Best English School in Los Angeles and Orange County! I couldnt believe I studied with ONLY 4 other classmates! Lots of conversation, talking! My reading and grammar is ok so I was looking for a language school where I can improve my speaking and this is the place!

For anyone looking to improve their English, this place is the best option. The teachers are very helpful and friendly, and I was able to learn and improve my English speaking a lot more because the classes were so small and intimate, unlike other language schools Ive been to. There were only 3 other students in the class with me, so we all had time to speak, have our questions answered, and have mistakes corrected by the teacher. Also, the tuition was so much lower than other English schools, but Im getting an even better education! My education has improved so much and I am saving so much money for going to AELS. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

Not many students know this school but I attended one quarter and talked a lot in class because there are only 5 students in class! The teacher is super nice and I talked a lot with my classmates too. Unlike other language school with around 10 students, this school has only 5 students in class. I loved it!

Optimus provide a nice environment for student, especially for non-native speaker to learn English. Teachers there are all native speakers, who give me a professional and interesting English lessons every workday. The class ratio is small, the largest ratio is 8:1, there are also 4:1, 2:1 and 1:1 classes. Classes provide small ratios that benefit the students and their ability to practice conversation among peers and native speaking English teachers. My classmates are all from different countries such as Korean and Japanese, and we share our experience together. There is also a e-learning program to encourage you prepare better before coming here and a guarantee program to make sure you will improve your English skill in one year., otherwise the school will give you free three months courses.

Optimus Language School is committed to every student achieving their goals. They keep their classes to a small ratio so that everyone can have a chance to participate. They are very encouraging and always monitor your progress so you always know what you are doing well on and what you need to work on. They care about quality rather than caring about how much money you can bring in. They want you to succeed and even have a guarantee program where you can take the class again for free if you do not pass the program.

Optimus gives me a good experience of learning English. Teachers are patient and professional. They give me huge help. All of the teachers are native speaker, and they improve my English a lot. The most important thing is their class ratio is smaller than others, so the teacher can help every student individually. Now my grammar improves a lot and my spoken English is more fluency. Everyone should come and try their class, its really helpful for people who want to learn English!

Optimus was a great experience for me. My friend recommended me the school since they finished the program there. I dropped out of my previous program and contacted the program director. The price was a bit too much for me but they had a deal going on where they would match the price of my current program. They matched the price I was paying at the time but they had an even better program! I met so many students from around the world (mostly asians) and made so many friends as well. The teachers are very friendly and helpful. They are patient and kind as well. Optimus helped me improve my English significantly and provided a great learning experience for me. I would definitely recommend anybody to look into this school and to try to get in.

Ive studied English at Optimus language school with fantastic teachers for one year. Student ratio is just 4-8 each class. It makes me feel free to ask teachers English and I can concentrate on ESL class. I have many chances to practice English speaking with native English speakers (teachers).Teachers always help students improve their English abilities including listening, speaking, writing and reading. Also, they teach me how American people use English practically.I think my English ability has been improving every day because of Optimus language school. If you are looking for the best language school, visit Optimus today. Its the best way to improve your English skills and enjoy your American life! One more thing, the tuition fee is reasonable!😁

American English Language School offers a great program to learn English. They offer small class sizes so that you get the help you need. They also offer several promotions and guarantees with their program that make it a must. I would highly recommend AELS to anyone learning English as a second language.

I highly recommend this place to non native speakers who are trying to learn English. The teachers truly care about their students and gives the students wonderful feedback when the language isnt used correctly. Ive been to other centers, but I liked this place better. The cost is expensive, but I had contact the director and they were able to match the price from my previous center since there was a transfer discount.

My cousin came to the States back in the beginning of July. I spent time with him looking for different language schools so he could learn English. We looked around everywhere from Diamond Bar to Rowland Heights, hoping to find a good place. Luckily, we came upon this place in Brea. Its really cool that we got to find such a nearby location for my cousin. Its only been a few weeks, but hes IN LOVE with the program. He told me all about it, how theres no more than 8 students in a class with one teacher, and everyone really does seem to care about the program. Im really happy that my cousin is able to participate in such a positive environment a good education system.

When students said incorrect, teachers corrected it immediately to make sure every students can pronounce it correctly.I recommend strongly Optimus Language School for people who want to improve English ability, because this is a nice place to learn English.

I used to go to another language school, the tuition was very cheap, but not a good school. Later I found out about Optimus Language School and I found that it has the tuition match guarantee, so I asked about it. It is much better than my old school. My English has improved very much after going to Optimus. The classes have a small student to teacher ratio so if I have any questions the teacher can answer right away. All the teachers are native speaker so I am sure that I am taught accurate English that is spoken in America.

I have studied at American English Language school for four months. The school has a lot of friendly teachers who care about their students. When I went to my class, I always felt welcomed and relaxed. This situation helped me to feel safe enough to work on my English with my teacher without worrying about feeling embarrassed. I am always happy to go to class at American English Language School.

