South Beach Languages

In 2003, we started SBL in Miami Beach with 1 room and 1 student.
His name was Mauricio. He needed to practice English conversation for a job interview at a hotel in Miami Beach. I offered him a coffee and peppered him with questions.

He called later saying ‘I got the job’! We have taught thousands of students in the 20 years since Mauricio, but it has always been our mission to focus on individual student’s needs. Join us and let SBL be your ‘home away from home’! Greg D.
