I am currently studying English in a 2:1 student/teacher ratio class at the Optimus language school. It's amazing for only two students to have one teacher. I don't hesitate to satisfy my curiosity. I feel free to ask any question at any time in the middle of the lesson, which I could not imagine in a class with more than 10 students. I prepared for learning English in the U.S. through the Internet. There were countless language school websites like Kaplan on the Internet but, most of them had over at least 10 students in a class. I didn't think it would be efficient to study English in those settings so, I chose this school. I think I was so lucky that I found the Optimus language school because I feel everyday my English is getting better at its fastest face. Additionally, this school's website is serving a video to show how to fill out the DS 160 Form needed for the online visa application in multiple languages such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese and so on. It is so detailed, accurate and easy to follow. I was able to write down the form thanks to the video very easily. I strongly recommend the Optimus language school and am sure you will not regret selecting this school as your starting point to improve your English skills. read more

This language school is unbelievable!. The teachers here at Optimus really cares about my English progress. The class size is really really small so that I can interact a lot with my teacher! Currently, I only have 3 other students in my class! And the tuition is very cheap if you thinking about taking class with only 3 students! All teachers here are native speakers. No accent at all! They don't have any students who just want to maintain their visa status. All students here really want to improve their English, not like other local language schools where a lot of students just want to maintain their I-20. The tuition is very reasonable considering the class size. (of course, a little more expensive than local language schools where the focus is just to maintain their status, where there are so many students in class.) I strongly recommend this school to everyone who currently go to other language school. You really have to try this school!!! read more

My experience with AELS has been awesome. I was at another language school before and was unhappy. There was so many students in my class so I was shy and did not want to speak in front of so many people. Also, there was not a lot of chances to speak English and ask the teacher questions. So I looked into AELS and was very satisfied. First, the staff is all fantastic. They are caring and very hands on. They love what they do and it shows with all the students. Next, the classes are awesome. I only had 3 other classmates in my class, so it felt like I had a private tutoring class. This let me be able to speak a lot more in class and ask the teacher questions whenever I wanted to. I really enjoyed how personal the class was. This was what helped me improve my English so much more than at other language schools. I wouldn't hesitate to apply here! Thank you AELS for helping me learn English so well! read more

My family hosted an International student from Korea during winter time. The student of lower English ability found Optimus Language School supportive, helpful, friendly and fun. The program offered full immersion English learning. 1. Through classroom teaching. 2. A plus was being able to interact with local students enrolled speaking and practicing English with them. 3. Being hosted by a native English host family learning of American ways. In the few months at OLS his English excelled and the student said he enjoyed the program. Optimus Language School attaining the I-20 form needed for a F-1 visa encourages International students seeking a English language school to consider OLS offering a smaller teacher/student ratio class size than a larger institute. Smaller ratio provides quality teaching through more individualized attention and interaction. read more

I am currently attending Optimus Language School to enhance my English. I have lived here in California for so long, around 30 years, but I feel like I don't use English as well as I would like to. I am surrounded by my own ethnic group most of the time. A lot of my friends don't think it's necessary to continue to improve English after they lived here for so many years. However, it doesn't matter how long you have lived here. It's how fluent you can speak English and how much you have tried to assimilate into American culture. Optimus has been very good for me with its small group ratio. I especially liked their culture week. The teachers are very committed. Sometimes I ask them to revise my business letters or emails and they are really helpful! Don't be afraid to try again...after so many years...to improve your English! read more

I go to Optimus Language School to improve my English skills. I came to America 3 months ago. When I came here, I was not good at listening and speaking in English. So, I was worried about communicating with my teacher, but he tries to speak in plain English. It's good for me that Optimus has classes with small ratios of students to teachers. It gives me many chances to speak in my class. The textbooks are written about English grammar, but my classmates and I had already learned that. So we wanted our teacher to put stress on speaking and listening. We talked to him about that. Then he, did as requested. This school is committed to me. Culture week is a special week this school has. I enjoyed experiencing American culture very much. Optimus Language School is really helpful for improving English! read more

Optimus provide a nice environment for student, especially for non-native speaker to learn English. Teachers there are all native speakers, who give me a professional and interesting English lessons every workday. The class ratio is small, the largest ratio is 8:1, there are also 4:1, 2:1 and 1:1 classes. Classes provide small ratios that benefit the students and their ability to practice conversation among peers and native speaking English teachers. My classmates are all from different countries such as Korean and Japanese, and we share our experience together. There is also a e-learning program to encourage you prepare better before coming here and a guarantee program to make sure you will improve your English skill in one year., otherwise the school will give you free three months courses. read more

As an international student, I can't recommend American English Language School enough! Coming from Mongolia, I was nervous about improving my English, but the school made the transition so smooth. The teachers were incredibly supportive, patient, and great at explaining complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand. The classes were interactive, with a perfect mix of speaking, writing, and cultural lessons that helped me feel more confident in real-life situations. I loved the diverse student community--it was amazing to learn alongside people from all over the world. The staff also went above and beyond, offering help with everything from visa questions to local tips. American English Language School truly made my language-learning journey unforgettable! read more

