Gain the confidence to speak English clearly and comfortably in everyday situations with our 6-level course. Our personalized ESL classes ensure you're placed at the perfect level for quick, effective progress.
The ESL program at AELS offers 6 structured levels, from Basic to Level 5, designed to help students master English speaking, listening, reading, and writing. New students begin with a placement test to determine the appropriate level. Each level takes 3 months to complete and ends with the CASAS exam (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System) to measure real progress in English proficiency.
Graduates of Level 5 receive an ESL Certificate of Completion, demonstrating the language skills needed to succeed in daily life, work, or further education.
Each level includes targeted reading materials and writing exercises designed to build vocabulary, strengthen grammar, and develop fluent writing skills. Students learn to write in various formats—such as letters, recipes, and essays—while mastering idiomatic expressions and complex sentence structures.
Small class sizes allow for interactive, real-life conversation practice. Instructors focus on pronunciation, vocabulary, and listening comprehension through guided discussions, providing students with personalized feedback to build confidence and fluency.
At AELS, we believe consistent progress leads to lasting results. Our teachers closely monitor each student’s performance through regular assessments, classroom participation, and weekly check-ins. This allows us to provide personalized feedback and support, helping students overcome challenges and improve steadily in all areas of English. Our goal is to ensure every student stays motivated, on track, and continuously growing.

Students receive a 1-week break between each 3-month quarter, with the next quarter starting the following Monday. For long-term students, those who complete 3 consecutive quarters (9 months) are eligible to take a 1-quarter (3-month) break. We encourage consistent study, as longer breaks can lead to learning loss and reduced motivation—so extended breaks are only allowed after a sustained period of progress.
