Intensive 30

Teaching was excellent! I liked it a lot. The environment in class rooms was relaxed and encouraging for all students. The location of the school was great. My housing was also wonderful and the family so lovely!

I would like to have more activities with the other students in the evenings.
And sometimes there were quite a lot of students in the same class.

I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know about English, and I really enjoyed the teacher I had, I think that he explains everything very good. I also enjoyed the way the classes worked, It's very different from the European schools.

intensive teaching, smalle classes, good teacher who telle us when we made mistakes. Nice classrooms. Nice location.

It was ok, I am a bit disappointed with the accommodation that it was so far away from the school and in an unsafe neighborhood. As well as the breakfast was some toast and orange juice in the fridge, which was a shame. The school also didn't really organize any events or a weekend program.

Friendly staff & teacher
Dont like the chairs in the clasrooms, small space

Despite smaller issues at the very beginning concerning the scheduled classes, my overall experience was very good. The assigned teacher was prepared, engaged and I feel I made progress in my comprehension adn conversation skills.

I`m overall very satisfied for my stay in New York at LSI. From day one i felt a worm welcome and a good atmosphere. The facilities was very nice and the location sentral with good conetctions by subway. I had two great teachers in Michael and Martin. . There was a good balance between exercises, speaking and homework, and there is no doubt that i improved my english skills.

Thanks!

I just had a week to improve my skills on public speaking, so it was a short period. In spite of this, it was a very good experience. Cory is a very good teacher, and the location and facilities were adequate and nice.
Some aspects that prevent me not to say it was an excellent experience are:
1. In the first day, on Monday, I went to LSI in the morning, so the emails I've received before seems to ask me to do so. There, people told me it was not necessary, as my classes were in the afternoon. They were gentle inviting me to have a grammar class during that period, though. Maybe the information received before should be more clear about this topic.
2. I had the impression that some of my classmates had an English bellow my level. Sometimes, this situation made me feel like I was not in the right class.

Classes: interesting and inspiring
teachers: very well prepared and available to explain you 100 times everything
location: very easy to get to the school
facilities: there is an accessible kitchen with plats, cups, fridge, microwave. Very useful in this expensive city!
activities: they organise happy hours and cultural trips (library, museum etc).

This is a really good language school, not only that the environment is nice and clean with a great view but also the instructors are professional and easygoing. All staff in the school is very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend the school to everyone that is looking to study aboard.

I really liked this experience. I improved my language skills a lot. Teachers were really awesome, and their method was brilliant, I was really interested at class every day.

The school has also offered the opportunity to do some extra activities outside the school, I appreciated it because they gave the opportunity to discover new places and to know better classmates and teachers.
The school location was very good, it was really easy to come here for me.

I have experienced 10 x one2one lessons.

It has been such a great experience. From my first contact, I have had the feeling of competence, professionalism and kindness. I have been good taken care of during the entire period; I received all important information before I started, I had a warm welcoming on my first day and excellent dialogues during my lessons.

Even before my start, I got a greeting from my teacher who was preparing my first day. I was really impressed!

I give all my best recommendations.

Comfortable facilities, good teachers, classmates of different nationalities and a very good location.
What I don't like is that there are disagreements and sometimes they put the classes together when there was no teacher (Due to the pandemic)

My teacher was nice, I also liked the location and the facilities. Same for the activities, we went to the museum so it wasn't only classes. The housing was well because of the sport facilities but it wasn't a place where you can really meet other people unfortunately.
I also liked the fact that there were many different nationalities represented in the school (or at least a few that I'm not used to meet often).

