Courses in Los Angeles

Available courses

    Our school’s most popular courses are the Standard and Intensive programs, which consist of 20 and 30 English lessons per week, respectively. The Standard course runs from 09:00 to 12:45 each weekday, leaving you with your afternoons free to explore L.A. and California. Taking place from 09:00 to 15:30, the Intensive course helps you to learn more over the same period.

    The most effective way to learn English is with Private Lessons. As you’ll be the only student, classes will be tailored to suit your requirements and your teacher can devote all of their time to improving your language skills. You’ll quickly overcome any problems you may have with the language and learn more English than you ever thought possible!

    You can take Private Lessons to complement a group-based course. In addition to 20 group classes each week, the Combined Course includes 10 individual classes, which are ideal for reinforcing language learnt during group sessions.

    If you plan to take a long-term English course in Los Angeles, you may wish to consider an Academic Year program. You’ll become totally immersed in the English language and Californian way of life, enjoying English lessons at a lower weekly price!

    Specialised programs are also available, including English & Tennis and Exam Preparation courses. There’s even an English & Surfing course, so you can make the most of California’s amazing surf whilst you study!

    Please contact us if you require further information concerning any of our English courses.
