Beginner to advanced level

• Intensive English Course:
20 hours of classes per week (Monday - Friday: morning & afternoon) 

Our intensive English programs are our most popular programs and are ideal for foreign students visiting from abroad or those who have more time to devote to their English language education.

Taught at eight levels and three post-advanced levels, this intensive English course improves the key skills of reading, writing speaking and listening, by interacting in English in real-life settings and through new themes each week.

You will focus on integrated skills and work with authentic materials such as podcasts, online videos, and newspaper articles.

• TOEFL Preparation & Pre-TOEFL Preparation:
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam tests the English language proficiency of non-native speakers and is an entry requirement for international students who wish to study at universities or colleges in the United States. A high TOEFL test score can also be a job requirement.

NYLC can help you to achieve a good score on your TOEFL iBT test. Our TOEFL preparation program begins with a developmental skills class and serves as a comprehensive and stimulating review class. While there is a focus on grammar, it promotes the improvement of all English language skills.
