Students in our English Classes in Washington DC come from many different countries each year[/caption]
Our ESL students are young and old. They are students and working professionals. They are long-term and short-term students… In other words, you will fit right in and make friends easily!
Our students find that there are usually a few other students in our school who speak their language, which makes them feel comfortable, but not too many! In most classes you will find that your fellow students don’t speak your language, which helps you learn English faster!
