Whether you’re just starting to learn English or moving toward mastery of the language, the Atlanta English Institute can empower you to realize your dreams. Communications specialists since 1993, we offer a full range of ESL classes, private and small group tutoring, and complete test preparation. AEI has become a community of learning, welcoming students from all over the world – from Colombia to Korea, from Ghana to the Ukraine. We’ve helped our students find their voices, nourish their visions, and feel at home. We invite you to join us. You’ll be glad you did!
Our language instructors – all of them native speakers and experienced English/ESL teachers by vocation – carefully tailor their teaching to each student. Here, no one is a number; instead, each person is an individual. Celebrating the diversity of our student body, we’re mindful of the many cultures among us, and we honor the reality that each student learns differently – at his or her own pace, and in very distinctive ways. With all of our classes limited to nine students, you’re certain to receive the kind of individual attention that makes learning effective, joyful and memorable.
In teaching language, we instill a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary, but then progress to teaching communication. We help students feel comfortable using authentic American English in real-life situations: the university or high school classroom, the workplace, the professional world. Understanding that an integral part of language learning is cultural awareness, built into the curriculum are opportunities for students to experience many aspects of contemporary American life.
Our multi-media language lab and dedicated student computers allow students access to the Internet and up-to-the-minute software. For students preparing for TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT, GED, TOEIC, or LSAT exams, we offer a computer lab and state-of-the-art test preparation software. Keeping in mind the myriad challenges of the new century, we employ the latest in learning technology.
Among our standard and elective courses are language intensives, a summer youth program, courses in Business English, Creative Writing, Literature and Film Studies, and Narrative Writing. Also, our very flexible scheduling allows you to maximize your AEI learning experience.
Finally, while our academic courses are both rigorous and practical, we serve the whole student – spirit as well as mind. We don’t just teach subjects; we teach students to be lifelong learners. And we would be honored to teach you.
