GEOS Languages PLUS - Pathways Program

This is the fi rst time I have ever said “Wow! I’m

proud of myself.” My graduation is just ahead, and I

am ready to transfer to a university. I now think back

to the beginning of my English study at GEOS. I started

from beginner class and fi nished in the advanced

class. Through my English studies at GEOS, I learned

that the most important thing to do for your English is

repetition. While I shared my daily event in class every

day, I suddenly noticed, “I know a lot of vocabulary.”

Also my favorite class activity was the presentations.

Of course, everyone gets nervous the fi rst time, but I

realized it is actually fun. A lot of my experiences in

GEOS gave me confi dence. Therefore, I wasn’t worried

about anything when I started studying at El Camino

College.

Although I have learned so many things there as well,

GEOS is the most special for me.

GEOS Languages PLUS - Language Coop Program - Canada

I am very thankful for the program and all staff at GEOS Languages Plus who helped me to have this opportunity.

I have improved my English skills at GEOS Languages Plus by taking a variety of courses. The time I have spent at the school was really valuable for my

language study, however, the time I spent working was also very benefi cial.

I took as many courses as possible at GEOS Languages Plus, such as TESL and TEC programs. By the time I graduated, I had taken almost all of the courses, and had improved my English skills a lot. Although I was still afraid of my English skills a little bit when I left the school, I could continue my studies by practically reviewing what I have learned at school while I worked. Since I have also done an internship as a school agent, not only was I able to use my English skills to cooperate with ESL schools, but was also able to use my TESL skill to teach some mini English classes to students. In addition, I learned many new expressions from my co-workers which I couldn’t learn at school.

I have no doubt that my working experience in Canada has contributed to my English skills as well as my school life. I am truly grateful for the opportunity.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration in reading my letter. I strongly hope that future students who are eager to learn can get the same quality of support for the co-op Visa.

Yours faithfully,

Yuta Inoue

Hi, I'm Adrian. I am from Mexico. I came to GEOS to improve my English. I need English to transfer to the university. I really enjoyed my time here, and I have met a lot of people from diff erent countries. It was very interesting to discover diff erent cultures. The teachers were all amazing, interesting, and cool! I really recommend it! If you choose GEOS you will not make a mistake! Thank you!.

My name is Jenny. I am from Taiwan. I will go to high school in Victoria, Canada after I fi nish classes at GEOS. I was very shy when I came to GEOS in the beginning. I was very shy and couldn't talk to anyone. But the teachers helped me a lot. They have a lot of activities, group discussion during classes. These helped me to know more about my classmates. I become more comfortable with my school life. And I made many good friends here. I like the cafeteria at GEOS as well, students gather together and talk during lunch time. It was a great way to make friends. I really like studying at GEOS.

My name is Laura, and I am from Brazil. My experience at GEOS was very good because the teachers and staff are excellent. They create great activities for learning English. My classmates were also great. I was able to meet students from many diff erent countries and cultures. Also, the school was located in a good area with many restaurants and stores around. Costa Mesa is close to the beaches, to Los Angeles, and to other famous, beautiful cities. I would defi nitely recommend GEOS to any student looking for a good place to study English.

Name of Student: Laura

Name of Country: Brasil

I decided to go to GEOS because one of my friends recommended it to me. When I started my course I was not confi dent with my English skills but step by step I'm improving. I'm very happy with my classmates and teachers. Also, the classes are funny and we spend a lot of time practising speaking and listening. This is good for me because speaking and listening are my weak points.I will spend 6 months at GEOS. I think at the end of my studies I will be ready to use English at work, for my other studies, and in social situations. I would recommend all people who are thinking about improving their English to choose GEOS. It's a great experience and I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Hello, I'm Kristina. I'm from Russia. I have been at GEOS for 4 months. I like it because I can learn not only English, but also a lot of things about American culture. It was really fun to spend time with people from other countries. All classes are very helpful and all teachers are really nice. I'm sure that if you come to GEOS you will have a lot of experiences and it would be a great memory in your life.

Hello, my name is Lukas. I'm from the Czech Republic. I came to GEOS to improve my English. I need English for my high school and college, which might be in California. I had a great time and met many new friends. The teachers at GEOS were great and made studying fun. I really don't regret that I came to GEOS. If you want to study English, go to GEOS-the best English school ever! Thank you!

I have taken the GEOS High School Preparation Program. I have learned a lot of things and have been supported by a lot of people through my high school life in Victoria. Needless to say, one of my supporters was GEOS Victoria. For the fi rst 5 months, I went to GEOS to prepare for studying at a local high school. I studied not only English but also Math, Chemistry and so on. During that time, I met people with diff erent backgrounds so I felt culture shock; however, I eventually found out it was fun to see cultural diff erences. I was able to prepare for my studies before I went to high school so I did not fall behind. When I entered high school, I still kept studying private lessons at GEOS. I disliked studying because everything was very tough but the tutors taught me how to study. Thanks to them, I learned the pleasure of studying. They were very kind and taught me patiently and in detail all of the time until I got to understand. I was very happy when I was able to understand the problem which I had not been able to do by myself. I have learned a lot in 3 years. Thank you so much GEOS and

Victoria. I'd like to make good use of this experience for my university life in the U.S..

