Zoni Language Centers — Local services in New York

Read complete please 🙏🏼

my experience at Zoni language Center: first let me say that it is not expensive but in terms of quality and price yes, I went to two classes or three and I left because I did not consider the appropriate teaching system, too slow for those of us who want to learn quickly I owe the level of English that I have in just 3 months to the Riverside Language program, which I consider to be one of the best and also free. Everyone who tells me how long I've been studying English and sees my level is amazed. Another problem with Zoni is that when I claimed and asked for a refund for the money that corresponds to me, more than the one that was already left even without having attended, well now they don't want to give it back to me and they make a thousand excuses that are unheard of and that have no logic. , I consider it a not very serious system and if before I did not want to study there, much less now with the bad experiences I have had. I could also argue my reasons... they say they can't give me my money back until I send additional proof that my old card was blocked and I have a new one, who in the entire United States doesn't know that to get a card replaced Because it has been hacked and they send you a new one, the previous one is deactivated? it's illogical. Better that they tell me directly that they don't want to return the money. Very clever administration, don't study there, go to the Riverside Language Program which is even free and is more intensive, the teaching method is more didactic and much...

I don’t recommend this school, the staff are very impolite and disrespectful, there are a pretty bad teachers and the classrooms are small for a huge group of students.

Also there are a lot Spanish speakers, if you are Hispanic you won’t learn enough in this school, this is a cheap and poor school no waste your money and your time.. you should find a better school.

In addition you pay for I20 and you pay for the curse if you visa is refuse they won’t return the money. If I were you I won’t take this risk.

In my case I was enrolled here in this school and I paid for 4 weeks.. presencial classes and they change for online classes and the staff it was rude and they didn’t give any explanation about it..

Don’t let this school take advantage of you and your money.

You don’t have my information perhaps because I was enrolled in this school during the pandemic, even you couldn’t find my carpet with my papers when I went to your school directly in person and I didn’t sign any paper that can proof I was there.

By the way I know my rights, and I’m not damage the image to your school, just I’m being honest and I don’t want other people hasn’t the same troubles that I had with you and also You are so bad that even the teachers sometimes speak Spanish during the classes I experienced it with you when I saw online classes.

And I wouldn’t call this a defamation, only I’m expressing my opinion and you can threat how you did before, canceling my status or talking about deportation this is something that is not unusual in...

They cancelled my vacations. Last week, when I requested my earned vacations (after 12 weeks of study), they told me I did not do it within the timeframe they required, so my vacations were cancelled. Now I have to study 14 more weeks to earn 6 weeks off. I have studied my entire life (high school, college, university, etc.), and I have NEVER had to study 6 months in a row with no breaks like Zoni is making me do. It also worth to mention that i tried to request the vactions during the timeframe they wanted the DSO was on vacations, which made me not get an answer at all. They did not offer any options or alternatives to fix the issue. I went to multiple locations, but they did not help me find a solution. As an F-1 student, this affects me a lot because I have no option but to attend these classes mandatorily. One of the justifications I got was that there were interest conflicts — so between burning out the students and being able to charge for one extra month (of course I will have to pay the school for the month I didn’t get to take my break), they chose the latter. In the orientation, they did mention you are required to request the vacations 2 weeks in advance, but never that it is mandatory to do it in the 10th week, or otherwise you will lose them. They have had several cases like mine, but they are not doing...
