Review about Kaplan New York Empire State
Cool English school in the heart of Manhattan, in a huge skyscraper - the very view from the windows every minute says that you are in NEW YOOOOORKE!
Everything is super-modern (from design classes to textbooks), the teachers are young, in my opinion, forty years maximum.
They offer a lot of excursions and evening trips: to musicals, to restaurants of national cuisine, to art galleries: in the general lobby, there is always a billboard for the coming days + weekend excursions (but there it’s better to record there in a few days, because groups are quickly fill up). It only remains to walk around the city - for me personally it was even more interesting than official excursions, to see how legendary New York lives (it was my first time in America).
At the end of their studies they gave a certificate: I listened to such a course for so many hours, reached good level by the way.