Optimus Language School (OLS) is a sound place for non-native speakers to learn English. Staffs are nice and friendly. They are well prepared with proficient speaking skills. Optimus provides lessons in weekdays. The classes are specialized to meet different needs from various students. With a relatively small student-staff ratio, every student stands a chance to speak with native speakers and indulge him/herself into the atmosphere, gradually gaining confidence and knowledge in terms of conventional speaking patterns. There is a guarantee program introduced as well to make sure students will learn something from the experience so that everything is worth investing time and effort.

Coming to US, I heard lot of great things from friends about Optimus Language School. There were other language programs in the area, but none of them compared to the quality of Optimus. As I was talking to the school officials about how the other programs were cheaper, he offer me same price and made me feel at home. With the new tuition match guarantee program, Optimus is the perfect place to go to learn English at an unbeatable price!

Review №21

Classes were offered with native speaking teachers. Great location and great environment that students can fully immerse in the American culture. This is the school for serious English learning because classes offered at 8 students or below per teacher. Effortless process for getting I-20 because staffs were knowledgeable and efficient. I would totally trust OLS for learning English and introduce more students to Optimus Language School.

Im glad to see this school getting some recognition. The teachers here certainly seem to put a lot more effort into their classes than the average ESL teachers at a lot of other language schools. Theyve also had the same teachers here for quite a while. They dont keep changing the teachers every quarter. Thats usually a good sign that the teachers care about the work they are doing. By the way, the classes are really small--so small that its almost like having private tutoring. It is definitely a school worth checking out.

I work at Optimus Language School and I referred my Russian cousin to come here and learn. He came here and he loves it because the classroom ratios are small and he can speak directly to the teacher and get answers. When he transferred from his other school he said our school was very very clean. I give this school 5 stars! Awesome!

I am currently studying English in a 2:1 student/teacher ratio class at the Optimus language school. It’s amazing for only two students to have one teacher. I don’t hesitate to satisfy my curiosity. I feel free to ask any question at any time in the middle of the lesson, which I could not imagine in a class with more than 10 students.I prepared for learning English in the U.S. through the Internet. There were countless language school websites like Kaplan on the Internet but, most of them had over at least 10 students in a class. I didn’t think it would be efficient to study English in those settings so, I chose this school. I think I was so lucky that I found the Optimus language school because I feel everyday my English is getting better at its fastest face.Additionally, this school’s website is serving a video to show how to fill out the DS 160 Form needed for the online visa application in multiple languages such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese and so on. It is so detailed, accurate and easy to follow. I was able to write down the form thanks to the video very easily.I strongly recommend the Optimus language school and am sure you will not regret selecting this school as your starting point to improve your English skills.

Optimus Language School is great school to learn English for International and local students! Class sizes are small, 4 ~5 students in one class, so each student has many chances to talk with teacher or classmates. Teachers are very kind and always ready to help students, so dont need to be afraid to ask them. I really recommend Optimus Language School!!

I personally was a student here for a few years. At first I did not know any of the English language at all, but now I have a firm enough grasp of the language that I am successfully attending college pursuing a Creative Writing Major. In my opinion, if you want results this is the best language school to attend.

Optimus Language School is THE BEST Language School! If you are looking for a school where you can continuously practice your speaking, look not further! Their limited class sizes and very knowledgeable instructors provide students with the structure and guidance that guarantees a successful mastery of English. I highly recommend Optimus Language School to all ESL students!

I was looking for language school in Orange County for my cousin. I found the best one, thats the Optimus Language School!!My cousin was very shy, so I worried that he might not speak at all in the class... Good thing is Optimus has small class, so teacher makes him to speak out each time. It helps him a lot!! He is very happy to be there to learn English.

I was having difficulty with listening and speaking before. If you study here for six months before entering college, you will naturally be able to adapt to school life. There were about 4-6 students in class with one native speaker teacher and we were having discussion everyday. I recommend OLS for anyone who has difficulty in listening and speaking and anyone studying abroad.

My friends daughter wanted to study English so my friend in Korea asked me to find a good language school and actually go there and check! I visited optimus language school in September. It is a very small language school compared to other language schools and there are not that many students. The class size was very small, there are only 4 students in class and teachers were very friendly. Most of all, the tuituon was very reasonable! She came in October and is currently taking their class. She loves it! I STRONGLY recommend this school!!!

My sister went to this school to learn English when she came to the U.S. from Korea. At first she could not speak a lick of English. It was so bad that people thought that she had a mental disability. After a few years of attending this school, she is fluent in the language and is now studying to be a dentist at UC San Diego. The teachers here are friendly and always think of the students before anything else, and they always show improvement every day. I highly recommend this school to learn English to anyone who is looking for a Language School.

Optimus Language School is a great place to learn English! Class sizes are very small, around 4 students, so youll have plenty of conversations directly with the teacher. The teachers are all very friendly and they care very much about each students education.

Optimus Language School is a great place to learn English in Brea. Class sizes are kept at four students, at the most, to allow more communication and more personal teaching. The teachers are amazing and have creative ways to keep the classroom constantly speaking for better speaking practice. Anyone that needs to learn English should go to Optimus Language School in Brea!

The biggest advantage about this school is the teacher vs students ratio, always less than 1:8, which is very helpful for practicing speaking English. Though It’s somehow expensive, it depends on what you want from a language school.
