★★★★★ 5 / 5
This is the best experience i had, the classes were amazing and you had the freedom to change classes from different levels or from morning to afternoon classes. The people behind the front desk are always were helpful and every teacher i had was really good and funny. I really enjoyed the classes. After classes I had the whole day to explore new york and it was really easy to make friends. June was an amazing month to visit too, the weather was amazing. I defenitly recommend. You learn so much englisch not just from the classes but from everyday interactions in nyc. 10/10

I spent 3 weeks in Kaplan school and it was wonderful ! The teachers are very very good, I was with Judi and she's a very great teacher and very nice. I recommend that school to everyone who wants to improve English.

It was a great experience; you can learn a lot at Kaplan. The teachers are great, but if there’s one thing that could be improved, it’s the coffee.

★★★★ 4 / 5
This experience was really great. The teacher Nicole was fantastic, and her teachers were truly exemplary. I never got bored with the teacher, and I learned so much. The school placed me in a fantastic class. The only negative thing was Kaplan+; there are very few clubs to choose from, and most of them didn't match the end of my classes.
