GEOS has made me feel as well as my Colombia’ friends because spite of they are not here or I am not with them I have discovered another kind of environment, an environment like my environment at Colombia, an environment cool, possible, warmth human that worthwhile.

I'm from Saudi Arabia. I like to play guitar in my school and I like to go shopping in L.A. It is very nice when you can shop in big mall and the other mall is not far from the first one. I have many new friends from different countries!

I'm Sae Oikawa. I'm from Shizuoka, part of Japan. I saw many gorgeous buildings. It makes me happy! I enjoy watching DVDs about American drama after school. And I want to study hospitality. There are many great hotels. It's interesting. So I want to visit Las Vegas again and again. I hope to go to the college in the future.

I have been here for almost two months, I am staying with my aunt, and I am comfortable here. But here I have another life, and I noticed that my aunt had a different life while she was living in her native country (Palestine). Here in America there is more safety and comfort. And here everything is different, I mean the process of the life here is different, even the people here think in a different way.

 

I have been to many places here in America like, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Santa Monica, Las Vegas, in addition there are a lot of from things I have done here. For instance, going to the beach (I like the beach very much because in my country the beach is far away from the place where I live), meeting different people from different region, going to amusement parks. Regardless of all this I still love my country more than any place.

I came to California 5 months ago, when I came to California I didn’t know anything about this place but now I’m so happy because I’m living here and the weather is wonderful and the people are friendly and fun.
In Los Angeles California you can see the best places in America.
California has many people from different countries. I have been studying in GEOS 5 months and I’m so happy because of that.
GEOS has the best teachers and some teachers in GEOS speak many languages. The staff is very friendly and helps all students.
I’m so comfortable in California and at GEOS.

Trip to Fire Station

 

I really liked to learn a little more about firemen. They’re really prepared to help and save people, because they studied many years for that and only the best can pass in the tests. They were very nice to explain all the things to us and let we know the place that they work and live.

GEOS English School is like a big family. All the teachers are very friendly and concerned about the well being of the students and offer support to solve problems. In class they agitate the students to participate in the language lessons to strengthen their confidents in their ability to speak and interact with other students. Also they like to interact with the students between the lessons and are always up to shenanigans.

 

The students are from all over the world so they are usually not able to communicate in their native language and have to speak English to communicate with each other. All the students are really friendly and you will make in a short time friends for a lifetime. After the students depart from GEOS they stay in contact over social networks until long after their departure. As a student you usually participate in social events with other students so you will not just improve your English in class but although in your free time.

 

The school offers education between beginners and expert levels, so each student starts at a different level. When you start your stay at GEOS the teachers will first evaluate your reading, hearing, writing and speaking skills. After the first evaluation the student is applied to a class which matches his skill level. The teacher tracks the progress of improvement for each student with a balanced scorecard for all four skills which is presented to the student after each month.

I like GEOS in Torrance for many reasons. I like lessons and teachers. I have gone to the beach with my host family. I have visited at free English classes in the evening. I like GEOS because I like friendly staff and student from other countries.

Country is beautiful, but I hate that everything is so far and the bus are going every 20 minutes. Home stay, my family, is good. I don't have problems. School is nice. Teachers are great and they are helpful for our education. And about our free time, trips ok good. But maybe one time in month could have some bigger trip. I mean Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and San Diego. But I am satisfied. I am enjoying time here. I really do.

This is the first time I have ever said "Wow! I'm proud of myself." My graduation is just ahead, and I am ready to transfer to a university. I now think back to the beginning of my English study at GEOS. I started from beginner class and finished in the advanced class at the end. Through my English studies at GEOS, I learned that the most important thing to do your English is repetition. While I shared my daily event in class every day, I suddenly noticed, "I know a lot of vocabulary." Also my favorite class activity was the presentations. Of course, everyone gets nervous the first time, but I realized it is actually fun. A lot of experience in GEOS gave me confidence. Therefore, I wasn't worried about anything when I started studying at El Camino College. Although I have learned so many things there as well, GEOS is the most special for me. I still keep in contact with my many GEOS friends all over the world. My next challenge is studying at the university. However, I know that if I make the effort to achieve my goal, I will make it. Students!! Enjoy American life and expand your abilities. Don't worry, you are already honorable because you arrived in America.

