Intensive English
One-to-One Executive English for Corporate Clients
These types of courses are designed for the specific needs of managers and professionals. We can offer a variety of tailored courses with options on individual goals, length and intensity of training. Young professionals seeking higher education at US Universities can prepare with us for their TOEFL exams and preparation for MBA training.
Combination Course
This course is a combination of group classes and one-to-one training.
Commonly the client takes 4 private and 2 group classes per day. While we focus on the individual needs and requirements during the one-to-one sessions, the group classes offer the opportunity to meet other international students and focusing on conversation, listening comprehension and small talk.
Presentation Skills Training
Finding the right words in everyday life can be difficult enough, but in business it can make or break a deal.
This one-week course is designed to help achieve the fluency and confidence that is needed to convincingly present the product or company as well as oneself in a professional manner.
Telephoning/Conversation
One of the most dreaded situations in an office environment is “picking up the telephone to an English speaker on the other end – words simply seem to fail you”. Yet, more and more businesses deal with international partners and English is the ONE common language. Strong telephone skills are absolutely necessary. We will focus on those special skills during a general business course as a two day special assignment.
Cross Cultural Training
Different strokes for different folks – What sounds so innocuous and simple can under certain circumstances lead to very awkward situations. What was meant as a polite gesture might be a total insult to another person. This is not only embarrassing but can be very harmful to a business relationship. This course is designed to inform more about different cultures, their etiquettes and the dos and don’ts when in a foreign environment.
Knowing about these differences not only gives the confidence to get about more easily but can make all the difference for business success.
Intensive Pronunciation
For many international students one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the command of pronunciation as their native phonetic is entirely different from English. Therefore this one week course is exclusively designed to help mastering the sometimes rather difficult English pronunciation.

English for children ages 9 to 11
Children of this age learn a language quickly. Under the guidance of an experienced teacher, your child will soon be using English words learned by studying and playing with other children. Numbers, colors, foods, animals, and clock time are some of the things that your child will be able to identify and use in English. There will be enjoyable school trips outside of the classroom to places such as the park, the zoo, and the museum.

Ana Betancourt Colombia
studied General EnglishUnprofessional
The teachers in the school are pretty friendly. However, the school made a lot of mistakes with me. They changed me to another school with a poor educational quality. Following, they denied to give me a refund. When we finally arrange something with the classes, they sent me again to the poor quality school. They were trying to get rid of me, instead of having accountability with me as an international student.

Giorgia Bravin Italy
studied General EnglishAn amazing experience!
I really appreciated this month here in BSML and in Boston!
BSML is a very good school where I had the possibility to learn much more English than in four years of high school in Italy. Boston is a beautiful city in which you could spend your summer and improve your English, people are very polite and helpful.
The BSML staff is helpful too and everyone here tried to make me feel comfortable, the teachers are good and some of them are very funny, I studied with pleasure here.
I have attended only the morning lessons and in the afternoon I had the possibility to see the city. Despite the fact that I sometimes had to wait until 3 p.m. the end of the afternoon lessons for going with the school leader to the activities, I enjoied so much.
Here I met a lot of new international friends, who followed me in the Boston discovery. I hope that these friendships will continue!
