The Ernest Hemingway English Institute opened its doors to students in October, 2005, to teach English as a Second Language and to prepare students to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Located on the second floor at 45 North Main Street, the Institute is headed by Eva dos Santos who began her business after working with non-English-speaking clients at Catholic Social Services. She sees English proficiency as the key to success for many foreigners and local immigrants who cannot advance in their work without improving their language skills. She also offers training in technical writing, business English, accent reduction and presentation skills in addition basic, intermediate and advanced ESOL classes. For more information, contact Ms. Santos at 508-675-9700.
 

(Pictured above) Ms. dos Santos provides instruction in a small classroom setting where students receive lots of individual attention as well as interaction and practice in conversation with other students who come from a variety of language backgrounds. Students pay a fee which helps to motivate their involvement and investment in the learning process. Morning, afternoon and evening classes are offered throughout the week and on weekends to fit the student's schedule.