I really loved the school. I think it was one of the best experiences in my life. Michael was one of the best teachers I ever had and the people that I got to know are friends now. One of the things that I loved about the school it’s how you can get to meet people of different countries and this really opened my mind for how I want to live my life for now on. Unfortunately it happened this situation with the corona virus and it had to end sooner than I expected, I was planning to extend my program

I was agreed with the housing, location of LSI, and Cindy as a Teacher in Grammar.
But in the afternoon the classes didn't be as I was expecting. They were thrown money. They were a social class. I didn't like it.
The Institute has a very good location. Barbara Williams, my host, was amazing, very kind.
I couldn't prepare the TOEFL. I've only had a review about my knowledges.
The best time to stay at LSI must be more than 4 weeks. This time isn`t enough if you are waiting to improve the language.
This thing you must advice.

It was a great experience and I learnt a lot. The teachers are really good. They are always patient and generous, and encourage students to do their best with English. The atmosphere is marvelous! So international! People from lots of different countries in a friendly, respectful environment. I really enjoyed my time there, made friends and improved my English a lot.

My teacher Ian was so knowledgeable about foreign cultures especially Japan and Korea, so it was easy to do casual conversation with him. He always prepared very interesting articles and videos for my lesson, and at the same time he always follow up my vulnerable point of my English skill, such as pronunciation, lack of a/an, etc.

The building’s location was very good and it was nice because there is lots of thing to see near the building. The teachers was very nice and motivating. He was always smiling and nice. The location was also good because it was no far from the subway so it was easy to get there. The only problem that I had, was that my schoolmates had a lower level in English so I didn’t progress much. This was a bit disappointing for me. At least, I met very nice people at the school.

My personal experience was very good. The facilities, location, access and services were excellent.

I am very happy to choose this course do to the content, the activities, the teacher and all the people of the Institute.

I would like to thanks all the people of the Institute!

During the classes I have learned the corrected pronunciation of some words.

It was very pleasant to study with people of different countries.

The building location is nice and also the structure, close to the subway station

I also have improved my listening

The classes are very nice and the didactic of teacher left the lessons even more interesting. The employees are gentle and friendly. The school is located on the 10th floor of a historic buidling near to my subway station. The school is clean, sunny, airy and spacious, with views of the Hudson River from the windows. The computer room offers free Internet and Wi-Fi. The student lounge is relaxing and the

I enrolled in a three-week course in New York. The course was good The teachers passed the material in an interesting and clear manner. Apart from learning English, the school offered a variety of activities.

I really enjoyed this experience.
I have to admit that I was a little reticent, because I did not know much of the language. But with the passing of classes, I began to feel more secure about it.
The teachers are very attentive, they know how to teach in a very fun way and that invites you to learn and to participate in the classes.
Although I found the grammar activities a bit repetitive, I liked the oral exercises and especially the excursion to the museum (met).
In short, I enjoyed the course and if possible I would like to repeat the experience.

I spent two weeks at LSI New York with One to One intensive course. School's location in Lower Manhattan is near to restaurants, public transports and café.
The school has been recently renewed; any class is equipped with multimedia resources for a learning experience at 360 degrees.
Quality of teaching is excellent, and organisation is very flexible to fit the need of students.

it was a good course for me that had improve my knowledge. I get to know about the tofel more and more, and the way my instructor taught me, made it very easy for me to know what to expect while am taking the exam. Overall, it was an experience that I really appreciate.

My experience for 2 weeks in the class at LSI NY was fantastic. Especially Daniel's lesson was a lot of fun. Afternoon activity was also nice. It was showed me around Manhattan in afternoon activity. I am satisfied with learning languages ​​and sightseeing at the same time.

I really liked the speaking class with the teacher and the location of the school as well!
My experience with the first host family wasn't what I expected but I'm thankful that Jill helped me look for another one quickly!

Being able to meet other people coming from all over the world and to discuss in English with them was particularly enjoyable.

The school itself is not so bad. It was very well equipped and modern. The professor was great as well. However, the main problem was at the level of orientation. The school accepted my request for a general English course for the afternoon class in level C1. However, when I got there, and after a placement test, they proposed me to join the business class. Although that I did not want business, I accepted according to their advice.The problem was that the class was not a C1 class. It was a mix of level of B1 and B2. So, for me it was not really useful. I was supposed to stay for two weeks, but after the first week, I thought that it is not a good idea to continue, especially that the fees were quite expensive.

