Learn English
We understand that students want to learn English they will actually use. Keeping this in mind, we created a curriculum that reflects real life. Our students learn everyday English and enjoy programs tailored to their needs. However, this is not all. Our students also experience new cultures, develop points of view, and make friends from all over the world. This is why Zoni Language Centers is one of the best English schools in New York and New Jersey.
Zoni Language Centers was founded by Zoilo C. Nieto in 1991. Zoni is an English school with campuses in the United States, New York: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Jackson Heights, Flushing, Hempstead and New Jersey: West New York, Elizabeth, Passaic, Newark and Palisades Park and Florida: Miami and its partner schools in the UK and Canada. In total, we have 14 language centers in amazing destinations. At Zoni, we offer a range of Intensive English Programs and standard English courses including practical, everyday English. Regardless of your English level, we have a class for you.
Since 1991, hundreds of thousands of students have studied English at Zoni. Our goal is to help you master writing, reading, speaking, listening and English that you can and will use every single day. To achieve this, we use a variety of teaching methods. In addition, all of our teachers are college-educated and experienced and no Zoni teacher is allowed to teach without a TESOL certificate (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) or a bachelor’s degree.
