GEOS provides great quality at great prices! Also, I love the diverse environment at GEOS where it’s a great place to meet people from around the world. It was really nice time for me to study at GEOS. All the staff and teachers are very nice. They always made my day when I went to school. I will never forget what I have learned here. I didn’t just learn English but also how to get along with others! Thank you so  much for everything! (Woo Jin from Korea)






Our full-time intensive English courses meet five days per week, for a total of 24 lessons(20 hours)* each week.

Our part-time intensive English courses meet four hours each day for four days every week (Monday through Thursday) for a total of 19 lessons(16 hours)* each week.
1 lesson = 50 minutes

 

Both full-time and part-time students work with two different teachers (one teacher for the morning class and another for the afternoon class) and use the most up-to-date, and effective textbooks and materials available.

The intensive English courses at GEOS are communicative-based, and emphasize speaking and listening skills. There are six different levels of study, ranging from beginner to advanced. A placement test helps us find the best class level for each student. At the end of every four-week session, each student receives a written evaluation and one-on-one counseling with one of his or her teachers. This is how we help monitor the progress of each and every student enrolled at GEOS. After their coursework, students receive a GEOS certificate.
