GEOS Los Angeles helps me for the first steps to conquer my shyness because my English is not that good. My opportunities to grasp words, phrases and speaking came by visiting shops, trying on clothes, buying groceries, having small talks with my host-family and students.

The teachers make the classes entertaining and practical. In GEOS Los Angles the students are from different countries and everyone is nice and eager to connect with each other.

I think this experience is very important. GEOS Los Angeles has helped me so much.

In GEOS Los Angeles, I've been learning English and cultural diversity since I came here. I've learned how different and yet how similar we all are.

For the present I only have good words for GEOS School. Since there is a very good environment, the classmates are very kind and the teachers are very nice and friendly helping me to reach my goal which is to learn English.

My name is Kim and I am 19 years old, from Germany. The reason I picked GEOS as my language school was because I wanted to perfect my English skills in a friendly and nurturing environment. The students here are very fun, dedicated and diverse group, hailing from countries all around the world, including: Japan, Korea, Turkey, Thailand, China, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Italy, France and Germany. Being in Los Angeles, there is always something fun to do or interesting to see close by like Hollywood, Disneyland, beaches and Las Vegas, just to name a few. GEOS has a large network of host families to help set you up with a perfect match. Come to GEOS LA and enjoy the weather, engaging education, and the American lifestyle!

Hi! My name is Chris, I'm from Korea. I am 24 years old. Nice to meet you. I didn't know English before I came to GEOS. I wanted to learn English so I came to GEOS!

At GEOS the teachers are very excellent, kind and funny. They're teaching style is very good and easy to understand. I am learning about grammar, speaking, and American culture. I will continue to study until I master English.

Hi! My name is Rod and I'm from France. I was a student at GEOS for 3 months and I guess it was a smart move to come here and not a waste of time at all. GEOS Torrance is such a small and lovely place where you can choose to learn English in your own pace. The whole staff is composed of friendly and kind people who are always there to help you about any kind of problem related to classes or not. The classes are not too big and that create a comfortable atmosphere, unlike UCLA extension which was my first English school which was great too, GEOS classes offer much time to the student to express themselves not because it's a better school but just the way that they made the classes give much confidence to us, the student, to speak loudly in front of the class. Like I said before UCLA extension was my first English school, they help me to build a strong vocabulary but maybe because the class was little bit too crowded, I couldn't be able to improve my speaking, I think it's important especially for foreigner who are shy and even more for beginner to be in a situation that they can be able to speak without wondering about anything, and that's what GEOS does, put yourself in a comfortable situation to be able to express yourself. So it's a different kind of teaching, both are good in the way they teach. If you want to be in a school with a few number of student (from everywhere, Brazil, Italy, Turkey, Korean, Japanese, French...haha and even more) which looks like more an academy, GEOS is the place for you. Off course the location is just almost perfect, it is Los Angeles... but more than that, to me GEOS looks like more a big family, with is number of student, you can feel yourself at home, and it's important to feel like people are taking care of you, especially when you're missing your family. For me, definitively a good and an unforgettable (people) experience.
Thanks you all and I don't forget to mention my perfect-ROCK-host family who makes me feel myself at home, and took care of me, I'll never forget my first Thanksgiving with them!!!

I like GEOS because our teachers and staff are very friendly and helpful.

GEOS is important to me because in the class I met people from different countries. It encourages me to try to understand different accents and dialects.

I like GEOS because teachers are so friendly and so kind. I think it's important for anybody. If I go to Los Angeles again, I'm going to visit the teachers. Thank you teachers and staff.

LA is a good location to access to the core cities, like SF, San Diego, Santa Monica. Also, driving takes you only 4 hours to get to Las Vegas. As you know, LA is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Why? Because there are lots of things to do. Watching NBA games at STAPLES Center, sight seeing in Hollywood and Universal Studios always makes you excited. In addition, you can make many friends from other countries as I did. Anyway, it will be a good experience for you to learn English and travel with your new friends.

Hi, my name is Yuki. I'm from Tokyo, Japan! Nice to meet you! At first I couldn't speak English but after 2 months I can speak better because the teachers are very helpful. I like GEOS and the teachers. Thank you.

Hello everyone. Right now I'm studying English at GEOS. I can explain about GEOS right now. If you guys came here, you could meet good good good friends and teachers. The teachers are very kind. They'll help you with anything. For example, 2 days ago I got a parking ticket. I had to pay money for penalty. But I didn't know how to pay money for penalty. So a GEOS staff member helped me. Then I got over my problem about the parking ticket. By the way, if you are over 21 years old, you could go to the night club. California has many good night clubs. I think you'll like it. Why am I studying English right now? Because I will go to film school after GEOS. So I need to learn English! There are no Japanese people there so I'm studying English very hard everyday. Anyway, if you a goal of learning English, you'd better come to GEOS. I hope you'll come here soon. See you later.
