"Amazing"

Mohammed Alfaihani

It was good and perfect, and I hope other students learn from the school and the teachers. All of them connect with the people with respect, love, and communication, so learn from, respect, and love them because they are really nice people who deserve these. Be good to them and treat them well. They are all good and wonderful people.

"My English improved a Lot!l"

Silvana Quirino

For sure, my English improved a lot. I really enjoyed studying at Target with my teachers, Emily and Jillian. They were amazing! I learned so much from them. Now, I am in another school, because the schedule and price is easier for me, but the quality I had in Target was very good. I took a course at Harvard last month, so I'm really happy and proud of myself.

"Excellent choice to learn English"

Sara M

The teachers I had at Target are incredible individuals. The small class sizes offer quality interaction with instructors and classmates for optimum learning. Besides learning English, it is also an opportunity to make lots of friends and learn about American culture.

"Good school with the best teachers!"

Daria Zavarzina

It was a great experience for me to study in this excellent school! I met a lot of new friends, brilliant teachers and such a nice staff, who all helped me to learn English, to communicate easily, and to not be afraid to speak in English! The teachers always try to come up with new activities, games, and fun events, which is good because you can learn faster. The lessons were always busy, but not boring at the same time. I am very happy that I was able to attend this school. I successfully passed the TOEFL and am now pursuing my personal goals for my academic career. Thank you Target International Student Center!

P.S I miss you guys!

"Good learning experience"

Lucia Luna

I had a good experience studying at Target. The teachers were very friendly and helpful, and were always willing to explain everything as many times as necessary. I improved my English and made a lot of friends from different parts of the world. The location was accessible from the green line, and the facilities were small but comfortable. They had activities for the students every month to celebrate some of the American holidays and to go explore the city of Boston.

"Had a good time both learning and playing"

Li-Hsing Lo

I had studied in Target International Student Center for one year. All staff are nice there. Also, the teachers are passionate in teaching. The tuition of Target is affordable, so students don't worry about it. The location of Target is very convenient in that there is a B-Line station. It is located in Allston which is a safe area in Boston. Therefore, students don't have to worry about safety issues.

Tatyana Kolesnikova

Thank you, dear school, for your wonderful teachers and friendly staff! I studied at Target for almost a year, and my language skills improved a lot. After the time I spent at Target, I was able to study at Bunker Hill Community College, and my grades were high!

Thank you, teachers, for your guidance, and thank you, staff, for your quick help with everything!