Recount of the Armed Forces Day Field Trip:
I went with my teacher and my friends to the parking for the Del Amo Mall. We met the police men, Army men, and soldier men. We enjoyed when we talk with him. They were very helping. One from the Army explained how the helicopter works. I could not talk with the policeman because I don't speak English good. My teacher was helping me for talking with the policeman. I take some pictures with him. I was taking pictures with my teacher and my friends. We were coming to our school at 2:30 pm. On Saturday I went a second time to the same place with Airi and Rayid. We took some pictures and after that we went to the movie. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean. Finally, Airi went to her house with her mother. Rayid and me came to our house.

Hello, my friends from around the world!

 

My name is Eva. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand. I'm very happy to be here. California is the land of dreams. Sunny days, beautiful beaches, and nice people. I have really good time here. And I'm even more glad to be a part of GEOS. Here, not only I can practice my English skills with so many talented staff but I also have a chance to meet new friends from all over the world. It's a very unique experience that i don't think I could find from anywhere else in the world!

Studying in Geos has been an absolute joy for me. the teachers are incredibly friendly and experienced ,speaking with students that came from all around the world has a wonderful feeling ,i get to learn about they're Culture and few bits and pieces from they're languages.

 

also the location of Geos is absolutely fantastic; it's close to the Hermosa beach, Redondo beach, the mall, the movie theater basically everything that a student needs.

I have studied English in my own country, but come to Geos academy has been a really different experience because of the various opportunities that I have to improving my English. First of all, here I have had the advantage to be in a completely English environment, because I have native speakers teachers, the family in the homestay and all the people that I know outside Geos, and this also make you improving your English because you get use to thinking in English all the time. On the other hand the TOEFL course that I am taking is great, because it has more emphasis in the skills than in specific grammar topics. For me this is a big advantage, because I want to take the TOEFL and in this test they ask for skills but not for specific grammar. You probably can have a good grammar but if you do not have the proper skills, you will not be able to answer it, and that is why i think this course is great.

My name is Miguel I'm from Bogota-Colombia. I have been studying at GEOS for two months and it has been exceptional time; Not only the classes are enjoyable and classmates too but the location is great too! It is near to beautiful beaches, a lot of restaurants and bars are near GEOS. Even if you do not have money to spend you can steel having fun, you can go to the beach and play volleyball in the fields that are there, or you can simply go on weekends to the different concerts hermosa beach offers. I recommend to come to LA and improve english in GEOS Academy.

It was the dream of my life studying English. After my arrival to Los Angeles, I seen what not inconceivable to the mind in terms of its location and nature.
GEOS is located in Torrance and it's very special because of its proximity to the shopping malls, restaurants, and banks. Also a very safe area Torrance.
Was all my thinking is to learn English. I began with GEOS, and they led me to learn the language, in a period of 3 months! I learned a lot and gave me the ability to talk with others. And the GEOS family helped me so very wonderfully to talk constantly and develop my language. This experiment with GEOS was very great!

Hi,I am Cindy.
January this year I came into the United States and started at GEOS.
I learned English in earnest 20 years ago, but it is the first time after graduation.
Then I came along, wondering what was happening, and it was a lot of worry. But thanks to a good program at GEOS and enthusiastic teachers, to learn English is so fun.
In a very basic question to answer in good faith, the teacher Lisa helped my English.
I was afraid the first time, but now I have confidence.
Learning English with friends from around the world is too precious and pleasant, and GEOS knew it will be fun to study.
Wherever I am I will remember them, they are good memories.
Thank you.
Forever, GEOS

