I really enjoyed everything. The teachers were the best that I´ve had. Location and facilities are good, however I would like you to have a coffee shop or some place where students can find something to eat and drink.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...els was perfect for me because I studied with so much international student during my course. it was great opportunity for speaking. els teachers was so nice to me during my journey at els. they have so much activities for socialising after school.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...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.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...It was pretty good. Activities were kind of fun. I like the way you guys made it like school.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...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.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...I liked the classes there was a lot of interaction between the teachers and the students. The classrooms and the bathroom were always clean. Maybe it would have been better of the classes were inside the campus of the University of St. Thomas.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...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.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...It was far beyond my expectation. Very good. The organization, the infrastructure, the teachers, everything was good.
The discipline asked was a real immersion in the American culture and attitudes.
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.

The school has very nice teachers good place for learning funny lesson with (Samir and Tim) but also bad teachers (Atalla) was very disappointing not sympathetic for a teacher boring lessons.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...The classes were good nothing boring, we learn new things in the activities and games we play in class and they were interesting. The teaches were nice and polite always there to help and it is in a good location near places we can go after class
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...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.
Thank you for teaching me English!!!
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.
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.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...I enjoyed my stay in the ELS Center in Houston. I liked all the classes, particularly Anoosh SSP class. Over all, the teachers were exceptionally nice.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...I liked it a lot. It was way more intense than I first thought, but it was only for the better.
I had a very good month at ELS. It was a good learning environment.
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.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...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.
In general, my trip was exciting and memorable.
What I liked was that the school was very close to the student residence. It was easy to take the bus, and there were nearby shopping centers.

Visa detaljer » Läs mer...I liked it a lot! All teachers are very professional, positive and friendly. Atmosphere was very warm. The school is located in a nice, convenient location. I have no negative experiences.
Visa detaljer » Läs mer...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.