And here's a question I would like to ask the school: Why did you accept a student who wanted a C1 General English course knowing that you do not have an appropriate class in the afternoon as he requested?

I only took a week intensive course, but it was a great experience to refresh my English and to learn lively American Business expressions, phrases, slangs. Very useful for real life situation. The teacher was very patient to listen to all students and to answer their questions.

I really liked the classes and the subjects. Teacher Michael was great; he is intelligent and fun. The location is perfect; the subway stopped in front of the school.

I liked the teachers; they were natives from USA and this was so good to improve my listening and comprehension. The location was perfect! I had good accessibility for public transportation. The facilities were okay too! I would have liked it more if I could buy my lunch at the school. It could be cheaper and better for the students in the afternoon class, because sometimes I saw that they didn’t have much time to take lunch.

I think the activities were good too. Probably one good idea is if we could do the activities that we liked – for example, every Friday we could watch a movie, or every week we read a book together, or listened the music. In this way, we could improve our language. Another idea for example is to go to a restaurant together because the first time for us is difficult; sometimes we don’t know how we can order, or what is being asked of us. Maybe in class, it would be better if we could practice some real life situations or things we really needed to know like going to the bank, a restaurant, the market, the laundry place, the subway, and others.

I stayed with my aunt, so I don’t have any opinions about accommodation.

There was nothing I did not like during my studies. I liked everything: the school facilities, the ways and methods of conducting all our classes, the teachers, and the business. I also liked the warm atmosphere that teachers could create in the classroom among students from different countries. Our classes covered pronunciation, grammar, fluency practice and Business English.

Everything is unforgettable for me! Thank you very much!

They had nice teachers and students, and were well-organized. The advanced level was a little bit too "easy" for me. (I was used to Engish books at the university). But if you only want to brush up and start talking in English again, LSI is the perfect choice for you. I was only in NY for a week.

For two weeks, I learned English in a very good atmosphere. The teachers were very thoughtful. I really appreciated everything.

The courses could be more personalized though.

I had no problems. However, the school is a bit too expensive compared to other schools.

I was only there for a week. Nevertheless I really liked the facilities of the school and the teacher. I'm not sure if it is truly recommendable for a short course since there is progress to be achieved and within a week it's not really possible. However, this is a matter of the student's time, not the school.

I had one-to-one classes in one week, with a really good teacher. Everything was perfect.

The classes, teachers, location, facilities, activities, and housing were all good

The outcome of the study depends on the teachers who teach you. One of my teachers was excellent. All teachers tried to do their best and had different styles but not all classes were intensive for me.
The location is great. The facilities are very good, the school is well equipped.

All teachers and administrative staff are friendly, helpful and attentive.

The location and facilities are very good. The classes are interesting. I have had classes with three teachers, two were very good and the third was regular. I would have liked to receive more practice and homework.

The students, as well as teachers, were great and wonderful at the school. Unfortunately, periods of participation for me were few and inadequate.

I really liked the location. The students there are very kind people and I had a lot of fun. I attended the TOEFL class and an upper intermediate class. The teachers were really kind, but the quality of teaching in upper intermediate class was not very good.

The teacher was interesting and I liked the way he taught us English.

My experience at Metropolitan College was good, but it depends on the teacher that you have.
My teacher during the afternoon classes, and since the second week of my course of my morning classes, was a very good and professional teacher. Her name is Hanna.

