I have been taking Spanish lessons with Marta, twice a week, for about 7 months and I absolutely love it. Our classes consist of an hour and a half of enjoyable conversation, which is a fantastic way to learn a language. Marta is (and I cant emphasize this enough) so patient but she also encourages you to push yourself further. Shes excellent at adapting to how you learn so that classes are fun and easy.When I came to Marta in July, I could only say basic words/phrases but now, I can understand and speak in Spanish at an intermediate/advanced level and Im almost finished reading my first book in Spanish. I cannot say enough great things about the excellent school!

My son and I attended English classes for 4 weeks. Gene is a very welcoming and helpful teacher. My son loved classes with her. I definitely recommend Merit International School

If you are serious about learning a foreign language look no further than Merit International School of Languages. What a gem! I started taking Italian lessons in January 2020 with a great instructor. The private lessons are fantastic and challenging. Dont delay making this important and valuable investment in yourself. Call Gene or Marta today to get started!

Particularly here in South Florida, but also nationwide, we live in a bilingual world. Those of us with only one language operate at a disadvantage, both personally and professionally. For this reason – and others – I’ve wanted to learn Spanish for quite some time. But I’m well beyond the age where language acquisition comes easily. Moreover, the thought of memorizing vocabulary lists and grammatical rules wasn’t particularly appealing to me, and I had a hard time finding classes that didn’t interfere with my work commitments… until I found Merit International School of Languages. Dr. Garrido worked out a class schedule that worked for me. Classes are small and instruction is personalized. Instead of rote memorization, we have conversations. We talk and we laugh in every single class, and somehow the memorization happens. More and more I’m coming to understand when I listen to spoken Spanish, and I’ve even been able to speak and to be understood. I look forward to my Spanish lessons – they’ve become a bright spot in my week. I’d highly recommend Merit International School of Languages to anyone looking to learn a new language or to improve their language skills.

I have been taking English classes at Merit for a few months and my grammar is much better. I feel better when I talk to people and they understand when I speak. I am very happy because now I am less shy about talking to people at my daughter’s school, the store and other places.

Merit International School of Languages is wonderful! From the moment that I arrive, I feel welcomed and encouraged. Marta and Jean have created a beautiful learning environment at the school. I started just a few months ago and have learned so much of the Spanish language.Marta structures her classes at an individualized pace, spending time in areas that need more attention. We work hard while having a fun experience.I still have a lot more to learn but I know I will be having fluent conversations with my fiancé’s family soon (This is the reason that I started classes)!I highly recommend Merit to language learners of all proficiency levels!

My nephew from Colombia, South America attended Merit International School of Languages recently to take the TOEFL preparation classes. He thoroughly enjoyed the classes. The teachers were not only dedicated to his acquisition of the language but also very helpful in teaching and guiding him through the experience of a new culture. The teachers and staff truly went above and beyond to help him succeed on his TOEFL exam and to enrich his experience. Well worth the investment! I highly recommend Merit International School of Languages!

I went to Merit Language School to improve my english in order to pass a language exam (that I kept on failing) at University of Vienna. I recently received an email saying that I passed the exam. I was over the moon with that news. Thank you so much for teaching me and being so kind, patient and helpful. I had a fantastic time by taking your course and it definitely helped me.

I highly recommend Merit International School of Languages. Even though I studied there only for 3 weeks, I enjoyed it a lot, and I could see progress. Marta and Gene are personable and always welcoming to the students. They have a wide range of life experiences ( thanks to their travelling, being active in business..) but mainly I appreciated their professionalism in teaching and their flexibility.

I have been studying at Merit International School of Languages for about one year. My focus is on conversation and accent reduction, and our classes are informative, interesting, and so helpful! My friends and family have complimented me on how clear my English has become, and I am now also able to discuss a wide range of topics without feeling shy. Merit has very relaxed and friendly conversation classes to help students learn English.

I went to Merit for 4 weeks for my accent/pronunciation . Gene really helped me( she so caring) , I learned a lot. I recommend this school .

