Riverside Language Program

it's great.The classmates are very friendly and the teacher is very good Learning English here is great. I am a zero beginner and started learning English at leave1 and it has been very useful for a semester. I will continue to learn it. Really worth recommending

I would like to share my experience of studying at Riverside School. It is a place where magical things happen. Here, you don’t just learn English; you are surrounded by care and incredible support. Here, you make friends, build plans for the future, and become more confident every day; it’s a place where your wings begin to grow. I have always admired the staff at Riverside School. They are professionals, enthusiasts, and people who are passionate about their work and share that love with us, the students. A huge thank you to my teacher, Vicki. It was a great time spent in the classroom. And yes, our class, in my opinion, was special. We became friends, chatted a lot during breaks, and supported and helped each other. Here, I began to understand more about the uniqueness of each person—a person with a different culture, traditions, and sometimes a very difficult life experience. My classmates, you are awesome! Another very important group of people are our volunteers, who helped us day after day to read, speak, and discuss in a language that was foreign to us. Thank you for your work; we really appreciate it. I would like to express special gratitude to my mentor Ron. I am happy that I met such an incredible person like you on my path. Thank you, Riverside School, for all the wonderful moments spent together. A part of my heart will forever remain here.

This is Doris, my first teacher at Riverside, demonstrates exceptional diligence and dedication to her work, understanding that teaching is not just a demanding job but also a unique opportunity for personal and cultural exchange. She genuinely cares for each student, considering their mentality and individuality, and creates an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect. In a short period, she not only aims to convey knowledge from textbooks but also shares her own culture, bringing a unique perspective and personal experience to her lessons. Putting in more than one hundred percent and valuing every minute, she strives to give students as much as possible, becoming a source of inspiration, knowledge, and cultural enrichment for them. P.S.: “I am very glad that she has appeared on my life's path!”. 🌹🌺🪻🌎

Attending Riverside school is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. The program is very well organized and extremely welcoming to immigrants, no matter their status. The school environment feels warm and friendly. The teachers, counselors, and all the staff are very skilled and always ready to help. I made amazing progress in my English thanks to my wonderful class teacher, Vicki. She is so passionate about teaching and really cares about every student. I also made many good friends in the class. Even after finishing the program, we still talk to each other in English and stay in touch. Thank you so much, Riverside school ! I’m very grateful. (Just so people know: the school has now moved to 8th Avenue.)

I definitely do not recommend it. Especially Noel at level 4 is absolutely not qualified to teach. When it comes to issuing certificates, he gives normal certificates to his favourite people, even if they don't attend classes as required. We reported this discrimination to he, but he did nothing about it. We wrote about this issue to the information email address, but Riverside did nothing. Unfortunately, this institution is not worthy of New York or America.
