INDIVIDUAL MONTHLY STUDENT COUNSELING & MONTHLY STUDENT PROGRESS REPORT
We constantly monitor your academic studies to ensure improvement! On the last day of each four-week session we give full-time students individual counseling with their teachers. You will receive a Student Progress Report(SPR) with comments from your teachers and your grades. You will meet one on one with your teacher for a personal counseling session. Your teacher will go over the report card, and give advice on how to improve your skills.
ACADEMIC & HOMESTAY COUNSELING
Our Academic Coordinators and Homestay Coordinators will counsel you individually 1-2 weeks after you arrive about your classes and your accommodations. If there are any concerns or problems, our Coordinators will ensure that they are fixed quickly and efficiently.
COMPUTER FACILITIES
All GEOS schools in the USA and Canada have student computers and wireless Internet networks(WiFi) so you can use your laptops and other portable electronic devices. You can use the school computers to further develop your language skills, check e-mail, browse websites, and even do your homework.
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES & EXCURSIONS
Our schools have a monthly social calendar with activities and excursions. You can participate and visit local tourist attractions with GEOS staff and students. Trips are provided at a nominal cost and each school has at least 2 trips a week. (Some of our GEOS schools even do activities every day!)
VISA SUPPORT
We offer complete and free visa support. We will guide you in the correct procedures needed to extend or transfer your visa. We will also aid you should you wish to take an one-month vacation.
ACCOMMODATION SUPPORT
You may be interested in staying in a residence hotel or dormitory. Our staff can assist you in finding ecomomical forms of accommodation. As space may be limited and may require advanced reservations, we suggest that you book 4 weeks of homestay first if possible. It is much easier to arrange other accommodations after your arrival. Please visit our Accommodations Page for more details.
OPEN-DOOR POLICY
All our GEOS schools practice an open-door policy. That means that students can find, and talk to, any staff member at any time about anything! Our friendly and professional staff are always happy to assist you with any type of inquiry. Everything from asking about accommodations to finding a nice restaurant for the weekend, nothing is too trivial or mundane.
