The teachers were all really nice and everybody tried really hard to male us feel comfortable being away from home. I made a lot of new friends. The school planed a lot of activities where we could go which was really nice. The location was perfect, it was not to far away from my home and not right downtown where the traffic gets really bad.

The school's program of activities is good, as few good teachers do not show the results of the final tests, make the decision whether the student should advance or not, even having good grades during the current level, as to the conditions of the school. school are good.

Over all, it was a good experience and a good chance to improve my competences in englisch at this school. My estimation is different. There are teachers they have quite a large engagement and others are for example not really good prepared ore are in the class not really good in teaching.

It was my first experience of studying at ELS. The location was excellent, with parking and near the downtown. I really liked the teachers, especially Mr. Jason (VOC) and Mr. Jim (SSP). I didn`t like the LTC. Unfortunately, I only had three weeks to stay at the ELS because I needed to return to my country. I hope to return in the near future. Thanks.

Yuki Shimamoto,
študent z Japonsko
(Translated by Google Translate)
Sometimes,I was confused when I talked with other students and teachers.But It was very fun. I want to study English in ELS again. If I could go to study the school once,I will be able to speak English better. I liked all of classes. If you consist, I liked speaking class the best. This class is very profitable for me to speak and pronounce English.

"It was very nice."
Marcio de Carvalho Nunes,
študent z Brazília
(Translated by Google Translate)
The classes were very nice. The teaching methods were almost perfect. In Lauren's class (TOEFL class) I really learned how to mãe the test and I did well because of her. The only problem was in Tim's class, because his teaching methods were not that good. Instead of explaining the students doubts, he just kept telling the same things. Also he took the students to a field trip to do a survey in a parking lot and that activity did not improved my English at all, it was just some useless activity to fill up some free time from the class. It was terrible, but it was not ELS's fault.
About the facilities I think it was just perfect. Everything was clean, everything worked perfectly, the administration had this care with the students (answering doubts, solving problems, etc). It was awesome.
The activities were impressive, because I never studied in a school where there were so many activities (going to a baseball game, tips about parks, museum tips) and the small events at the first and last day. Very different from other classes I have had and much better.
I was not in the housing program, because of that I do not have an opinion about it.

"A good time with people from all around the world."
Pedro Rovasio Aguirre,
študent z Argentína
(Translated by Google Translate)
The experienced was really an enriching one, from a social point of view. Even if you're a little bit shy as I am, you will find you will be making friends with people from different countries. As regards the teacher and the classes they were really good, all teachers were kind, respectful, and cool to hang out with. The only drawback is that I think I could have been on higher level, however the things they thought us were things I've already studied. Other than that it was a great experience.

"It was awesome!"
Salome Ortega Valverde
(Translated by Google Translate)
I liked almost all of my teachers. They were prepared for giving interesting classes. I had a good experience knowing other people and other cultures, and also going on incredible trips. The only thing that I would change is the SSP class because I think they need to make you talk more and focus on your pronunciation. Aside from this though, everything was perfect.

"Learning English was a great experience."
Yuliya Lagay,
študent z Kazachstan
(Translated by Google Translate)
It was my first experience in learning English abroad. The teachers were helpful and professional. The classes were well organized. The only negative was that not all books were provided. Unfortunately, during my three weeks, there were not much events and activities at school.
There were students from different countries: Brazil, Venezuela, Japan, Turkey, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Bolivia, Indonesia. We spent time together and learnt more about each other’s countries.
The program was intensive and helped to improve language skills.
I was living at a homestay. Two more students were living with me in that house. At the dinner table, we had a chance to talk in English a lot. Also, there was a Halloween party organized by the homestay. A lot of students from other schools came to that party. It was a wonderful experience to talk to people and get to know them.
The house was a bit far away from school. It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to school. I rode the buses. During my first day at my homestay, the family dropped me off at school then showed me how to use the buses. Also, at the homestay, I was allowed to do laundry.

Josefine Werkner,
študent z Nemecko
(Translated by Google Translate)
Hi all, I had a really small class and each of us could learn very well. The teachers were nice and gave us the chance to find some subjects to talk about. So in the end you had it like an individual lesson. The location of the ELS in Houston is really nice. Next to the school, there is a CVS and a private university names "University of St. Thomas". There you can have your lunch in the cafeteria with little money. The area also has good connections with the bus and it´s just 3 minutes with it to the museum district. The school offers you some activities for your free time and the students are very nice. In the end I can say it was a good decision to choose the ELS and I would do it again.

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 $110.
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).
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 Houston based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

No. We cannot make an exception simply because of the huge demand for those courses.

"Will a student require a student vissa if studying for 17 hours a week?"
Oliver Rizzo,
ELS Language Centers school representative (Student Services Coordinator Housing & Airport Pickup A Centers)
Technically, yes ,the student would need the I-20 for the Semi-Intensive program if she is entering the US with the primary purpose of studying this program.
That is because this program meets the US Government minimum required hours to qualify as an “Academic Program.”

"Is it possible for a student to take the TOEFL exam straight after finishing the preparation course, at your school?"
Oliver Rizzo,
ELS Language Centers school representative (Student Services Coordinator Housing & Airport Pickup A Centers)
All of our ELS Centers are official TOELF Testing locations.
However, the only TOELF program with the fee for the test included is the full 3-session TOEFL program. The student would need to pay and sign-up independently for the TOEFL exam if he is only taking the 2-session program. He would need to do this through the ETS website and ELS does not invoice this.
