)
Those students interested in a more intensive program have the option to take both group and private classes. You may also choose this option temporarily if you are having trouble with a certain concept and desire additional assistance.

Tutorial Sessions
Extra language assistance provided to students to help them work on problem areas.
Every day a teacher is available full time to assist students in specific topics they need extra attention, reading suggestions, questions related to homework, etc. This is an extra value service, not comparable to private instruction but definitely beneficial to provide all the students maximum support.
