Individualized attention
EF’s personalized attention begins as soon as you contact your local EF office. During a free consultation with one of our educational counselors, we assess your current language abilities to help you determine which EF school and course best suits your needs and interests. Once at your school, the Efekta™ Fluency Test accurately identifies your strengths and weaknesses. During your course, your EF Advisor helps devise your academic plan and checks in with you regularly to ensure you are meeting your goals.
Exceptional teachers
We know the difference a great teacher makes in language learning. All EF teachers hold specialist teaching qualifications and have an average of seven years of teaching experience. Additionally, all are trained in the EF Efekta™ System. But, what makes EF teachers truly exceptional is that they are hand-selected for their personality, enthusiasm, creativity– and their commitment to sharing your success.
The widest selection of academic subjects
During your EF Academic Year Abroad, take lessons of your choice in addition to general language instruction. This way, build your language fluency at the same time that you build your knowledge in topics that genuinely interest you.
The EF Efekta™ iLab – reinforce your learning
In most other language schools, traditional language laboratory learning means studying by yourself with books and audio tapes. Not at EF. We have equipped our schools with hundreds of computers and state-of-the-art, multimedia language labs (iLabs), offering interactive tutorials. These on-line tutorials are synchronized with both your EF textbook units and your face-to-face classroom topics. When questions arise, your teacher is there in the iLab to help.
