How to choose a language school in New York
- Define your goal first, such as conversation, writing, work, or a specific exam, and ask how the school's curriculum and teachers will help you reach it.
- Request a placement test or trial class so you are in the right level, and ask about class size, since smaller groups usually mean more speaking time.
- Ask about teachers' qualifications, whether they are native or fluent speakers, and experience teaching adult learners or children, depending on who the student is.
- Check schedules, attendance policies, refund terms, and any extra fees for materials. Be cautious of promises of fluency in unrealistic timeframes.
