I like:
1、Convenient transportation location;

Dislike:
The desk is a bit small,hhh!
I had very good and informative conversation classes twice a week. My intent was to improve my professional language, but I got a professional coach. My teacher pushed me in thinking through my purpose of various kind of presentatoins, to target my messages and also how to present them in a more compelling way. My expectations was on language and wording, but I ended up in getting a full-on management class.
Show details » Read more...The school is very good located! The organization is very clear and the staff take really care of you. The teachers are competent and involved.
Perhaps some of them give too much information at the same time.
I stayed only two weeks and it is difficult to judge. I'm certain this manner of teaching will be perfect for at least two or three month.
I can recommend EC's 30+ course to all adults over 30 who are concerned to apply for a language course because of the presence young teenage students in the class. So, this course is tailored exactly for the needs 30+ people.
The general English course covered all the essential areas of everyday language i.e., talking, listening and writing. On average, there were from 6 to 10 students in the classroom, so the talking exercises were carried out in pairs with your neighbor. We worked with book and workbook delivered by school but sometimes teachers supplied students with additional work materials available in pdf, so students could work on his own mobile phones or tablets. At the school there were approximately 18 classrooms and all were equipped with very modern interactive tools connected to the internet.
All teachers were in term of language very skilled. They were helpful and supportive if the student had any question regarding the language. They were very nice in personal term too.
Even attending language course in New York will not ensure that English will stick to the student itself. To make the most of it I recommend participating and be active as much as possible at the school, do homework, also to take part after-school activities offered by the school (they were available every week, sometimes even for free) and communicate with people around. There is no easier way on hand to improve in English than this.
The teachers are amazing, the school has the best location in New York. I didn't use housing so I don't have comments about that and because of Covid we just had two social activities.
Show details » Read more...I attended school with a slightly anxious feeling for the first time. I do not need worry. The staff is warm. The lesson is set every day in rotation in the morning and the afternoon. Therefore I can enjoy various NY.It is possible for students to enjoy conversation with free coffee in a lobby in break time. I took a lunch with students everyday. The staff recommends us various nice cafe for lunch..There were ten students in the class. The teacher considers that all the members can participate in a conversation. Though I was a 1-week- student, I can learn the text which I purchased online after returning home. It is very useful. I had a very nice time in this school..
Show details » Read more...school with great infrastructure and location and attentive people but I did not adapt to school. I thought I was just one more. Only that. I wasn't ready for class either. everything was in English and I understood little.

Show details » Read more...I liked location in Times Square, clever teachers and facilities . A little less the housing in Brooklyn that is a bit far from the school-
I was there for a week, I suggest at least two weeks.
I liked course 30+ because the adults students help us to learn more
Show details » Read more...The teachers were good. Some of students were used cell phones thaat were disturbing at school.
If you could organize some visited show on Brodway they would get to know each other.
There would be more conwersation between studebts
With kind regards

I loved to get new contacts to people around the world with the cultural exchange. The teachers are very, very good and they attracted the lessons with really good didactic skills. The location is NY downtown, beautiful for me. The housing was very good and my host welcomed me as well.
The only point is the coffee in the break. It was often empty till I had a chance to get one.
Overall it was a good success