#1 English Language School in California! I attended this school for 6 months (2 quarters) to go to graduate program in Japan. I improved my speaking and listening a lot! There were only 4 other students in my class. Usually each class has about 5-6 students in class unlike other language schools. Well, that's the reason I chose this school because my reading and grammar were good, but my speaking and listening were not good. Their tuition is very good too. It's only $500/month. Their teachers are wonderful! They really teach well and I loved my teacher! I don't think you can go to a better English language school than this school in terms of tuition, class size, and teacher quality. Try this school and you will see I'm not exaggerating anything I said here. read more

My cousin came to the States back in the beginning of July. I spent time with him looking for different language schools so he could learn English. We looked around everywhere from Diamond Bar to Rowland Heights, hoping to find a good place. Luckily, we came upon this place in Brea. It's really cool that we got to find such a nearby location for my cousin. Location was the only thing we looked for, and that itself was great. It's only been a few weeks, but he really really LOVES the program. He told me all about it, how there's no more than 8 students in a class with one teacher, and everyone really does seem to care about the program. I'm really happy that my cousin is able to participate in such a positive environment a good education system. read more

Optimus Language School (OLS) is a sound place for non-native speakers to learn English. Staffs are nice and friendly. They are well prepared with proficient speaking skills. Optimus provides lessons in weekdays. The classes are specialized to meet different needs from various students. With a relatively small student-staff ratio, every student stands a chance to speak with native speakers and indulge him/herself into the atmosphere, gradually gaining confidence and knowledge in terms of conventional speaking patterns. There is a guarantee program introduced as well to make sure students will learn something from the experience so that everything is worth investing time and effort. read more

I would highly recommend AELS for anyone looking to improve their English. The teachers and staff are very helpful and friendly, and I was able to learn and improve a lot because the classes were so small and intimate, unlike other language schools I've been to. There were only 3 other students in the class with me, so we all had time to speak, have our questions answered, and have mistakes corrected by the teacher. Also, the tuition was so much lower than other English schools, and I was able to receive a $500 discount for transferring from my old school to AELS! My education has improved so much and I am saving so much money for going to AELS. I strongly recommend this school. read more

I came from Germany around May last year. I was looking for a place to learn English around Fullerton and Brea but I didn't find one I liked until I got here. This school provided a great environment for me with non-native students from many different cultures and native speaking teachers who provide their students with engaging and beneficial classes. The class ratios are also small, the biggest being around 8:1 so the teachers can help with problems you might personally have with the language. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here learning and interacting with the students and teachers and I would like to recommend this school to anyone who would like to learn English. read more

Optimus Language School is the best language school to learn English. I tried several language schools before found the OLS. Most of language schools had around 10 to 15 students in one class, so I didn't have chance to have conversations with classmates or teachers. I came to America to learn speaking English, so I decided to transfer to the OLS. I spent around 2 quarters there. I liked this school because they only had 4 to 5 students in one class, so I had lots of chance to talk during class. Also teachers fixed my accent or any mistakes right away. This experience at the OLS gave me lots of confidence in my American life. Thank you Optimus Language School!! read more

I have taken Optimus ESL classes for several months and it was not difficult to notice their professionalism in every espect and their endeavor in the pursuit of perfection. Limiting each class size to four students proves how much they value the quality of learning environment and their curriculum and teaching philosophy. And also extended teaching through online communication was extremely helpful because it made possible for me to ask questions and check teacher's feedback any time I wanted and needed. I strongly recommend Optimus Language School to anyone who wants to experience exceptional improvement of English. read more

I have learned English here for 2 years, and I always feels warm and fulfilled. The teachers give a lot of attention and patience to students. They give students tasks that are both challenging and engaging. They know what they're doing and make learning English so much fun. I am especially thankful to my teacher Becca. She always gives my homework very detailed comments. I can tell how much effort she makes on us. She listens to me without judging, encourages me, when I express with English. It gives me the environment to learn and to improve. I love this place and never regret for a minute in these 2 years. read more

Optimus Language School is the best place to learn English! The teachers are fantastic! I'm currently taking their ESL class from 9:00-1:00 pm and there are only 3 students in my class! I love it! I can talk to my teacher a lot and small group class really helps me a lot. I used to go to another language school near Brea, but this language school is the best! Their I-20 processing time for my transfer was very short too. I strongly recommend this language school to all the students who are taking ESL classes in other language schools. Just try and you will know what I'm talking about!!! read more

Optimus Language School provides such a great opportunity for my aunt to learn English. She knew that to be successful in America, she must adapt to this culture and learn their language. The staffs at Optimus were extremely patient with her and made sure she gets the topic down before discussing something new. They sat down next to her and personally helped her pronounced words. To me, this was something that helped her significantly. Optimus Language School goes beyond their expectations for their students to become knowledgeable and comfortable with the new language. read more