Testimonial from Rayid Saidan Alfataih:
"Some Thouhts of Rayid"
Today, I am talking about a specific subject that I hope it to be useful for all. I am one their own account. I spent few hard days there in Washington to get a file in the Saudi Embassy. It was difficult for me but I completed this procedure and travelled to Los Angeles. When we started landing, I was looking through the window and had been feeling better gradually. I took taxi to my great host family to spend 4 days before the beginning of semester in GEOS Institute. I attended the first day and got my placement test and got Level 1 according to weakness in English language.
Everything is wonderful in GEOS: there are many valuable activities and motivation to learn. Also the location is very good especially it is near from mall, banks, and sea and so on. There are very efficient teachers because they were forcing me to talk and apply presentations until I haven't been shy anymore.
This means it is very beautiful state as long as its population is very king and cooperative people. I like them really.
All mentioned points will force me to change my plan, it was planned to attend Hartford University in Connecticut but I will transfer to anyone in California. Finally, I hope good luck for all scholarship to serve their communities and like to thank American people for their kindness and cooperation.
Regards,
Rayid Saidan Alfataih (Rambo Crocodile)

Welcome to 'California Dream'! GEOS Los Angeles is waiting for you with passion and hospitality. You can meet different people from different cultures and improve your English at the same time.

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.

I think it was a good and really important experience for me because I met a lot of people from different countries. Also I had a chance to speak English with them. I made a lot of new friends and tried to understand them. I am pleased to meet The GEOS Los Angeles Family.

Many experiences surround me at GEOS Los Angeles. I met a lot of good classmates and also very professional teachers who understand the education background and cultures in each country.

I will never forget GEOS Los Angeles. I loved my homestay family, teachers and staff so much. They helped me with everything.

I just love the location. I like the small classes and the GEOS Los Angeles teachers are so friendly.

I like coffee talk because I enjoy talking with my classmates after school.

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! The classes and teachers are very interesting and I hope to speak English very well. I have met friendly teachers and people from all over the world. It's so good! 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.

Hi, My name is Abdullah I am from Saudi Arabia....Studying at GEOS is a life experience, GEOS staff is the best you can ever have, they are very experienced in teaching English, they can spot your weak points and help you fix it in a very professional way, When I first came three months ago my speaking ability was so bad, then in just three months everything was changed...now I gained a lot of confidence in myself and in my language...all that because of the excellent program that GEOS provide along with the elite teachers of English, In addition to that GEOS is the perfect place to make friends from all over the world.also I want to mention the perfect homestay program that GEOS provide..I live with a wonderful family, they are friendly, respectful and provide me with the best place to study and know about the American way of life....So I am very satisfied and thankful of that.

I came to America to study abroad for the first time. When I was in Japan I felt anxious because I couldn't understand America's image. The mountains and the sky look different from the U.S. and Japan, The road always has planted trees and grass. So I was impressed to see the beautiful scenery. And I think American are very friendly and funny. that I want to cherish this encounter. the American University can develop originality because American University has a lot of majors. I think oneself can to study it deeply. The teacher is adapt to the students pace and kindly teach to it students. The lesson content is also a easy to understand. So I'm used to a little spoken English. So I thought I need to study hard at home. My homestay family and teachers, and my emotional support and great experience and many thanks to those friends.

Before we joined our classes, we spoke English without confidence. But, now we can speak English a little. We had a good time at GEOS!!!

It's a wonderful experience to learn English in Los Angeles. The teachers are really nice and help me to express myself properly. I learn so much from other students who come from around the world. It's interesting to share and learn about different cultures. I have some new friends now. Los Angeles is a beautiful city. There are many things to see and I hope to have time to do everything. At GEOS time passed too quickly!

Hi. I am Masa. I have been in Geos for 5 months. Before I came here, I worried about a lot of things whether I can improve my English, get along with my friends or host family and get used to American life... But now I really enjoy studying English and am satisfied with Geos. So I didn't have to worry about anything!!! Actually my English changed a lot. Of course instructors are so nice!! They know how to teach languages. It's different from Japanese teaching style. That's why I confused first time. It's much more practical lesson like speaking and listening. I really like this style and I think good way to study English. Every student is so friendly and they talk to us easily. That's why we can study in good atmosphere. And I hardly never feel home sick, because of these reasons. We learn not only from instructors but also from friends and host families.I love Geos!!!
