NYLC The Best Place To Learn English

NYLC The Best Place To Learn English

In my opinion NYLC is one of the best English schools in NYC.
When I arrive to NY I did not know any English, now I can have fluent conversations. They gave me all tools to learn faster and feel more confident.
If I have to start again, I would choose NYLC

I have been studying here for 6 months and I can tell you NYLC is the best language school in NY, because(I checked other schools too , don't worry):
- Teachers quality
- Teaching methods
- Every week has Activities!(After school is very important)
- Polite friends(they are not show off like other language schools!)
- Student Satisfaction rate
- Accreditations

Before register some school in NY , you should go NYLC and just check the school, talk to staff! They will care about you, they are not thinking they are just school(thinks just money).
