HOW TO ENROLL
STEP 1: TIME
They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a subject. Mastery is indeed a very long process. The teachers at the American Institute put in thousands of hours learning their craft. The question is, how good do you want to be? How much time do you want to spend being that good? Most of our students take 40 to 50 hours, but those who are serious and want to go further take 100 hours or even more. Don’t forget, the more you study, the more you learn. You may select from a variety of schedule to suit your active lifestyle, or you can give us what day and time you want to study.
STEP 2: LEARNING
We offer various group sessions including CWIG: Critical Writing and Intensive Grammar, PSG: Public Speaking and Grammar, C3: Conversation Fluency, Critical Thinking, Confidence Building, CX: Communication Excellence, CXB: Communication Excellence for Business, and for kids, CXY: Communication Excellence for the Youth. Furthermore, for those who are serious and want to go further, we offer private sessions, a tailored course perfect for your individualized needs, for an intensive English learning experience. For best results, we highly recommend a combination of group and private sessions. Click here for course outlines.
STEP 3: INVESTMENT
Learning is the best investment you can make in your future. Simply make the payment, and you are done. You can visit the Institute if you want to pay in cash or check, or for your convenience, you can fill out the enrollment form online and pay via credit card; if you prefer, you can also make a bank deposit. For better efficiency, we highly recommend that you make a full payment; however, we can assist those who are only able to make a 50% downpayment at the moment. Once you have done all of these, you are ready to start your sessions. Welcome to The American Institute.
