 Hi! I am Sergio and I am from Colombia. Studying in GEOS New York is great. It has been a good experience studying English with people of different countries. GEOS has very good teachers and the classes are interactive and full of variety. You can explain your favorite topics and you can find out other experiences and cultures of classmates. I like GEOS because you can practice English all the time - during breaks and at GEOS activities. ~ Sergio (COLUMBIA)

 

Our Part-Time Intensive English Classes meets Monday to Thursday every week, for a total of 19 lessons(16 hours). Students work with two different teachers (one for the morning class and one for the afternoon class) and the most up-to-date, effective textbooks and materials available.

 

This class is communicative-based with an emphasis on 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 with one of their teachers. This is how we help you monitor your progress. After each three month semester, students receive a report card. After their course, students receive a GEOS certificate.
