One new topic every week. He sends us some notes from the last class in order to review them and we prepare our classes in advance to make the most of them. I certainly recommend MLS.

"I think it is one of the best places to learn English in the U.S. I am absolutely sure, that James (my teacher) would correct and improve almost any of my writing (this one included). It is refreshing to see a very high level of English which I could finally try to master on a native level. In addition to that, MLS offers a great deal of flexibility – you could attend courses the day you like (however the program will be slightly different). I personally attend Monday grammar and Friday writing classes. To sum up, I could highly recommend MLS for the superb quality and flexibility. Seriously, I was learning English all my life and only recently I started to do significant progress." -Y.K. (Russia)

"MLS is a great English school. My teacher is a great English teacher. I am attending two courses and I am really satisfied with my English skill improvements. I will be participating to his classes till reaching my English language goals, of course.

Broad Institute Community Members:

With my teacher, an experienced teacher who deeply understands the weak points of international students, you will be able to not only improve your English skills, but also enrich your vocabulary with elaborate class materials.

Tufts University Community Members:

"After a long time searching for an English academy in Boston, somebody recommended me MLS.

"If you are looking for a place to study English in Cambridge area, this is the place! Our teacher was the most reliable teacher ever whom I met in Boston. I should have joined the class earlier. He corrected our grammatical mistakes, which was very helpful (and often other teachers [in different schools] don't do this). Also, we could learn idioms that we usually don't learn in our own countries. The homework he gave us was also very useful to get used to the grammar what we learned in the class." -E.T. (Japan)

Au Pairs:

"MLS is the best English School in the Boston area by far! I have paid English courses in other schools before and seem I just wasted my money on them. This is not the case with MLS. These courses really worth it! James is an excellent teacher, his experience not only teaching ESL but knowing a lot about different cultures gives him extra points. Learning English with James is so personalized, so you can work on your weaknesses and truly improve them. I took the IELTS test three weeks ago and I would hardly have succeeded without James´s help, advice and support by the courses and material I needed to prepare myself before the test. Happily I can say I got the results I was looking for (C1 level - CEFR). I can´t wait to resume more courses at MLS! I definitely recommend this school to learn English for real life." -L.M. (Mexico)

That was a great opportunity for me to make new friends and study English." -M.S. (Japan)

"Entering MLS located in Davis, I always find a cozy classroom where I can explore the world of English language. MLS is an English school that I have been looking for a long time.

Immigrant Community: 

"The best English classes for advanced learners in Boston I have discovered so far. The classes cover a huge variety of topics and can help anyone to improve her English skills. I attend every couple of years and never get bored, always learn something new."

-A.A. (Ukraine)

"MLS is an excellent English school which offers courses for fair prices. All the textbooks and didactic material they use during the classes have interesting content. The teachers are very qualified, helpful and engaged to student's development. Beyond the classes, MLS usually promotes Meetups outside the school related to tourism, culinary and the American culture. These meetings are great opportunities to practice English, learn new vocabulary and know new people. Studying at MLS I have improved a lot my English skills, I also have made good friends there :)." -A.B. (Brazil)

"MLS offers engaging, practical and diverse classes. Great location, easy access and good prices, too. You get to meet people from all around the world and there are activities that help you to socialize, practice English and explore new cultures. I totally recommend it!"

-G.D. (Brazil)

"I moved to Boston five years ago and later started attending grammar, speaking and writing classes at MLS. Studying with PhD students and researchers of prestigious colleges and business professionals is one the most valuable achievements for me.

There is a huge opportunity for my English skills. 

My teacher is phenomenal and  a wonderful person. He is profound, fluent in Arabic and Spanish and almost has basic grammar knowledge in Turkish,Japanese, Korean and Chinese. This is an asset to understand our mistakes,  to find the root cause and correct errors.

 

I am more confident in writing as a business professional after MLS lessons. I noticed that I used to use a huge amount of words or phrases incorrectly before taking classes  there. Learning the real American English from an experienced teacher definitely motivates the student. His “seven-sentence writing” challenge moved my writing routines to a higher level. My American customers appreciate my word/idiom usage and even my jokes.

 

His lessons are extra fun and stress relief for me. He creates an environment where learning is joyful. I always look forward to meeting my teacher and classmates each week. He teaches significant phrases, daily speaking routines, jokes, slang, idioms, favorite movies and TV series for an easier involvement in American social life. I am grateful to him for providing concrete and actionable guidance with a compassionate approach to learning for over the two years.

 

Classes are quite affordable compared to other language schools in the Boston area. However, its location is the best advantage; commuting to Davis Square is easy by T and bus, or you can find several free parking lots for your car as well. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants to spend time. Highly recommend MLS!" -O.C. (Turkey)

"I am studying currently in MLS and it is amazing because the teacher and the school are excellent. I am having the opportunity to improve a lot my English and meet great people. So if you you want to study English with flexible schedule and good price do not hesitate...MLS is your academy!!!" -A.C. (Spain)

"MLS is the great place to learn English. My teacher is one of best teachers I have ever met. He is very intelligent, his knowledge is amazing. He really helps to make you understand by using images, video clips, songs, films. The classes are always fun. He also organizes some events which is helpful to communicate with other students and visit interesting places in Boston. I highly recommend classes in MLS." - N.G. (Turkey)

"Are you looking for an 'active learning' English school? MLS is the "Go-To" school for you. My teacher teaches English from multiple dimensions including field trips and he will never bore you, in fact, class time flies. Great students complement the class even further."