I stayed in the advanced level class for three weeks. I also had afternoon lessons three times a week. I had applied for the 55+ group, but that included no one else so the school organized for me to meet with a very nice teacher. We had lunch together and took excursions to places that interested both of us. We also took a trip to Liberty and Ellis Islands with the class. The teachers that I met were skilled, nice and made the lessons interesting, picking up news from today's newspapers that we could discuss and learn words and expressions from. We also had some grammar, we wrote short articles on different subject and did interviews with each other. It was interesting to meet young people from all around the world. We all could use computers and, if we needed, there were also printers attached to them.
Within a short walking distance, it was easy to find good restaurants and shopping areas.

I had some great times during my course at LSI. The building was really modern and comfortable. The teacher (Hanna) was awesome with us and the class, too. Without that teacher the experience wouldn't have been the same. I'm really happy with my course at LSI and would like to go again in the future.

My experience in your college has been very educational. This is due not only to the beautiful property that you own and perfect organization of your staff, but also to preparation of your professors, who, even with alternative lessons have been able to teach me something. Also, I always felt up to the task in the classroom, thanks to the kindness of classmates.

The very best is a personal approach. Location, teachers, activities are aspects selected personally for you or your kids.

I really liked the teachers and my classmates. The afternoon walking session with teachers is a great idea, and I had a lot of fun,

I had a wonderful time at LSI. The teacher was so nice, had really good lessons, and could really connect with us students in a perfect way, from age 20 to almost 60 year old students.

I stayed only 1 week at the school, and I would have loved to stay some more weekend.

I stayed at a hotel with my sister, daughter, and husband, and didn't join any activities.

The school, the location, and the teacher were great. If I could repeat it, I would do it immediately.

I spent 1 month at LSI, since I was looking for some English classes combined with TOEFL preparation classes. I really enjoyed the quality of the teachers and their ability to motivate students. I definitively recommend it to anyone interested in learning English!

It was a great experience for me in LSI NYK. I met people from different continents and cultures, especially in terms of developed and undeveloped countries. The teacher's method was wonderful. A great souvenir for me is to be able to open a bank account with my B1/B2 visa with the help of LSI coordinator. I will never forget it. Alex MM DRC/Africa

I was only for two weeks at LSI, but I had a great time. nice teacher and I found friends. !! top.

Everything was fine.

I like school, teachers and lessons in a friendly atmosphere. It's very important that all teachers are native americans but not people who knows english language as a foreign. Variety of courses are also a good option. I recommended LSI for my friend and he will come to US in March.

I really like LSI education and had a very good experience in my life! I recommend this school to my friend and she wants to go in US this spring

Teacher was so really good, she could help us to hone our abilities, the way to teach was so active and dynamic, my main lapses was grammar skill using right tenses .. I could improve this, it'll be better ...
about my houseguest, Ms Defeo was so nice ..but it was far from school, I was here for works too ( I'm restaurant chef) and sometimes,I fiinished later in the night, and have to wait 2 hours just before comming home! my night was so short...
Maybe a better way to adapt with everyone, I know you have so many students, and i'ts not easy to help everyone at the best...
But it was an unexpected experience, I'll do again if I could...

Everything was great. Lessons were very interesting and helpful. Our tutor paid attention to everyone.
School is well situated (close to Metro stations).
I would like to study grammar unit in detail but we didn't have enough time for that.

All was fantastic, except for a small snag, due to the change of my accomodation in NY, just before the beginning of my stay, when I was already in NY. It wasn't simple to find the landlord to get the keys delivered, but, at the end, always resulted for the best.

the location very good becouse my commute was 10 minutes to walk, the zone was nice, in soho.
the teacher i think were nice, and teh experience with my techer was good i learned to much.

My school time is almost gone!:-)
In this month everything has been important for my personal experience.
If I should find something that I didn't like,It has been the trial run(it's just my opinion),it hasn't been really selective.
The teachers are very professionals.
To be honest this has been a good experience,I'm very glad about...I met more friends,I've done more funny things and at the same time very I've been improving my english.

I think, it's a good school, many skills in morning class, conversation, grammar, listening.....and special business english is so great, we have very good teacher
