Centre Info

On July 6th SEVP announced that they are ending COVID 19 accommodations for F1 students and, starting in the Fall Semester, international students will no longer be able to complete any of the minimum hours or credits online. This regulation does not impact current students who are studying online, but rest assured that EC plans to comply with SEVP regulations when our schools reopen; we will make sure all students maintain their F1 status while staying safe in our schools. We are currently working on a reopening plan for our US centers and look forward to sharing details soon.

Teacher Testimonial

A class is only as good as the students make it, which often takes hard work, dedication, and daring. It takes curiosity and boldness. Many EC New York students realize quickly: learning English is an experience as much cultural as it is linguistic; it is as much about making friends and meeting new people as it is studying grammar. I often see different personalities emerge from this realization; in a sense, students rediscover themselves while lost in traslation. This is a pleasure to witness.

I believe my role as a teacher depends on my ability to simplify so as to motivate; to clarify, so as to help students navigate the challenges of learning a new language as it is told from an American perspective. The Joy in teaching language come from the joy in engaging an international community with this rich-American heritage.

The best part of EC New York is its location, which stands at the center of one of the world's greatest cosmopolitans; it is an exciting as it is riped with stories, waiting to unfold for each one of EC Language's students. As an ESL teacher, having taught for two years, I try to equip students, to the best of my ability, with the language tools needed to share each one of their authentic New York and American experiences in a clear, comprehensible, and authentic manner.
