American Language Communication Center Reviews

My agent was on vacation, and people in the front desk transferred me to other agents. I kept waiting and then I asked how many people are waiting before me? One answered that I was the next one for No.1 desk, so I continued waiting for the woman calling me. But after talking with a students, she called another one. And she never call me! So I went to the front desk, the one told me I was the next again! It s obvious that the agent doesn t want to help! After waiting for an hour, I just cancelled it.How terrible of the competition between agents!

This school provides the best program. The most important thing is that everything in books is connected with real life in America and New York.
I remember first text on the first level about super in the buildig, then text about girl that takes bus to Central park, than all possible situations with people and places. It's much easier to remember words and grammar if you feel connection with real life. For me this is so important!
Also a lot of good teachers but some of them are hilarious!
Very good buffet with large selection of almost everything you might want. Good place to meet people from all around the world.
Once in my class were two fashion designers, restaurant owner, chef of French restaurant and many other interesting people.

I had a great experience in ALCC. First, my agent Barbara is outstanding. She treats everyone equal, never loses her good mood, and no matter how crowded would be the reception, she would give enough attention to make you feel special. Second, they have pretty good teachers committed to teach. I could highlight for Writing Raymond and Roxanne, for grammar Aaron, Wilma, and Raymond, and for conversation Jenna and Kathleen. All of them, promote a very interactive class. They know how to run the class smoothly, but they won't miss a opportunity to correct your pronunciation, which made me improve a lot. Finally, it is well located in the heart of Manhattan, surrounded by variety of options of shopping, food and refreshments, although they have a very good cost-benefit cafeteria on the 4th floor. For those reasons, I definitely give 5 stars for ALCC.

ALCC was a first English Center I had for the first time I came to the United States. I had many good memory here with my class (grade 4th with teacher Nyle. I had most 4 months to studied in there. It is wonderful the language center, good staff, perfect teachers, friendly people and multinational students with great location at "the big apple). Thanks for everything you provided and taught me.

This school is a nightmare, a very cruel joke. They don t care about students, all they care about is money. Some of the teachers working there are mentally unstable, plain crazy, many teachers are openly laughing at your mistakes or accent, and I mean you go there to learn and improve your English, don t you? Most of the Employers are disrespectful and rude. Sometimes when one teachers doesn t show up they will combine you with another class and there are so many students that you can barely breathe or move. In many classes levels are very mixed, students who can barely speak are in the same room with students way more advanced. It s uncomfortable for both. As I mentioned they don t care about students. Couple weeks ago they kept us out of school in the morning in the freezing temperature (25F). Nobody knew what was going on and nobody told us. I stood there for 45 minutes, some of us even longer. After that time they told us to go warm up somewhere and come back in 15 minutes. When we came back we had to stand there for another 40 minutes. Eventually they told us to go somewhere (remember it s the middle of the winter) and come back in 2 hours. That was ridiculous and inhumane. They treat students like trash and piggy bank. I went home, because I was cold
af and took me 3,5 hours to warm up after that. I got absent and messed my attendance and the school doesn t want to do anything about it. I can t afford to go to a restaurant for two hours and order food just to be able to stay there. I don t live in NYC to go home and come back and it was way too cold to wandering around the city to kill that time. I am thinking about reporting them to the state, because what they are doing and how they re running that school is ridiculous. Don t go there, save yourself from constant headache. it s not worth the money.

Very good school to lear English! All teachers nice and know their job,they are making class very interesting! I've been here for 2 years and can recommend this school for internationally students

Unbelievable. Mr Octavio was responsible for fill up papers for my niece traveling from overseas into US.
Turned out that the proses went through fast be cause the money was paid at front.
Now almost a year later I ve been trying to collect the money back, because they said if you don t get the visa the payment goes back into your account between 4 or 5 months period.well as I said early I ve been trying to contact him and every time I speak to him there are some excuses.
My believe this place became a scam so it s employees.
Just do a better research a bout American language center they just want your money.
Alexander..

My experience with the school has been very positive. My teacher is Charles Serrano he s the best teacher I have had. He provides high -quality education and a character enriching experience. Charles helps me a lot with my grammar and pronunciation. I really like this school and the teachers.