-A.G. (Japan)

"Very good alternative to learn or to improve English skills. It offers a very comprehensive program and we can improve our English conversation. I recommend this school for different reasons. The location is a bonus. The school’s owner is a very competent and dedicated instructor." -M.H. (Brazil)

"I started to take English classes there, especially to improve my writing and speaking skills. I noticed a considerable improvement after the first 6 months, not only in writing and speaking but also in my grammar and punctuation skills. Course content make the class more interesting; as an extra, we learn slang language other than formal speaking. That is a bonus as I am a permanent resident here in the U.S., where I do not always speak formally with my friends and colleagues. There are many international students, scientists, and researchers from all over the world at MLS, that enhances the quality of classes. My teacher is an absolute linguist; he can tell your English mistakes by comparing to your native language. Of course, having many international students over the years has improved his ability/expertise. MLS is located in a very convenient place, in the heart of Davis Square, where you can easily commute; have fun, and socialize at cafes in the area before or after the class. Classes are very affordable compared to other schools in the Boston area."

-E.K. (Turkey)

"Before MLS I searched a lot of international English school in MA.T hey were extravagant.It's not worth the money we give. MLS is the most reasonable English school here. Also the teachers really know how to teach people English and also American cultures."

"In my opinion, the classes are one of the most effective in Boston area. I have been taking classes almost 1 year and now I see rather good results. My teachers are very skilled and they have fascinating program. So I highly recommend MLS." -A.K. (Russia)

"A great school with great teachers who really care about your learning, correcting you and answering all your questions. A plus is that we not only learn ESL but also learn about different cultures by studying with students from around the world." -M.L. (Brazil)

"I was looking for a grammar course for a while now, and college administrators were turning me down because I wasn't considered their typical ESL student. One would say that I looked and sounded like a "native" speaker. I was frustrated with college admins, but I know that the pace they were going was not suitable for me so I attended an MLS grammar class. It was the best decision I've made in 2017. The classes were a little slow for me since I am a "native", but it is perfect for students who've been in the states for a while and English was not their first language. For the record, English is not my first language, it's my third. Don't let the pace fool you, by attending the classes, you will learn some grammar nuances that were not taught in public schools. I didn't think that the classes were helping, but boy, was I wrong. My boss was the first person to notice the changed within my written communication. By using the grammar rules that I've learned in class, I was clear in my communication with my boss and my colleagues. This helped push my career forward. If you believe that you need some improvement in your grammar, I highly recommend that you take his class."

"MLS is a perfect choice for learning English or developing your English level. I took classes for more than 4 months and it was very helpful. My classmates were at the same level with me and that provided a better progress. My instructor is a great and an intellectual teacher, and also very helpful for guiding about city, culture or social life. Furthermore, MLS always keeps in touch with its existing and former students and organizes social activities which are open public. These social activities are perfect for English language learners. I had a significant experience in MLS and it is highly recommended." -A.M. (Turkey)

"This is the great school that offers a great variety of classes including advanced evening and weekend courses. I wish more people know about this place." -A.P. (Russia)

"Great school. My teacher is one of the best English teachers I ever had. Even with only one class per week, I can see the improvements. Reasonable price is a good bonus." -N.P. (Russia)

"I have been in different schools in the past 6 years and what I can say about MLS is that they have the best method to learn English that I have taken before. I love his classes because we learn about different topics and also I enjoy his activities. I highly recommend MLS as a school and James is a great teacher. You won’t regret it." -D.R. (Colombia)

"I was looking for a place not just for improving English skills (Reading, Speaking, Writing and Vocabulary) and mostly for better understanding English. MLS works exactly as I expected and I definitely want to recommend this place." -B.S. (Ukraine)

"Flexible hours, good price and great teacher. If you want to improve your speech and listening, vocabulary, or writing and reading, you just have to choose the right class for you. You can also do the CORE courses, which covers all these skills. And there's more: you can also learn new vocabularies in all of these courses." -A.T. (Brazil)

"Excellent teacher and great teaching methods! I couldn’t have chosen a better school to learn the English language. Since I’ve been going to MLS, my English is surprisingly improving. Although it’s harder for me to learn because I’m not too young." -A.T. (Italy)

"James is a really professional English teacher. He has his own teaching system and database to make new language learning more efficient and effective. Besides that, his teaching style is more interactive and also very fun and on the top of it, he has a very interesting and funny personality as well to make this learning process very fun and comfortable." -K.T.

Don't even waste your time on trying different language learning programs." -Y.Z. (Taiwan)

"The courses at MLS are integrated skills learning. We can learn all english skills in any course. For example, in vocabulary course, not only new interested words we have learnt their meaning but also we know how to use them effectively in real life situation by making sentences, discuss in pair or group and share to the class, then the teacher will correct any mistakes. All study materials are well selected, including the activities on meet up group and daily english excercise in Facebook. My teacher's teaching style is unique. He is professional, knowledgeable, very supportive and active communicator. I have enrolled in 3 courses since the 2nd month I have been in Boston. I wish I could have studied here since the first day I came. Highly recommended to everyone." -M.L. (Thailand)
