English Classes in New York

Hills Learning, New York:
Hills Learning is a language school based in New York City offering group English classes for adults and private English lessons for all ages and skill levels. Our group courses are held at the Chanin Building which is part of Grand Central station (380 Lexington Avenue). Our private English tutors cover all of NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and even Staten Island. Some spots of New Jersey and Connecticut can also be covered. Our aim is to provide English instruction that is both affordable, effective and fun. We have a variety of teachers and courses to choose to fit your linguistic, personal and professional goals.

Our group classes follow our SWIRL curriculum, in that every class develops at least three out of the five language skills (speaking, writing, intonation, reading, and listening). We believe that keeping our group classes small is the key to developing your English conversation skills.

We offer two group English classes:

- Practical English
This course is designed to teach practical and useful English, both for everyday life, and for the workplace.

By the end of this course students should be able to introduce themselves and be able to speak about various topics. They should feel more comfortable navigating difficult scenarios in English. Listening and Reading comprehension will also be improved.

- Business English:
Our Business English course focuses on everyday English in the workplace: how to write an email, talk to clients, speak with your manager, and answer the phone. In depth topics include meeting and business etiquette, writing proposals, industry lingo, economics and news comprehension.

Our English private lessons can be designed for all skill levels and for students of all ages. Each English class is customized to balance student strengths and weaknesses, language goals, and personal or professional aspirations. Our SWIRL curriculum focuses on developing at least three of the five language skills per class.

Our main goal for English private lessons is to develop conversational skills, but we also specialize in test prep, business etiquette, writing skills, interview techniques, or just general language acquisition. And of course, we can meet student’s individual goals and requirements.

Our Teachers:
Hills Learning’s speciality is having English teachers with an international background. Each teacher that we hire must have either studied about another language or culture or been immersed in it. If you're looking to learn English from worldly teachers with years of experience and training then look no further than Hills Learning.

For private lessons, each teacher creates and develops his or her own teaching materials based on student needs and goals. All teachers undergo a thorough review and testing process, and also must follow guidelines, curriculums and best practices from Hills Learning when creating teaching materials.
