"It was exciting and fun"

Simrana Singkh

It was new experience for me. My English has improved a lot during the studying. Classes were always fun and interesting, teachers are kind and friendly. The location is perfect: near to a sky train station and has many convenient facilities nearby. All activities were designed with special attitude to satisfy all students.

"Good but not enough"

Manoel do Vale Sales, student from Brazil

The school is very good but the classes are formed with people with different levels of knowledge, so some people think the classes are too hard and others think they could be a little more difficult. I think this happens because the classes are formed around the year and sometimes there are no appropriate level available for all kind os students that come to the school.
However I, personally, thought the school very friendly and with very good teachers.
Unfortunatelly, I need much more than this short experience to become fluent in english.

"Every day my experience has been excellent"

fredy cabrera, student from Venezuela

Until now, I like my class. I am speaking a little more and learning a new vocabulary. The hours in class are perfect for me, from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm. The teacher has patience with my conversations and helps me in the development of ideas. The location of the school is near to the train station, approximately four blocks, so it's really near. I like the ambience or atmosphere inside of the school. The workers are nice, with excellent attention and positive attitude to help the students.

I believe the institute must have a rooms for private class with the minimum necessary tools.

"Learning English is amazing when you have great teachers, great staff and a beautiful environment!"

Ecio Jose Rivas Gonzalez

My experience at CSLI surpassed all my expectations! I never would have thought that this experience would be so awesome. It is a good and beautiful place to study, the environment is comfortable, the staff and the teachers are kind and professional. I know 6 months is not enough to improve my English 100% and I wish I could stay longer here! But I think in this short time I learned a lot! I just hope you guys continue doing an amazing job! Congratulations CSLI and thank you from the bottom of my heart for having given me these beautiful moments!
