2. Credentialed, Experienced Teachers
Experience has taught
us that the selection and training of qualified teachers must be the first
priority of any language school. That's why at A F International you
are taught by experienced teaching professionals who are authorized for
service by the Bureau for Postsecondary and Vocational Education by the
State of California (BPPVE) - teachers who encourage you and inspire
you to learn.
Our teachers love their
jobs, and our students love their teachers. We strive to ensure that our
students are contributing to the wealth of wisdom that exists in diversity.
In our classrooms, both teachers and students learn from each other on a
daily basis, and both leave the experience with a broadened perspective.

Evaluations
We are small enough that
every student matters. We take our students' wishes and concerns to heart
and go out of our way to help. Our teachers ensure that you stay on track
by discussing learning objectives with you and regularly reviewing your
progress.
Students evaluate their teachers once a month, and
all teachers are observed formally by the school director at regular interval
to ensure compliance with the school objective.

4. English Only
When you learn English
at A F International, you improve your language skills and, at the same
time, make friends from all over the world! Together you form an exciting,
international community in which you learn, explore, have fun and speak
English day in, day out. It's an unforgettable way to experience American
culture--and without any doubt, it's the fastest way to learn English!
In addition to adopting an English Only Policy, we
utilize teaching aides of all kinds, such as visual aides in the form of
pictures, technological aides such as computers and VCRs, music, role-playing,
and most importantly, risk-taking.

6. Inviting atmosphere
To acquire a language, one has to take risks and
make mistakes. We not only model risk-taking, but encourage it. Our classroom
atmosphere is inviting, encouraging, and comfortable to our students.It
is for these reasons that our classrooms soon become home for our students,
and that students want to keep in contact with our teachers for years after
they attended A F International.
