"Friendly, supportive, and professional."

Bernice

The location is excellent; there are many things to do around the school. I would recommend Coto to others because it focuses on teaching how to converse with others instead of just teaching grammar like other language schools I attended. Staff is very welcoming, it feels like they really want to know about me. Overall, great experience.
