How do I know if my English is proficient enough to take your course?

Yes – casual, but no tank tops or open-toe shoes. Shorts are fine. Class may be a bit chilly. If you’re sensitive, bring a sweater. Most students are quite comfortable.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Assume most every form possible except a personal check. Credit card (MC/VISA/Discover), U.S. bank/travellers’/certified/airline checks, wiring, cash, Zelle, etc. More specific information can be found on the ‘Payment Page.’