Malta where the sun shines the whole year round on its North African-like landscape!

Although geographically small, Malta is culturally rich, boasting some of the oldest free-standing struc-

tures in the world and a history that has both mirrored and shaped European history. Ruled by many

diff erent global powers, Malta’s last foreign rulers, the British, gave the island the English language which

is one of its two offi cial languages along with Maltese. The climate, however, is far from British - being

in the middle of the Mediterranean, it is mild for most of the year with hot, sunny summers that attract

holiday makers from Europe as well as further afi eld.

Sprachcaff e/GEOS’ Malta school is a refl ection of the typical Maltese mixture of Mediterranean and British styles - the

complex is located in the former British military area of Pembroke with our student residences housed in converted

colonial era barracks. In the middle of the complex, however, is a large swimming pool with palm trees where stu-

dents can relax, enjoy the sun and get to know other students between and after lessons. Educational facilities are

also located in the complex along with a café, restaurant and beach volley ball pitches so students have everything

they need for a short-term education holiday or a longer-term intensive academic course.

I have read the booking conditions and accept them.

Agent name (if applicable):

1. Enrolment: Fill in the application form and scan it to [email protected]. A deposit of 20% of the total amount is due at the time of registration. With your application you commit yourself to the services requested and booking conditions. After having received your application and deposit we will send the confi rmation of enrolment and the invoice. The welcome pack with extra information and the address of your accommodation will be sent after you have settled the remaining balance. The invoice must be paid in full four weeks before arrival.

2. Change of booking: Any change (e.g. arrival date, accommodation, etc.) required up to 28 days before departure will incur a fee of 50 € / 40 £ / $ 65 or equivalent (USA in accordance with ACCET and local state regulations). Afterwards we will do our utmost, but cannot guarantee the fulfi llment of the request made since extra costs may incur. In that case, the rebooking charge may exceed 50 € / 40 £ / $ 65.

3. Cancellation: You may cancel your enrolment at any time prior to the commencement of your course. For U.S. enrollments, you are required to read and sign the specifi c refund and cancellation policies. In all other locations, the following cancellation fees will apply:- 28 days or more before course commencement: 10% of total fees, max.250 € / 200 £/ $ 350 or equivalent.- between 15 and 27 days before commencement: 25% of total fees, max. 300 € / 250 £/ $ 400 or equivalent.- between 1 and 14 days before commencement: 50% of total fees, max. 600 € / 500 £/ $ 800 or equivalent.Thereafter, 90% of the total fee is required, max. 1000 €/ 850 £/ $ 1250. If you should cancel/withdraw after the commencement of your course, no refund will be made. In USA, please consult the school for its refund policies. A cancellation insurance is available at 2% of the total amount (minimum 50 € / 40 £ / $ 65). The insurance fee must be settled at the time of registration and will only apply if you cancel prior to departure due to health reasons (a written confi rmation from the relevant doctor is required as proof).

In the unlikely event the school won’t be able to create a group course due it not having enough students at the sametime/level, smaller group or Private Tutorials for a reduced amount of lessons will be provided instead (20 lessons =12 lessons / 30 lessons = 18 lessons).

Under the rare circumstances of our being forced to cancel, all fees paid for GEOS Languages Plus services will be refunded. The minimum number of participants is 4.

4. Visa: In order to provide the letter of acceptance and/or documents for visa application required by the embassy for issuing a visa, 40% of the total amount should be paid together with an additional charge of non- refundable 80 € / 65 £/ $ 120 or equivalent (in USA and Canada this amount is included in the registration fee); non-refundable shipping fees may apply. In the case of visa refusal, a full refund minus the additional, non refundable fees, can only be made if the student provides the letter of refusal issued by the embassy at least 14 days before departure. After this date we will consider the participation of the student as confi rmed and normal cancellation/rebooking charges will apply. In case the visa has not yet been issued 15 days before departure, we strongly recommend postponing the course. In this case, the fi rst rebooking fee will not be charged (evidence of visa refusal is required).

5. Acceptable forms of payment:- By bank transfer: The relevant account number will be on the invoice.Please send us a copy of the transfer order. All bank charges will be incurred by you.- By credit card: Upon your notifi cation, the appropriate form will be sent. It will need to be completed with the name of the credit card company, card number, expiry date and signature.

6. Insurance: Neither agent, operator, nor the school will be held responsible in any way for any accident,illness, loss of personal eff ects or change in personal circumstances arising at any time prior to, or during, the course. We therefore strongly recommend our personal travel insurance (incl. Health, Accident, Liability, Deportation: Basic protection from 0.99 € / 0.83 £/ $ 1.39 per person per day Plus a service charge of 12 € /10 £ / $ 15). 7. Liability: Parents of minors agree that neither GEOS Languages Plus nor the homestay shall be liable for damage or problems caused either negligently or intentionally by their children while participating in trips. Parents and their children who are still minors recognize and accept the laws and the normal code of conduct of the country which they are visiting.
