The Language Island has been a big help to me. I have always wanted to improve my Spanish since my…read moregirlfriend is Hispanic and since it is the second most spoken language in the world. I found this school online and I contacted the director to know more about the services they provided. Since the first conversation we had on the phone, he was very friendly and helpful. He never seemed to promise me anything fake to market himself or the school, and I never felt pushed to "close the deal". He asked me a bunch of questions regarding when, where, and the time of the day I wanted to study and he ended up making sure I got all my preferences. On my first day of classes everyone I met at the school was smiling and the staff already knew my name, which made me feel extremely welcome. My teacher was always very knowledgeable and she clearly had lots of experience teaching. The classes felt "easy to follow" and I thought they were productive. Lastly, the school location was convenient and the prices were fair. Overall, I would say I had a great experience as a student at The Language Island!

From the owner: The Language Island began with a simple mission: Provide students with the best language-learning…read moreexperience possible. This mission has guided us as we have expanded from humble beginnings to become the premiere language-tutoring service in the Metro Atlanta area. Language Island instructors are an elite group of highly-educated and experienced teachers and tutors who are truly passionate about their students. Unlike tutoring centers that take a one-size-fits-all approach to language instruction, The Language Island recognizes that every student is unique. Teachers assess each student on a case-by-case basis and develop a curriculum that is custom-tailored to his or her individual needs. We provide a variety of class options designed to accommodate students of all ages and backgrounds. These include small group and one-on-one classes on our campus near Cumberland Mall, as well as private, in-home tutoring all over the city. Our tutors recognize that students have many commitments outside The Language Island. They work with students to develop class schedules that fit around their busy lives.

WARNING TO F-1 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: HIGH UNEXPECTED TRANSFER FEES…read moreRating: (1 / 5 Stars) I strongly advise any F-1 international students considering The English Island to thoroughly review their fine print and policies before enrolling. When I requested to transfer my SEVIS record to another SEVP-certified institution, the school assessed heavy administrative penalties--including a $499 "Expedite Transfer Fee" for giving less than 3 weeks' notice, alongside demands for full term tuition for classes I would not attend. What international students need to know: SEVIS Rules: Under federal regulations (8 CFR 214.2(f)(8)), SEVIS records belong to the federal government. A school/DSO cannot legally refuse or hold back a student's SEVIS record transfer over financial or business fee disputes if the student maintains status and submits an official acceptance letter. Financial Pressure: The administration uses steep notice fees and short deadlines to exert financial pressure on departing students. Know your rights under federal immigration law before enrolling here. If you encounter resistance during a transfer, keep all written documentation and contact the DSO at your new institution or report the issue to SEVP (SEVP@ice.dhs.gov).

Choosing a tutor can be tough. You want what is best for your child, but how do you know if a tutor will be helpful? Once a month, I host a free online session so you can feel confident that my methods will be beneficial. You will see that my interactive methods will keep your child's attention and get powerful strategies into long-term memory. I have been a teacher since 1993, and I have worked with almost every grade level, from pre-k through college. My passion is reading and writing instruction, and I have spent the last fifteen years working on a program to make instruction fun and interactive. Students first learn strategies through movement, song, and rhyme. I then help them learn how to use strategies within fun, high-quality children's books or young-adult fiction. My goal is to help students experience the joy that comes from reading a text with accuracy, fluency and understanding (as well a
