Boston International Academy

Studying at Harvard Square Academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made since moving to Boston. Having the opportunity to learn with Professor John, who is incredibly experienced and truly committed to each student’s progress, made a huge difference in my English journey. The school also gave me the chance to meet amazing Brazilian students, as well as people from countries like Korea and Italy, which turned every day into a rich cultural exchange. The environment feels welcoming, diverse, and motivating. One of the biggest highlights for me is the personalized TOEFL preparation. Each day is focused on a specific skill — reading, listening, speaking, or writing — and the materials provided are complete, practical, and easy to follow. It helped me build confidence much faster. Another point that makes the school stand out is its flexibility. They offer morning and afternoon classes, and there is even the possibility of future online classes depending on demand — perfect for students who need a more adaptable schedule without losing quality. The school also offers a special tuition rate for au pairs, similar to a scholarship, which makes it much more accessible for those living on a tighter budget while still wanting high-quality, in-person education. And of course, studying right in the heart of Boston, just steps away from MIT and Harvard, makes the experience even more inspiring. If you’re looking for a school that combines quality, accessibility, cultural exchange, and a supportive environment, Harvard Square Academy is absolutely worth it.

Great TOEFL course! I’m really proud of the results I’ve achieved 🎉 Huge thanks to Professor John for his amazing classes! They were always fun, clear and full of super useful tips. My English was already strong, but I hadn’t really practiced academic English before. His classes helped me improve in all areas (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), and now I feel my English is much more complete and confident. If you’re getting ready for the TOEFL, I totally recommend this course. It’s absolutely worth it! ✅

I took the ESL class (3 credits) as an Au Pair and I loved it. Anthony was my teacher and gave me many tools to communicate in English I also made friends and from different countries! It was great to share our cultures🥰 The classes were super entertaining and I liked that we all participated in reading, asking questions and listening. It was challenging but in a good way! Without a doubt it is a class that I would recommend to my circle of friends or people who are interested in doing it
