    This is the most wonderful language school in LA. Before I study here I was in very low English level. But right now I never afraid to talk with people in English because of CWC!

    End of the module at Santa Monica!

    I'm studying g at Columbia west college for 8 months and I do love this school! When I got here, I couldn't speak fluently, i didn't have a confidence when I speak English, I didn't know anything. Columbia west college teach us not only English. This school teach us culture..how to survive in the U.S... and Columbia west college's staff and teachers helps us all the time when we have any problems and any questions, they help us and make it clear! And also, I can touch and know other countries' cultures, languages, it's really interesting for me. They do have a lot of exciting activities, staffs and teachers are really kind and friendly like a family.programs are also good. They have a lot of programs like business English.. American communication..Essential English and so on. At first, only I can say was Yes or No but for now, through those programs, I'm able to complain something, and kidding in English loll I could make gorgeous and precious memories and friends! I do recommend you to study at this school! And also if you have questions and you want to talk in your native language, Cwc's your native speaker will help you!

    저는 CWC에서 공부하는 것이 정말 즐겁습니다. 선생님들은 친절하고 전문적이며 직원들은 항상 비자와 수업 일정을 도와줍니다. 이곳에 온 이후로 영어가 많이 향상되었습니다.

    Warning!!! Be very careful dealing with these people and with Study1Visa…read more I paid $4,280 for study1visa and this school after being told the program could be done online. I later learned that F-1 students are generally required to attend classes in person (minimum hours on campus) to maintain legal status. I clearly explained that I am located in a different state, yet I was still enrolled in a school far away while being repeatedly told the classes would be online. There was no transparency about who was providing the service, no clear credentials, and no proper explanation of the process. After realizing the inconsistencies and requesting clarification and a refund, I was not helped. Because of this experience, I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and reporting both this company and Study1Visa so others are aware. Please do your research carefully before sending money to anyone offering immigration or visa services. I demand my money is returned immediately!

    My experience with this school and Shelly C has been a nightmare. I was given wrong information…read morefrom the beginning. I clearly said I am in New York, but they enrolled me in a school in California and told me the classes were online. For an F-1 visa, you must attend in person. Anyone who works with student visas should know this. How am I supposed to go to school in California when I live in New York? Because of their mistake, I paid almost $5K. This is unacceptable. I demand my refund immediately. Be very careful before trusting this school and Shelly C.

In fact, about 18 months after beginning, I was able to teach a music clinic in Italy to Italians, mainly in Italian. I have no aptitude for language, and I owe this completely to the school. All I did was simply follow the homework assignments, and practiced a few minutes a day every day. Currently Sylvia is my teacher I had and she is great! The front office is also excellent. They are very accommodating, kind and thoughtful. When I was injured they called me specifically to see how I was doing. The owner is a very nice woman also. They all add a nice personal touch. Classes are affordable and you can take makeups for classes you miss, so the value is excellent. It has been a dream of mine to learn Italian. I highly recommend this school if you live in Los Angeles!

Claudia was immediately available to give me an assessment over the phone and suggested a range from Intermediate 3-5, and let me know I could move up or down if it was too challenging or not enough, walked me through billing etc. She was so sweet and super helpful, correcting my sentences after my attempts to translate what she asked. Thanks Claudia! You are amazing :) So exited to start on Tuesday!

My proficiency in English has improved significantly thanks to Daniel, Toni and supportive learning environment. Moreover, I've had the pleasure of making friends from various countries, which has enriched my cultural understanding and personal growth. The community here is incredibly kind and open-minded, made me feel comfortable and welcomed from the very beginning. I must mention that teacher Daniel is exceptionally kind and makes classes incredibly interesting. I am amazed that how he is patient with all types of students. His preparation for the classes is outstanding, professional and he never bores us. Additionally, Toni makes her classes really compelling that you will grasp everything she teaches. She will be your friend only in few seconds. I love that both of them have best sense of humor. Also, if you ask me, they have broad knowledge about everything that makes classes engaging and insightful. They have quickly become my most favorite teachers. Their engaging teaching styles have made my time here even more enjoyable. Also, I made many great friends here. Although I didn't have the opportunity to study in teacher Sheena's class, she is incredibly kind, gives good advice, and is so fun to talk to. Also, I'm really grateful for Dr.Park and Mrs.Park. I'm truly glad that I had the opportunity to study at Adams College. It is definitely the best college for English studies.
