General English with Elective (Exam Preparation or Business English) Tourist Visa

My teacher was straight forward ... luckily no monolouges but fine dialogues.
The room/chair/table looked like my school class back in 1980.

Location was fine - downtown Miami.

We also did "Walk & Talks" - I found that comfortable.

The manager of the OHC came by and we had a good dialogue all three days too.

I "Graduated" with the hat and got my Diploma the last way ... that was a fun event.

I really liked Professor Rossany, who was very patient with the students and used various recreational activities so that we could practice the language. Facilities and location are very good. In short, I really enjoyed it and recommend the school.

The experience was excellent, the location of the school is the best, the teachers were very dedicated and patient with my son, the extracurricular activities (the recreational outings) were very well planned and the child enjoyed, they met the purpose of teaching in English.

It was an incredible experience, met people from different cultures and the school was excellent. I would definitely return.

My children participated in the Kid's program for 2 weeks. They are really in an elementary level, so I was worried if they could follow the classes. However, the tutor made a great effort to let them follow the classes for 2 weeks, which made me very grateful.

But, I would like the school to provide a more systematic program for the kids somehow. For example, no textbook was provided to my kids. As far as I know, kids were often just talking or playing in the classroom. In the afternoon, kids participated in some activities such as going to zoo, watching a movie and so on. There, tutors just took and accompanied kids to the zoo or cinema, but they didn't try to encourage kids to use English or do anything educational.

I would like the school to improve these points because I would like to take my kids to Miami to let them study English in the United States again.

Miami Beach was a great place to enjoy the spare time. The studio we stayed in was located near to the school and the beach. It was very convenient to spend a life in South Beach.

The school had a very good level of teaching and teachers - dynamic teaching.
There was a small number of students in the classes, so there was an individual approach to each student. The school was in a very good location - everything was near the school, including the students’ accommodation.

Because the school is small, this corresponded to a friendly atmosphere, but not a lot of activities. There was a higher number of students from just one country – Switzerland – which for me was a negative point. The average age of the students was 20. The accommodations matched my requirements.

What I liked was the relationship with students of other countries,
The location is very good.
The classes are dynamics.
What I didn't like was the use of the air conditioner. It cause me one week of sickness. And also for my classmates.
I asked to my teacher and also for the general assistant many times to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner without success. After I got the cough they moderate the use but was to late.

Dwelling:
- Could improve the bed
- Could have changed bed linen one time per week
- Maybe have a room with a safe box
- The room was dark (at night)

School & Teacher:
- For pre-intermediate English
- Has conditions to offer good teaching

Activities:
- School does not have interest in helping or interacting with students.
- You need to question or request for help (American style).
- Secretary had no effort to help

School and Home Location:
- Good

Facilities:
- Could have a covenant to rent bikes or cars
- Could have brought us to a museum, to the movies, or stores

I was in Miami for 3 weeks with my family, and 1 of these weeks I was at Sol Schools. It was a great experience, and thanks to this class my English has improved. I have more confidence to talk in front of people. I had great time.
The teacher, Ali, was great. I loved her. Very close to Lincoln Road, the locations was awesome.
But, in this week, the first day wasn't great at all because we only talked about rules and housing rules. I wasn't in a student house, so it was boring. So the first impression of this school wasn't cool.

The teachers were helpful. Different kinds of activities. The school location is perfect.
In my mind it would be better to have student books, maybe even for an extra charge.

I loved to study in Miami Beach. Great teachers, very close to my apartment, they offered many activities, but I only stay for one week. I rented an apartment on Ocean Drive 530. So it was very close. I hope I be back next year in March. Thanks for this wonderful experience. Oh , I made so many new friends.

I liked the environment in the school: open, friendly, student from different backgrounds & offered activities after-class.
The management and teachers were so welcoming and helpful, responded to all inquiries either related to the course or not. The accommodation was perfect and its location was so close (only few steps to the school). Also I liked the location of the school. It’s close by everything: shops, restaurants, cafes & most importantly the beach.

I would like to come back again for the same experience.
