for Chrystel and Lucie CLAIRIOT it was perfect, with very playful teachers. (basic 2)
for Sylvain CLAIRIOT: disappointed, teacher not playful and fixed only on tests, Sylvain thinks he has made very little progress (intermediate 1)
My teacher was great and the classes efficient. I wish I could've stayed longer to improve my English even more.
The school is very close to downtown, which was very convenient. I liked how close to everything the school was, which also made it more convenient for the activities. Brickell is a very nice district. Hopefully I'll be able to go back next year, maybe try Orlando next time!

It was a nice experience. I had two teachers and both were really good. The activities of the school were varied, interesting, and not too expensive. The location was perfect; we had everything close to the school or the housing, but the price was really too expensive. I met some people there who rented almost the same room for two times less the price given to me! The classes were not so bad, but the internet of the school was terrible. Miami is a beautiful city, but without a car, it is a mess.
It was a very good experience. I am very satisfied with the school. The teachers are very friendly and the classes very interesting. There are students from different countries and this makes for a better experience. The school location is very good and in general I can recommend this school without hesitation.
I liked that our school was situated almost on the top floor, so we had a magnificent view of the city. Teachers were wonderful, very friendly, and supportive
"Excellent place to learn and absorb English with great location."

OHLA is nice place to study English, with perfect location in the city center and nice view. It is really easy to get to the school. Every teacher has personal structure of the lessons. Weekly tests helps to check your personal goals and score in every part you learn. Same time you have a lot of available time to see the city, walk around and even outside. Also school has an option. You can take funny excursions or walk with group of people from school. In any way you will improve your skills in English.
Administration of the school will always happy to see you with any difficulties and will give an option what to do.
My personal experience of staying was with family. It was excellent choice to me. I am happy that I met them.
Despite the short time since I was only there for two weeks, I thought the school was excellent. Teachers and staff are very attentive and competent. Classes are dynamic and interesting. The location is an important detail, it is close to some Metromover stations, bus stops and I managed to walk around the various restaurant bars, which operate at night and some tourist spots like Bayside and Downtown. I was staying at the Extended Stay Hotel which has amenities like wi-fi, shuttle, mini-kitchen in the apartment, breakfast and the reception location close to school, I returned several times to walk to the hotel. OHLA really worth it, but would not recommend any course (neither this nor otherwise) with less than one month's duration.

My personal experience was good, but it could be better, in the way that my teacher was not a native American and I didn't like that! The course was similar to course in Brazil that Ihave already done and I needed to improve my skills in conversation and there I did not have this all of the time, but only in some opportunities! Most of the time it was writing and write! I would like to come back but to improve my conversation and have this opportunity in know places to practice the language.
I liked the location of the school. It is in the center of Miami, near the Metromover station. The classes were very interesting and our teacher Nichol was very nice and professional. I didn't like that we didn't have homework, but it was an excellent experience for me.
It is called the Four Ambassadors because there are 4 towers connected by a common lobby. The residence is located in Tower 4 [far right] while the school is next to it [Tower 3]. The students can enjoy an ocean view not only from their classroom but also from the comfort of their very own studio /apartment.
All the students have to do, is to get out of their room, take the elevator down to the lobby and come up to the school. After class, they can spend the afternoon around the pools, enjoying the sun and the occasional drink at the Blue Parrot Tropical Bar located between the pools.

"If a student books a course at one cener and mid-way through wishes to transfer to a different state, can the student transfer to another ELSA center without incurring any costs?"
If he pays the full tuition in advance and he transfers to another school (not another ELS center,) he would not receive any refund after having completed ½ of his enrolled program. However, if he transfers to another ELS center, his remaining balance would be transferrable to the new ELS center.
The only penalty fee would be if he has ELS housing and doesn’t provide sufficient notice to the center about housing cancellation for future sessions.

The CADIVI is quite complicated. The Venezuelan government do not approve many applications.
We can accept him and process all the papers, however it will be important to mention to him that if Cadivi is not accepted then he will be in obligation to pay the full amount prior his program starting date.
If he enters to the USA 15 days before then he can come to the school and pay us directly (the gross Invoice).
Please inform your student that in order to start his admission process and to issue the I-20 Form we have to receive from him:
1. Copy of the passport
2. Bank letter or statement with a minimum balance of $6000 (it can be in Bolivares)
