“Super location, super people, relaxed atmosphere”
“few school activities ”
Insider tip: “The course is of no use if you go home after school and watch YouTube in your own language, I saw this with a friend and he made basically no progress. As a course participant, you shouldn't miss out on doing things with the others and on simply speaking English.”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: The course brings a good mix of meaningful learning and lots of free time.
Other comments I can only recommend it at the moment, although there is a big problem about a far too high payment in a friend's booking, where it is still unclear right now which party (school or residence) is asking for this unannounced extra payment.

Student comments about Homestay
Jan
"Super location, house okay, but unfortunately not really kept clean, meals varied. But: The Accommodation Profile that was sent to me does not come close to the truth. The letter suggests living in a homestay with city residents. This is not the case. Even the address of the house on the profile is wrong. The family owns 2 houses on opposite sides of the street. Thus, to my surprise, I was put in the other house immediately after my arrival. In all my time there, I never once saw the two sisters mentioned in the profile. Nestor I saw for the first time about the fourth week. He was out of town... also a point I would have liked to know beforehand so that I could be prepared. Overall, communication with the hosts was quite difficult, but this was hardly due to the language barrier in any way. The other house is reserved exclusively for students. There is no living room, only individual rooms for the students, which vary greatly in size and quality, a small dining area, a sink area and a shared bathroom. The only functional household items are a fridge and microwave. But these are points I was prepared for, I wasn't expecting 5 star luxury service, but due to the lack of communal living, problems arose with, for example, lack of heating, towels, drinking, milk, bread, Nutella and fruit. Unfortunately these were there throughout my stay and I always had the feeling that the family was only in it for the money. Everything is very much on the back burner and you could call it begging for days to get the heating turned on, for example. If you lived with the family, these problems would probably not exist. There is no encouragement from the host family to communicate with the students in any way or to facilitate a cultural exchange, although one might expect otherwise through the profile. Overall, I would like to see the family create a more truthful profile. Students who come to this family must expect to live together in a student residence. For me this was not such a big problem in the end in this respect because I always lived there with at least one other student, but if you have the misfortune to live alone in the house well... I would have liked to communicate with native speakers outside of school to increase learning progress, this was unfortunately not possible with the other students I met during my time because my English skills were higher than the others. The purpose of homestay, as I understand it, is not fulfilled in my eyes and I am definitely not alone in this opinion."

Questions and answers about EC English
- Does EC English accept foreign students and is it endorsed by the SEVP?“All of our partner schools in the USA, including EC English in San Francisco, are endorsed by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). This means that they accept foreign students and are authorised to issue the Form I-20, which is required to apply for an F-1 student visa, once you have paid your booking fee in full.”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 09, 2024
FAQ about EC English, San Francisco
- I want to travel with a companion. When choosing a double room with a host family, is the cost of the accommodation for both already included in the price?
“The prices shown on the website are per person, which means that the price you see is the price that each of the occupants of that room has to pay. Please, remember that the school can only provide accommodation to those people who are also going to take a course, but not to the companions if they are only looking for accommodation since beds are limited and the school has to keep them for paying students.
”Suzanne Unnus Camilleri, Senior Sales & Admissions Executive from EC English - Aug 13, 2021 - I am French and I will be applying for a tourist visa and not a student visa so is this compatible with the 24 hour course?“If you have any questions about visas, please contact the embassy first to get the latest information. However, in our experience, French nationals do not need a student visa for short courses (up to 90 days).
”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023 - What accommodation is available? I would like a room in a host family“The school offers accommodation with host families, rooms in residences or Appart'Hotel.”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
- I would like a room in a host family and would like to formulate preferences for the choice of family, is this possible?“You can submit your preference criteria in the comment section of the registration form. We will then send them to the school, which will do its best to find the right family for you.”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
- What is the travel distance from the school to the families?“The distance between the families and the school is about 1 hour by public transport.”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
- How many students are there in each class?
“For most courses, there are about 15 students per class
”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023 - Is it possible to arrive a day earlier in the family, and what is the maximum arrival time?“Arrivals are always on Saturday and departures on Saturday. For the time being, it is best to arrive at reasonable times (not too early, not too late) so that the host family can welcome you in the best conditions. If you wish to arrive earlier, you will have to check with the family if this is possible and add a fee of approximately USD 65 for the extra night. ”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
- EC English offers courses for which ages?EC English offers courses from 16 years to 99. Average age is 21 during the summer and 23 for the rest of the year.
