Dear Martha,

Greetings! My name is Molly Young, and I am the Assistant Director for International Affairs at Cambridge College. I am writing to you today to let you know how very impressed I have been with the staff, faculty, and overall operation of the New England School of English in Harvard Square.

We had a student in Fall 2013 who came to us with exceedingly poor English. He had been passed along to us by another ESL program, and was facing a full-time semester of undergraduate courses. We helped him apply to NESE and transfer so that he could improve his English before attempting our courses.

When he returned to us 8 months later, having studied full-time with NESE for those 8 months, he spoke beautiful, clear English. He has no trouble understanding what I or his professors say to him, and he can engage in comfortable conversation without difficulty.

This set the stage for this Fall term (2014). We had a group of Chinese students come to our program, supposedly with sufficient English proficiency. This was not the case. Based on the previous student’s success, we decided to recommend NESE to this group as well.

NESE provided us with unprecedented support, sending us applications in Chinese language (so the students did not struggle with completing the apps), processing the applications very quickly, and welcoming the students with a well-organized and friendly Orientation on their first day.

Half of that group is now, after five months of study, ready to begin our academic courses, and the rest of the group should be ready for our courses this summer. Lindsay Costa has been my primary contact for all of these students, and she has been just marvelous: her patience and organization are an absolute blessing, and have made this entire experience so much more positive than I was afraid it would be.

I am so pleased that we have such a wonderful institution so close to Cambridge College. I look forward to recommending NESE to my students and their friends/family members in the future.

Warm regards,

Molly Elise Young, M.Ed.

Since it was founded in 1990, NESE has consistently received wonderful feedback from students, families, and companies that have chosen to study with us. Every year, we are delighted to receive lovely messages from our students who return home, not only with better English skills, but also with

great new life experiences, new friends and new prospects for their future. We call these messages  “NESE's Love Letters”, and we have published some of them here as a way of saying, “thank-you" to our students for their warm appreciation of NESE, its staff, and its teachers.
