I called them maybe 20 times to get information about the prices and other things as well. Each time the person said I’ll send an email to you but he made fun of me not sending anything. The last time I called again and he said check the website! What? Why didn’t u say it at the beginning and waste my 5 days!!!!! A school with NO RESPECT for people. If you do not want to give information, why do you put your contact number? If they are not that interested in the registration stage, I am sure that they even will not look at our faces after registration.

I had a great and constructive experience in LSI New York. My 4 weeks were very intense and productive. The methodology for learning English was very useful for me, through classes in mini-groups. I met new and good friends.I thank and greet to my teachers, Ada and Ed, their dedication was very important for my learning, I appreciate them very much.NYC a wonderful city, and to run marathon 2014 was an amazing experience.From Chile,Alvaro

I decided to come back to LSI after my first experience here. As an international student learning English prepare for my master studies, I feel very fortunate when finding LSI. First, the teachers are excellent! My first teacher was Christopher. She had a unique way to make 4-hour classes become very interesting and enjoyable. Lucy, my second teacher, had special way to teach grammar. Once she went through any grammar rule, I thought I would never forget. Second, LSI has a good way to collect great students who come from many countries but are very friendly and kind to each other. Maybe we all enjoyed the classes so all of awkward moment on the first day passed by quickly. I had experienced with some English schools in NYC, I think LSI is one of some schools that I can trust. LSI’s director, Kerry, and her staff are very enthusiastic and professional. They helped me complete the registration process and obtain my F1 visa so quick that I was surprised and happy. They made all worries of a student who travel alone to study in the US go away. Thanks Kerry, Victoria, Andrew and all of my teachers in LSI New York.

I liked the experience at LSI. I gained so many good friends as Im learning English. The activities were nice and I think this is the most important thing that makes LSI different than the other language schools. I also enjoyed my time there because all the staff and teachers were very understanding, friendly, and helpful. I would like to come back for next time if I have time. Thank you for everything youve done so far.

I only attend an afternoon class 2 hours daily for 4 weeks at LSI. So I cannot say anything about the morning class.My course is called Business English and contains a good mix of different topics. Just do not expect too much Business... its not like in an University with deep insights into vocabulary of Management, Economics and Finance - not everybody of the group has a strong interest or background in these fields... but ones learns new helpful expressions and improves the general English, for sure!To sum up this seems to be one of the good language Schools in New York. Classrooms are big, comfortable and good aerated. The class-size is small. my lecturer Michael was great!I have also seen some other language schools which basically more work as Immigration Centers. If you want to improve and practice your English seriously, I recommend LSI !!!

I have spent time working at LSI NY as an activity leader, which puts me in frequent contact with all of the students. I can see how they learn as they progress through LSI and it really helps. Of course, not everyone starts on the same ground but the students who are not as proficient in English makes significant strides in just a short amount of time. LSI is undoubtedly one of the best options for someone looking to improve their English speaking and writing skills.

Learning English in this school was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Teachers make everything to make lessons as attractive as it is possible, so that you dont ever feel yourself exhausted. By the end of my course I achieved both a rapid improvement in my English and a lot of new friends from around the world too. Totally recommended to everyone looking for a good English school in New York.

Traveling alone for the first time is something very scaring, being it in a completely strange country is quite more difficult. When I arrived at LSI for the first time I was very scared, but after the first class I started gaining confidence in myself. It was the best opportunity to know great teachers, a very nice staff, and amazing classmates with whom Ive shared many incredible moments of fun and learning. I loved this unique experience. Thanks.

LSI was more than an English school to me. I got to meet extraordinary people from all around the world which gave me new perspectives. I also got to improve my language. The teachers and the staff at LSI were more than helpful and always ready to take the extra mile to make sure your specific needs are met. I highly recommend this school.

LSI New York allowed me to develop my listening, writting and talking skills, by being an institute where students are not pressured into doing stuff while also maintainning a friendly environment. This results in confident students, who often end up as friends with many of their peers and the teacher.Michael Lopes & Kevin Hernandez were the best teachers.

