I really enjoyed everything. The teachers were the best that I´ve had. Location and facilities are good, however I would like you to have a coffee shop or some place where students can find something to eat and drink.

The school planed a lot of activities where we could go which was really nice. The location was perfect, it was not to far away from my home and not right downtown where the traffic gets really bad.

There are teachers they have quite a large engagement and others are for example not really good prepared ore are in the class not really good in teaching.
Näytä yksityiskohdat » Lue lisää...It was far beyond my expectation. Very good. The organization, the infrastructure, the teachers, everything was good.
The discipline asked was a real immersion in the American culture and attitudes.
It was my first experience of studying at ELS. The location was excellent, with parking and near the downtown. I really liked the teachers, especially Mr. Jason (VOC) and Mr. Jim (SSP). I didn`t like the LTC. Unfortunately, I only had three weeks to stay at the ELS because I needed to return to my country. I hope to return in the near future. Thanks.

The school has very nice teachers good place for learning funny lesson with (Samir and Tim) but also bad teachers (Atalla) was very disappointing not sympathetic for a teacher boring lessons.

If I could go to study the school once,I will be able to speak English better. I liked all of classes. If you consist, I liked speaking class the best. This class is very profitable for me to speak and pronounce English.
Thank you for teaching me English!!!
The classes were very nice. The teaching methods were almost perfect. In Lauren's class (TOEFL class) I really learned how to mãe the test and I did well because of her. The only problem was in Tim's class, because his teaching methods were not that good. Instead of explaining the students doubts, he just kept telling the same things. Also he took the students to a field trip to do a survey in a parking lot and that activity did not improved my English at all, it was just some useless activity to fill up some free time from the class. It was terrible, but it was not ELS's fault.
About the facilities I think it was just perfect. Everything was clean, everything worked perfectly, the administration had this care with the students (answering doubts, solving problems, etc). It was awesome.
The activities were impressive, because I never studied in a school where there were so many activities (going to a baseball game, tips about parks, museum tips) and the small events at the first and last day. Very different from other classes I have had and much better.
I was not in the housing program, because of that I do not have an opinion about it.
The experienced was really an enriching one, from a social point of view. Even if you're a little bit shy as I am, you will find you will be making friends with people from different countries. As regards the teacher and the classes they were really good, all teachers were kind, respectful, and cool to hang out with. The only drawback is that I think I could have been on higher level, however the things they thought us were things I've already studied. Other than that it was a great experience.

Näytä yksityiskohdat » Lue lisää...I liked it a lot. It was way more intense than I first thought, but it was only for the better.
I had a very good month at ELS. It was a good learning environment.
I liked almost all of my teachers. They were prepared for giving interesting classes. I had a good experience knowing other people and other cultures, and also going on incredible trips. The only thing that I would change is the SSP class because I think they need to make you talk more and focus on your pronunciation. Aside from this though, everything was perfect.

The only negative was that not all books were provided. Unfortunately, during my three weeks, there were not much events and activities at school.
There were students from different countries: Brazil, Venezuela, Japan, Turkey, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Bolivia, Indonesia. We spent time together and learnt more about each other’s countries.
The program was intensive and helped to improve language skills.
I was living at a homestay. Two more students were living with me in that house. At the dinner table, we had a chance to talk in English a lot. Also, there was a Halloween party organized by the homestay. A lot of students from other schools came to that party. It was a wonderful experience to talk to people and get to know them.
The house was a bit far away from school. It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to school. I rode the buses. During my first day at my homestay, the family dropped me off at school then showed me how to use the buses. Also, at the homestay, I was allowed to do laundry.
In general, my trip was exciting and memorable.
What I liked was that the school was very close to the student residence. It was easy to take the bus, and there were nearby shopping centers.

So in the end you had it like an individual lesson. The location of the ELS in Houston is really nice. Next to the school, there is a CVS and a private university names "University of St. Thomas". There you can have your lunch in the cafeteria with little money. The area also has good connections with the bus and it´s just 3 minutes with it to the museum district. The school offers you some activities for your free time and the students are very nice. In the end I can say it was a good decision to choose the ELS and I would do it again.

Me emme voi anoa viisumeja opiskelijoiden puolesta. Koulu voi kuitenkin tarjota viisumihakemukseen tarvittavat lomakkeet.
Jos aiot opiskella Yhdysvalloissa kokopäiväisesti enemmän kuin 18 tuntia viikossa, saat I-20 -lomakkeen joka on toimitettava USA:n suurlähetystöön yhdessä F -1 viisumihakemuksen kanssa. I-20 -lomakkeessa on mukana SEVIS hakunumero. Opiskelijoiden, jotka anovat viisumia on maksettava SEVIS maksu verkossa ennen USAN:n konsulaatissa ja suurlähetystössä tapahtuvaa haastattelua.
I-20 -kaavake lähetetään kotiosoitteeseesi postitse veloituksetta. jos haluat saada materiaalit pikakirjeenä, siitä veloitetaan rekisteröitymisen yhteydessä $110 maksu.
Ole hyvä ja ota huomioon, että Yhdysvaltain lakien mukaan I-20 voidaan myöntää ainoastaan opiskelijoille, jotka opiskelevat englantia kokopäivätoimisesti. F-1 viisuminhaltija ei ole oikeutettu osa-aikaiseen työhön Yhdysvaloissa oleskelun aikana. Jos opiskelet englantia vähemmän kuin 18 tuntia viikossa, tulee sinun anoa itsenäisesti vierailuviisumia (B1/B2).

Esitä kysymysNo. We cannot make an exception simply because of the huge demand for those courses.
If ELS has accepted him and if he only takes privtae lessons for one week, the only other thing we require is a letter from his Company.
Yes we do. We require all documents just like an initial enrolment.
Technically, yes ,the student would need the I-20 for the Semi-Intensive program if she is entering the US with the primary purpose of studying this program.
That is because this program meets the US Government minimum required hours to qualify as an “Academic Program.”
No. Our minimum age is 16.
All of our ELS Centers are official TOELF Testing locations.
However, the only TOELF program with the fee for the test included is the full 3-session TOEFL program. The student would need to pay and sign-up independently for the TOEFL exam if he is only taking the 2-session program. He would need to do this through the ETS website and ELS does not invoice this.
No we do not.
We cannot guarantee this. But we will try, subject to availability.
Yes. One-to-one lessons are available at all centers.
