Since March of 2011, English Institute in San Antonio has helped thousands of English language learners and test takers, both in our local community and across the globe, develop real-world communication skills that help lead to success in many of today’s academic, professional, and social settings. Our unique brand of small-group and individualized instruction is focused on the specialized and changing needs of students living in contemporary societies where English is spoken.
Our instructors are certified IELTS examiners who hold master’s degrees in Linguistics and have extensive international teaching and business experience. Using the latest second-language teaching methodologies, our language acquisition specialists put you on a fast track to effective spoken and written English for school, work, or general purposes.
We are committed to providing the most value to all our students by offering a highly personalized, engaging, and accelerated approach to spoken English fluency at the lowest cost and most accommodating scheduling options.
As Certified IELTS Examiners and College ESL Instructors, we met many students and working professionals who felt a need to demonstrate English proficiency for their school programs and employers. We helped them to prioritize which skills to focus on first so that they could manage their efforts more efficiently.
After receiving a BA in English from the University of Missouri in 1993, I lived and taught university-level English for seven consecutive years in S. Korea, Hong Kong, and Spain. During this time, I became highly communicative in both Korean and Spanish, and I continue to draw from those experiences as a lifelong learner and as a husband whose wife is from Mexico.
In 2006, I completed my MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Surrey, England and spent five more years teaching ESL in Colorado and Texas public schools and community colleges before dedicating myself full time to the opening of English Institute, which has been compassionately serving the San Antonio and broader community since 2011.
