Take Private English as a Daily Language to improve your conversational English!
English as a Daily Language (EDL) is an out-of-classroom session with our experienced bilingual and
bicultural advisors who are proficient in teaching conversational English, US culture, and methods of
communication.
Our Cultural Advisors participate with clients in various activities, helping them improve their English and
teaching them skills necessary for successful communication with English speakers. Our clients’
English skills improve as well as their understanding of American culture, which our clients have told us
has led to them feeling more confident and better adjusted to life in the Unites States.
Most of our cultural advisors have experience in teaching English as a Second Language, and they all
have an understanding of cultural differences and are sensitive to clients’ needs.
