Learn English: Full-Time Intensive English Program
The Intensive English course requires 24 lessons(20 hours)/week

I was studying English at GEOS for 12 weeks and I could not have reached my goal of learning English without your unending support. Words cannot express my gratitute. If I could pass on any word of advice to the individual who will soon be studying here, it would be to cherish this experience like a sponge and soak it up because an opportunity like this will come only once in a lifetime. I have taken many classes from other schools, but GEOS has been the best. Thanks to all the staff and friends at GEOS English Language Academy! ~ Cihan Dalkilic (Turkey)

Intensive English Course Details:
This English class is communicative-based with an emphasis on English speaking and listening skills. There are six different levels of study, from beginner through advanced. A placement test helps us find the best class level for each student. At the end of each four-week session, each student will receive a written evaluation and have a one-on-one counseling session with one of their teachers. This is how we help you monitor your progress. After each three month semester, students receive a progress report card. After successfully completing your course, you will receive a GEOS language certificate.
Certified English Language Instructors:
Our TESL certified English instructors will guide students towards English language fluency with creative and helpful learning activities. With 14 or less students in the classes, students have plenty of opportunity (including scheduled activities) to practice their English and meet new friends from around the world.
