Introduction

Most semi-intensive schools in San Francisco charge between $400 to $1,000 a month for about 16 hours of classes per week. At the typical English school, the teacher will use an eclectic mix of grammar analysis and textbook-based explanations. As an independent learner, you can do very well spending only $100 a month, and can succeed paying half that much. For $48, you could learn English with the linguist.