I have been taking Spanish lessons with Dr. Marta Garrido for the past three months and it has been a great experience! Within a short period of time my Spanish has gone from non-existent to nearly conversational. Dr. Garrido has a great personality and makes learning a new language fun. I strongly recommend her and Merit International School of Languages.

It is very important for me to pass the TOEFL exam, so I have been going to Merit International School of Languages for a year. Because of my busy schedule and family commitments, I can only attend on Saturday mornings, but I have made excellent progress. I feel that I have learned a lot, and my teacher helps me to understand the material. Merit Int. School of Languages is a great place to prepare for the TOEFL exam.

For years I have tried to learn Spanish... I felt like I had all of the pieces to the puzzle yet they were not connecting- no matter how hard I tried. After 3 months with Dr. Garrido (aka Marta!), I am finally making progress and building the confidence I have always wanted when it comes to speaking Spanish. I know I still have a long way to go but I would highly recommend both Marta and Gene to help anyone with their language needs based on the quality of their level of care, professionalism, and passion for their craft. I do not feel like a student that is forced to memorize things robotically, rather I am enthusiastic to attend my classes, speak naturally, and develop my knowledge of Spanish in the most organic way. Gracias por todo Marta :)

I have been studying at Merit for a few months and it is a fantastic option. Dr. Marta is the best at explaining the subject matter and focusing on the aspects important to my development. I recommend Merit to anyone in need of language classes.

I have been studying Business English at Merit International School of Languages for over a year, and the assistance I have received for grammar, writing and work projects has been immeasurable. I highly recommend this program to companies and individuals who are second-language learners and need support in order to succeed in their businesses.

Gene really helped me with my English and my accent! She is very professional! Highly recommended!

Merit is a great school for learning English as a second language. The Business English program focuses on areas which are most beneficial to the student. I learned a lot which has helped me in my job.

​I studied English at MERIT’s school for eight months. I really liked it. Gene and Marta are great​ a​nd lovely, they have a lot of patience and teach in a way that is easy to understand. I had a lot of difficulties speaking in English before I started to study at MERIT. When I got there my English was poor and I was shy to speak English. Their method helped me to get more confident to listen and speak in English. They helped me to communicate with people in English. My speaking and writing skills improved, and my reading is really better now. I learned a lot of grammar, too. I really enjoyed their special “Conversation Class” on Saturdays with Gene in small groups. Now I feel more comfortable communicating with people in English​.​ The school´s environment is nice. I really recommend MERIT International School of Languages!​

Friend’son ,Tony ,nine years old, studied English at MERIT’s school for three weeks.He really liked it. Gene and her partner are great​ a​nd lovely, they have a lot of patience and teach in a way that is easy to understand.Tony said that he had a very nice holiday in MERIT’s school.

I recommend the school to everyone who wants to learn or improve their English!

I took an Intensive TOEFL Preparation course at Merit International School of Languages, and I got a very good score on the exam. Thanks to the Instructors’ concentrated effort, I was admitted to a University, and I am continuing my academic career in this country.

Very good school. Gives you confidence and helps you. Valuable advice and good addresses as a bonus.I was very happy with my English classes and now feel more confident. Gene is a very good teacher. She also provides good advice and is helpful outside of the classroom.

Excellent school to learn languages. The atmosphere is very professional and friendly at the same time. The classes are private and focus on your goals. In a short time I noticed how I improved my English grammar and pronunciation, which gave me much more confidence when talking to other people. Gene was my teacher and she helped me a lot, not only with the language but also adapting to this new city. She is the best!I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn to speak fluently and especially those who do not have time, since the classes are very flexible and adapt to your schedule.

I highly recommend Merit International School. The lecturers are very competent, targeted and friendly. In addition, they are very helpful, so you can turn to you in any situation.The groups are small. This creates conversations in which one can practice what he has learned in conversations and factual discussions.Thank you for the time and 5 thumbs up!

Excellent atention
