School Introduction

Lessons are held in a patio meeting facility of a lovely beach hotel. The setting is casual. The teacher is a master ESL teacher, Mike Miller, who holds two Master's Degrees from Penn State University where he taught English for fifteen years. He is currently on the ESL staff of Saint Petersburg College and has taught ESL in Florida for seven years. He is also an excellent tour guide. If you choose the Travel Option, there are daily excursions in the glittering, safe, fascinating Tampa Bay area. There are also weekend trips to Orlando and Miami. You will learn English as you travel. No official certificates are given. This program is designed for students who want to learn English in a setting based on fun and immersion in American culture. No I-20 is issued; you travel as a tourist. Saint Petersburg has gorgeous beaches, shopping areas, recreational facilities, museums, music concerts, and restaurants. We understand that some students wish to learn in a relaxed atmosphere and to experience the joys and thrills that Florida has to offer.

ESL Program Introduction

The ESF program is multi-level, serious, fun and conversational. You will practice reading and listening in a film series built upon vocabulary development and American idiom. Occasional tests and quizzes are given as teaching tools. Each morning program has four segments: 1) reading & grammar, 2) conversation, 3)popular music, and 4) American film classics. Mike Miller, a master teacher, is known for his humor and his lucid presentations of the basics of English. TOEFL prep and Business English are available. ESF combines serious academic learning with travel and activity. We believe that you don't need to come to the United States only to sit in a classroom and dormitory, studying all the time. You can do that in your home country. At ESF you will experience the excitement of immersion in a new culture. Nevertheless, the English instruction provided is of the highest quality.
