English Lessons in Barranquilla, Colombia
We teach private English lessons, the quickest and best way to learn. We do not use tapes, computers or CD´s. The lessons are human to human. Our emphasis is not only teaching good English, but also preparing and supporting your fiancé to adapt and understand her future modern American environment. Your fiancé will also be able to associate with other girls preparing to leave the country. This creates a fellowship for friendships and contacts in the U.S. that can provide added support and comfort.
All of our teachers have taught English at the university level and many have lived in the States. Their maturity and experience provides an extra edge in guiding the student into a new language and cultural assimilation. Your fiancé will learn many of the practical, basic requirements of everyday life to which we never give any thought but will be unfamiliar to your new bride. The learning program is personalized to your fiancé´s needs. It is an intensive and disciplined program that encourages the women to learn quickly and accurately.
Of utmost importance, as your distant agent you can expect our honest appraisal and aid on all matters that cannot be seen or done by you. We will oversee what is in the best interest for you and your fiancé with added support and open feedback at no extra cost. We have helped with the immigration paperwork for Americans, Canadians and Australians and have counseled the women in personal matters to prevent complications and difficulties. All the girls become friends with our translators and teachers and have open access to us. Our involvement has provided our male clients with valuable insight they would not get elsewhere.

Differences in Our Teaching Program and Other English Institutes in Barranquilla
All of our instructors have lived outside of Colombia and have better English speaking skills with less of an accent than local instructors. The instructors we use were selected from dozens of applicants in order to have the best the city offers in teaching credentials and integrity. They all have a genuine interest in the student´s advancement.
All English schools are not the same and price is not the determining factor of the true skill level of the instructor or the quality of the teaching program and understanding the advantage of private lessons over group lessons. Women who select their own teachers usually select friends or acquaintances and don´t learn very much. Prior to starting our English program the feedback we got from our customers was not good. Guys were complaining that their fiancé was not learning fast enough, and they were right. We are often involved in helping with matter 5-8 months into a relationship seeing the poor progress the women made in learning English using other venues. We even got complaints of male instructors picking up on the student or saying negative things about Americans. So we are well aware of the teaching deficiencies from other sources, which is why we saw a need to do better.
We are the only program teaching cultural adaptation and etiquette. Almost all of the women's expectations of living in the United States are skewed. We teach them practical and proper matters that will allow the women to prepare and better understand and assimilate to the American life. This will make the start of your relationship much better when your fiancé moves to the U.S. Our stress on educating the woman to the American way, and to the higher standards of her new social standing, and to the necessary communication skills needed to be part of a new family can help avoid difficulties.
Due to our close association we are able to offer council, guidance and information to the girls and men in a variety of personal areas. When we see a concern we act on it. We are always here for advice and help.
Your fiancé having a solid foundation in English when she arrives in the States will better help her employment options if so desired. One can immediately apply for a Social Security number and employment permission even prior to marriage.
We run a disciplined program. In Colombia where money is short, it is the student that dictates to the teacher. It is more important to keep a happy paying student even if it is at the expense of pushing the student to a higher level at a faster rate. We don´t operate like the locals in this regard. We do not pamper our students. We coach the women to be self-motivated and appreciative of your generosity and this special opportunity. We stress learning and understanding the significance of the changes that will be taking place and the necessary effort and changes she will need to undertake to make your lives together more enjoyable. When the student is not meeting her obligations you will know about this. We have lost students because of our forthright feedback to the guys. The guys rightfully conclude that if the girl is not applying herself he is not going to pay for classes. No other school here would provide information like this and jeopardize losing a student. We will and do. You will always know the truth when dealing with us. Our concern is the long run implications impacting a good lasting relationship not our short run return.
I manage all aspects of our teaching program to make sure we perform and do what is in the best educational interest of the student that is of complementary interest to you. You can be assured we will always watch your back.
