Classes:
YES USA can guarantee the highest quality of teaching. All of our teachers hold the Cambridge teaching certificate CELTA or its equivalent. We take teacher training and development very seriously and maintain extremely high standards of teaching through regular teacher observations and weekly professional development workshops and seminars.
The focus of the program is on developing conversation and communication skills. Students make progress in their fluency and speaking accuracy through constant interaction with teachers and other students in their class. Students also get to practice when they go on excursions and communicate with one another and our activity leader outside of class.
Classes are held at the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables - Miami.
