California Language School: Reviews
Positive experience: The staff are patient and kind.
Fantastic experience: This is a great and wonderful atmosphere for learning.
Fantastic experience: Good teachers.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We hope to see you again! Best of luck to your new endeavors!
Negative experience: I just called to the Admission Department regarding the transfer, and I couldn’t believe that someone can be that rude. Unbelievable. Saying to me “It’s not nice of you to ask that, it’s a procedure, just send us an email”. I was very confused because I’ve send already 2 emails before and never got any answer back from them. And that’s why I called - to check if there are any updates.
Fantastic experience: I studied at California Language School for 2 years. It was a great experience. Thank you to Daniel and Rooney for all your help. I learned a lot and really improved my English. I recommend this school to anyone who wants to study English.
It was a pleasure having you here at CLS! I hope life is treating you well and please say hello to your family!
Fantastic experience: the school has warm and welcoming environment. I have met a lot of great people there! I was studying in TOEFL class taught by Rooney, wise and warm hearted man that cares about his students.
Thank you so much for your amazing review, Vladyslav! You were a great student to have here at our school and wish you the best on your next chapter in life!
Fantastic experience: As a Colombian student, finding a place that feels like home in LA has been truly special. This college has been a huge part of my transition to life here, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been studying here for a year now and it’s been an amazing experience not only have I met people from all over the world, but I’ve also made great progress in learning the language. Ariana, Angie, and Daniel are incredibly kind and genuinely care about making sure you have a great experience. They’ve also listened to our feedback and made improvements based on our suggestions, which shows how much they value students’ input. The college organizes activities that break the routine and give you real immersion in the language, making learning much more engaging. My teachers, Paula and Gannon, and my last teacher Emma are outstanding they have deep knowledge and excellent teaching methods. I highly recommend this college to anyone looking for a welcoming and supportive place to learn and grow!
We always appreciate students sharing their experience with us, please continue to share your thoughts with us so we can always improve for future incoming students. Thank you for studying with us!

Hello Isahid! Please email us at [email protected] so we can better understand your situation :)
Fantastic experience: I was a student at CLS for 3 years, when I just move to LA I couldn’t speak almost any English but everything changed thanks to CLS and their well prepared teachers, I learned so much English that I feel confident about it, plus I met people from around the world and also I got enrolled at a different school without presenting any English test just with an interview! I totally recommend this school, I will always have it in my heart. Thank you CLS
Fantastic experience: Daniel is good person. He is disiplined and trying to make everything perfect what student need.
Fantastic experience: Great School! The teacher is very friendly and has a good atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Had a parking place,clean, beautiful
Fantastic experience: If you need a language school this is the best one. Staff and teachers are very helpful, friendly and attentive.All of my questions are answered in a timely manner and very respectfully. Anyone who has come to this school will know what I’m talking about. The owners, Angie and Daniel are very open hearted people.I don’t know what some of these people are saying but I wouldn’t rely on the credibility of someone who only leaves bad reviews spreading negativity everywhere they go. Sounds like this school dodged a bullet.
Negative experience: Edit in response to the owner’s message: I absolutely have the correct school, and these questions were indeed asked. He asked how long my friend had been in school, what English level he was in, and then told me rudely that someone at his level of English should be able to call for himself. I just hung up the phone I was so infuriated by his attitude. Thank you for your doubt, however, I feel your response just demonstrates the lack of customer service your company has. EXTREMELY rude and incorrectly informed person answering the phone. Literally does not know how f-1 Visas work. My friend is looking to transfer to a new language school, so I called to ask questions about TOEFL while my friend is in class. Instead of helping, the guy rudely remarks “How long has your friend been in the US? He can find a school himself.” Like, yes he can, thank you for your rude attitude, but he’s in classes until your school closes. Then he told me their TOEFL classes wouldn’t work for the F-1 visa. Useless and rude. Will never go here.
Hello Audrey, I am sorry to hear you had such a bad experience, but unfortunately our staff do not ask these types of questions towards any of our students or prospective students, we also do not prohibit or discourage any of our students from taking TOEFL classes. Perhaps you have the wrong school.
Fantastic experience: I spent 3 amazing years at this language school and had no problems whatsoever. I came with the basic English level in 2017 and when I left this school I was able to speak English almost fluently. To learn a new language is always a challenge and teachers at CLS made this process easy. Im so grateful to all staff and management for everything they had done for me. For 3 years learning ESL there they had become almost like a second family to me. Thank you guys and I wish you all the best. PS will stop by to have a donut party like we used to :)
Negative experience: I'm preparing a testimonial video for better express my feelings with the experience I had with CLS. For now I can say I'm greatful I was ignored by Ryan and Daniel through our conversation and lost more then a thousand dollars while I was still in my country. The reason is that I surprisingly got a medical request for not leaving my country for a couple monthes more, during my treatment, and the school just gave me their back, literally and rudely ignored my lost investments and didn't even support me changing the date of my SEVIS, for example. The lack of respect and poor service from this institution showed its face, and proved that Cheap sometimes turns to Expensive. In the end, I'm so grateful I didn't reach CLS and now found an ethic and respectful school to enrol. If I can give you a tip, it's worthier paying $600 or more of monthly tuition somewhere else than having trouble with poor services furtherly. Also, most of schools don't charge you for the I-20. Pay attention.
Negative experience: Don’t waste your time and money in here.
Fantastic experience: I'm loving studying here at CLS! This school has great teachers, great management and great teaching! I'm grateful to have people like this team, always ready to help me! Thank you very much CLS team!
Thank you so much! We love having you study here!
Fantastic experience: Everybody is so nice in this school. It’s a great school. If you need to learn English fast, this is the place!
We're so happy to have you as a student as you bring happiness to other students, instructors, and staff here!
Fantastic experience: I studied there for a semester, went straight from Brazil! Amazing people, the staff is great and always willing to help and they have fun acitvities! I really got my english to the next level! Plus, the price is affordable
Fantastic experience: I'm grateful for this school for many reasons. First, because I`ve been studying for 6 months there and I`m very satisfied with how much I have improved my English. Second, because the teachers and the staff, in general, are always super helpful and willing to give an amazing student life experience to the students in the US. If wasn't for the teacher Cassey Blakemore I wouldn't be able to go to a college or even writing this review right now. She`s very focused on getting her students to a higher education position, which was exactly what I was looking for. Affordability is also a great point to consider. The prices are the same for all levels, beginning, intermediate or advance. If you are not sure about what school to go learning English you definitely should check CLS before cutting any deal.
Thank you for your wonderful comment on our school! It was fantastic having you learn at the school and see you grow so much!

They have amazing teacher and their teaching methods are full of activities and fun. I believe this is the best way to learn a language.