I’ve spent the first hours of New Year´s morning reflecting on the last twelve months, and one of my personal highlights was definitely my trip to New York City. Looking back on 6 ½ exciting weeks. I was keen to improve my English and took part in an intensive course at Language Studies International (LSI) New York in TriBeCa. I felt comfortable there from day one. The staff was welcoming, supportive and professional. The arrival of the new students and the grading test was well-organized. The second day my advanced course started, and I became part of a class full of wonderful people from all over the world. I appreciated the opportunity to learn about their different cultures. Travelling alone, it was great that I could meet my classmates for dinner, drinks, shopping, art exhibitions, open-air cinema, a Broadway musical or just inspiring chats. I made new friends and we are still in contact. Michael, our class teacher, motivated us with his lively and dynamic teaching approach. He made learning fun and inspiring. We talked about interesting and current topics, reviewed grammar and gave presentations. Michael created a fun and easy-going atmosphere and encouraged everyone to participate, but also expected a certain level of motivation and cooperation. Furthermore, I had private lessons with Lucy to work on my conversation skills and business communication. She is a cordial and empathic teacher, who corrected my mistakes in a very supportive way. The one-on-one lessons with her were fun and very effective. She is also the Assistant Director of LSI New York and will help you if you have questions or worries. For me LSI New York was a great choice. I definitely brushed up my English and can highly recommend this school to you.Happy New Year!

LSI is one of the best language school in New York City. Offering extensive programs suitable to help the students in learning English in a very effective way. Students coming from all different part of the globe not only learn about the English language but also gain so much experience in sharing cultures from others.

Why LSI? What makes it different from other language schools? As a student of LSI I want to touch on some of my impressions about this school with English learners who are seeking a dynamic and quality education. Among the many advantages of LSI I want to discuss three of them which I think have a significant role in learning a foreign language. They are the quality academic staff, the friendly school environment and the opportunity of practicing English in different settings.First, LSI has professional teachers. They know very well all the subtleties of teaching so theyare proficient in diagnosing and handling every kind of obstacle.Second, LSI is a school with a friendly environment. You can feel this aura of the school in both: during the lessons and out of class. In LSI you are more like a member of the family rather than a student.Third, LSI has a great opportunity of language application in different settings. Field trips and social activity programs add totally different color to the teaching process. This is because, those activities put you into living the English process. Since New York is the most lively city of the US you can benefit a lot from social activity programs.Furthermore, LSI is a wonderful school for achieving your goals. It does not matter if they are academic or self-development goals. From my own experience, after three months of education in LSI I took the Toefl exam. I scored 97. And it is only one piece of evidence out of hundreds for the quality education of LSI. I thank to my teachers Jamie Sims and Michael Lopez for their restless endeavor.

LSI New York is a place that you want to go if youre looking for a combination of: Learning English from natives teachers + Meeting people around the world + Traveling in the Big Apple, probably the greatest amazing breathtaking city in the world. I maen, think about that: You wake up at 8am, go to school and improve your English from 9am to 1am / 4pm, then you go out with your new friends to see the Empire State building, take some unbelievable pictures from the 86th/102nd floor, and finish your day with a nice musical on Broadway... during the weekend you can walking around Central Park or fifth avenue, or just waiting for the night to enjoy in a bar or in a dance club - if that isnt heaven - so what is heaven???

