Studying English in New York is simple at Uceda School. Classes are available for everyone from the complete beginner to the advanced ESL student. Staff members are prepared to help students with everything from getting a student visa to finding a ride from the airport.

Initiation classes teach basic structures and simple vocabulary to those with no prior knowledge of English. These beginners learn to create simple sentences in the present tense. Short conversations are often the focus for beginners at Uceda.

More advanced speakers can continue their studies by learning more complicated structures, tenses, and figures of speech. Uceda instructors may use written materials, audio recordings, personal conversations, and other methods to help students learn to understand and create both written and oral English.

Instructors also encourage students to analyze and discuss differences between the United States and their country of origin. Even though many schools ignore it, this cultural awareness can be an essential part of learning English as a second language. Even when the vocabulary and structure is learned, cultural differences must still be overcome for effective communication.

Staff members at Uceda are trained to assist international students whenever possible. The school can answer questions about student visas, pick up students at airports, and even locate inexpensive student housing. All Uceda campuses offer open labs and wireless internet, making it easy for students to do their homework as well as contact distant friends and family.

At our Uceda Schools, learning English in New York can be both fun and convenient. Students can attend classes during the day and tour New York City over the weekends. Buses and subways transport students cheaply anywhere they want to go, from Times Square to Central Park. Shopping, visiting landmarks, and attending plays are just some of the activities that can be enjoyed while studying English in New York.
