 Are you thinking about doing an English course at GEOS Honolulu? Then, don’t hesitate anymore. I am sure, as I did, that you are going to have a G-R-E-A-T time! It is so cool to be able to take lessons during the morning while in the afternoon you could go surfing, body boarding, sunbathing at the beach, shopping, etc. There are thousands of things to do around Honolulu and the good thing is that the school it is just at the center! I enjoyed so much my time there and the place is awesome!! Don’t be afraid of being alone because you are going to meet lot of people there. A part from the lessons the school organizes lots of fun activities as excursions, learning to dance hula, movies, etc. Really, they are going to become your second OHANA (extended family) and you are not going to want to go back. I totally recommend to everyone to do it because you are going to enjoy so much your stay in such a wonderful place as it is Honolulu. Aloha!! ~ Anais Lores Torruella(SPAIN)

 

Our Part-Time Intensive English Classes meets Monday to Thursday every week, for a total of 17 hours. Students work with two different teachers (one for the morning class and one for the afternoon class) and the most up-to-date, effective textbooks and materials available.

This class is communicative-based with an emphasis on speaking and listening skills. There are six different levels of study, from beginner through advanced. A placement test helps us find the best class level for each student. After their course, students receive a GEOS certificate.