I studied at LSI New York in Spring 2013 and it probably was one of the greatest times of my life. I swear, Im not exaggerating. I had always dreamed to come to New York but when the dream started to come true, I was also worried about how I would manage on my own and how I would fit in in a structure I knew nothing about filled with people of very diverse cultural backgrounds. But LSIs staff and students made my worries disappear in an instant. At the end of my first week there, I already felt at home. Victoria was so sweet, nice and welcoming when I got there.Then I just had the most delightful time with Lucy, a wonderful, caring and very competent teacher who provided me with the perfect Cambridge Preparation training to ace my First Certificate of English exam. What was awesome about her class is how she made everyone feel at ease in the classroom. In a general way, LSI offers a very safe and comfortable environment I think. Its perfectly located, its premises are very nice and modern, everyone treats you with respect... But it was really in Lucys classroom that I felt even better. She had the gift to make the dullest grammar lessons interesting, she was great at pushing us to constanly challenge ourselves in our writing. She was of outstanding support and I admired her patience.I also loved all my classmates with whom I believe I bonded pretty quickly. I learnt a lot from them and they helped me overcome my shyness. I even have to say that today I deeply miss studying with them, chatting with them and Lucy. They were all so kind and friendly and motivated to learn English. I surely never had felt this happy being in a classroom before.I also was very fond of Los and Christophers classes that I took after my Cambridge Preparation course with Lucy was over. Lo, as Christopher, were both one of a kind. Lo was probably the funniest teacher Ive ever had, I liked how energetic, enthusiastic and quirky she was. She made me feel more confident about my English speaking skills. As for Christopher, she was a fascinating character, I was completely hooked by her stories and all the topics she brought up in class. She stimulated fantastically our capacities to think and exchange in English about news issues. She gave me the motivation to keep reading English as much as possible after I left New York.In short, my experience at LSI was more than positive. It surpassed all my expectations, made my realize a lot of things about myself and and improved my English writing and speaking dramatically I think... or at least, made me feel better about them. Thanks to LSI New York, my trip to the Big Apple became even more unforgettable than it could have been. Dont hesitate, sign up as soon as you can!

I went there for about a month and a half during my stay in New York.I have a lot of classes for different language levels, and it was very helpful to be able to consult and reselect the class each time.I took various classes, but Ian Zuckermans class was especially wonderful. We take classes because we cant speak English fluently, so there are many things we dont understand or give opinions during class. Meanwhile, Mr. Ian uses simple words that even people with low English proficiency can understand, and sometimes he / she advances the lesson so that he / she can understand while showing images. It was a very professional class because it was excellent in creating an atmosphere in the class so that people with low English proficiency would not feel inferior.There are few Japanese students and they come from various countries, so it was one of the pleasures to go out and communicate with everyone after school.

I am very happy to have been a student at LSI, it is a very warm environment, everyone welcomes you very well, from the principal Jeniffer to the teachers! I started from the first level with Ian, who by the way is an incredible teacher, then with Patricia, who is also a very dedicated teacher, until I reached the third level! Thank you all very much, I left with all the desire to return!

I took a course together with my husband for 3 weeks, in addition to feeling super welcomed, we advanced considerably in our knowledge of the English language, the classes are dynamic, the teachers are rigorous and friendly. I believe that the kindness of the director of the institute Jennifer Rubin was definitive to feel comfortable, calm and safe to study in this institute. It was a great experience, thanks to the entire LSI team.

Despite our previous fluency in English, it is a challenging language and this refreshing course was a delightful experience in the capital of the world!The location of LSI is excellent, and so is the neighborhood!

I only took a private lesson for a short time, but it was very meaningful. The teacher carefully prepared what I was looking for in advance and taught me not only English but also the wisdom to live in the United States. I recommend it.I attended at only short-term individual classes but they were still quite useful for me.I learned a lot, not only English but also what I need to know for the future life in NYC.I appreciate all the kind support from the staff and highly recommend you choose this school if you are still wondering which school you should select.

Review №51

As soon as I arrived in NY, “Language schools in NY are only for students whose purpose is to be in NY. The students are also serious and the school is good at it, so it ’s not very useful,” says another language school. The Japanese who attended told me.The biggest attraction of LSI is that all serious students are so sensible that no one can be a partner. However, there is no difference (except for attendance check), and each teacher is his own character (not uniform) and provides exciting, fun, sometimes strict, high-quality classes. . There are plenty of extracurricular activities such as participation in NY events and watching sports. Recently, a Japanese from another school has been envyed, You are going to a good school. Because the Japanese rate is low, it is recommended for serious people. It is a school where you can meet people you can respect (teachers & alumni).

Great school, I recommend it !! Ive been studying there for 2 weeks and Ive met great people. Teachers are very nice and students come from all over the world. We were often working in small groups, so we could exchange with other students and share what we know.I absolutely recommend this school !!Excellent school !! Stay 2 weeks at the top, beautiful meetings, teachers are listening and close to students. Students of all nationalities.As far as classes are concerned, we work a lot in small groups, we learn new vocabulary ...Only downside: The proposed activities that did not make me want to, but as you can visit the city by itself, it was not a problem.
