"It was ok."

Melanie Daemon Barbosa, študent z Nemecko

I really liked my class with my teacher Tench. He was very motivated and explained many things very well. I liked the class material also.
What I didn't like was to be treated like a child from time to time. For example: I was finished with my test 30 min before the end of the class. Other people needed 30 min more. School policy said, that I'm not allowed to leave the class or building in that time. So I had to sit there and wait for 25 min instead of going out and getting a coffee or something. I do understand, that some students need this treatment (18-years-old student), but I'm a 38 year old woman who doesn't need to be treated that way. I sacrificed my vacation and paid a lot of money for that.

I also heard from other students that one teacher there is really bad. She falls asleep during the class. But I was lucky with Tench. He was always prepared and I liked his teaching. But you could still improve the teaching.

I was really disappointed by the activity program. It didn't cover the Boston Hot Spots. I didn't like the way it was exceled, either.
The girl who was in charge was something like a "living GPS". She never introduced herself or gave any explanations. Till today I don't know her name. The first activity we had with a different person (Melanie from the office there), that was nice. It was to the Massachusetts State house. The other activities were disappointing. So I made up my own activity plan.

The girl Nessie, I don't know...head of administration or sth, was super polite but rude at the same time sometimes. By her I also felt treated like a child. Katherine, the boss, was really nice and helpful.
My conclusion: I was lucky with the teaching. Also in my afternoon workshop I had a good teacher, Megan. My classmates were nice, but very young. Obviously there were not enough people for a "above 30"-class. The class level was not extremely challenging for me, but I guess there was no higher level course for the lack of people.

I'm not sure, if I recommend this school a friend or family member. Older ones not...Teenagers - yes.

My host family was amazing!!! I was really happy with them!!!

"Oh, it was really wonderful experience for me. FLS Boston is one of the best schools in all of Boston!"

AKMARAL BEKBOSSYNOVA, študent z Afghanistan

Everything was great! I was really glad to meet with so many people from all over the world. The teachers were absolutely kind and open-minded. Overall, the atmosphere was so pleasant. During only one month, I gained great knowledge. I got the feeling that Boston is one of the most brightest cities of the USA. I wish I could come back.

"It was a great experience both personal and in English skills"

Gabriel Covián, študent z Mexiko

Classes and teachers were cool. The location is great because it is downtown and I could move around pretty easy. I think a nice cafeteria would be useful because we can mix up with everybody and make friends. I would have liked more activities and some of them were difficult for me because i did not know how much they will cost or how will I get around. The family I stayed with was nice but I would have liked to be closer to school and with an American family.

"Super"

Camilla Worm, študent z Dánsko

The location of the school is great, but you can live pretty far away (for me 40 min). The housing wasn't the best. I didn't live with Americans, and my "housing mother" didn't live with us, but in another house. They only care about the money. Fortunately I had a really good roommate which made everything better. The classes were really good, I loved the morning class (core class) and the teacher was really good. He made the class fun and interesting. (The best English teacher I have ever had.) The students were really nice and friendly, but often the people from the same country got together and talked their language. The school usually charges more for some activities that would be cheaper if you went without the school. If you are not dissatisfied with the course you are taking it is easy to change which is really good. overall I think it was a great experience and I loved the classes, teachers and I got many good friends.

"Very good experience for evaluating my chances for learning English"

Leticia bicalho Canedo, študent z Brazília

I had excellent teachers. Yan is a great teacher. My colleagues are very nice but they ignore the basic grammar and basic vocabulary. So, the level of the class didn't help me to improve my English....

"Very good"

Elder Lopez, študent z Honduras

I think the level of the teachers is very good, but the school needs improve in the organization of classes, because the school mixes younger students with adults and the younger students don't have the same level as adults.

"Great"

Matteo Salvo, študent z Taliansko

thanks for how much you take care of your clients. the experience is great and the teachers that I have are very good teachers (I think that knowing English and teaching English are two complete different skills: they have both at an high level (Chris and Mike)). My score in the activity is 3 because I have never participate and so I put 3 because is obligatory to fill but is not an attendible answer).
The things that, in my opinion, could be improved are:
1) anyone can attend to the elective class and the level is not homogeneus so someone is penalyzed (or doesn't understand if the level is too high or slows down if the teacher explains basic topics)
2) for me would be useful to know week by week the goals that we are going to achieve and the weekly program in order to proact in the right direction and to be aware of where we are.

visa

Pomoc pri vízach

My nemôžeme žiadať o víza v zastúpení študentov. Avšak škola vám môže dodať všetky podklady, ktoré potrebujete priložiť k vašej žiadosti o víza.

Ak študujete na plný úväzok v USA viac ako 18 hodín do týždňa, dostanete formulár I-20, ktorý treba odovzdať veľvyslanectvu USA spolu s vašou žiadosťou o F-1 študentské víza. I-20 má na sebe SEVIS sledovacie číslo. Študenti, ktorý chcú požiadadť o študentské vízum, musia predtým ako pôjdu kvôli vízovému pohovoru na veľvyslanectvo alebo konzulát USA zaplatiť SEVIS poplatok online.

Váš I-20 vám bude zaslaný bezplatne obyčajnou poštou na vašu domácu adresu. Ak si želáte zaslať vaše dokumenty expresnou poštou, pri registrácii zaplatíte poplatok $85.

Prosím, všimnite si, že zákon Spojených štátov nariaďuje, že I-20 môže byť vydaný iba študentom, ktorí zamýšľajú pokračovať v štúdiách anglického jazyka na plný úväzok. Zákon Spojených štátov nedovoľuje študentom študovať na čiastočný úväzok s F-1 študentskými vízami. Ak študujete menej ako 18 hodín do týždňa musíte vy sami požiadať o návštevnícke víza Visitor Visa (B1/B2).

Zistite viac o tom ako získať US študentské víza »

Lety a letisková doprava

Najbližšie letisko ku školy je Boston Logan Airport ( BOS).

Škola poskytuje služby vyzdvihovania na letisku. Ak si želáte, aby vás vyzdvihli, len nám pošlite podrobnosti o vašom lete a dátum príchodu. Cena jednosmernej dopravy z letiska Boston Logan Airport je $110. Dopravu z letiska si musíte zarezervovať dopredu pri registrácii.

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Boston based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Cestovné poistenie

Poistku si musíte zarezervovať dopredu pri registrácii.

Spýtať sa otázku

"Can the student take this course on a tourist visa or with ESTA?"

Frida Test, študent z USA

Persons with Tourist Visas are allowed to study at the school if their reason for being in the US is tourism and their course is incidental to this. The student should be aware that if he or she chooses to travel on a tourist visa or visa waiver but tells immigration that he or she is coming here to study, the immigration officer at the Port of Entry (airport) may ask for a student visa which the student does not have. In this case, the student may not be allowed entry to the United States.
