Self Study

Classes with Harvard professors

Take your English to the next level

We understand that many people have little free time to study beyond what they are already doing, which is why we offer the Online Self-Study system. It allows you to follow the same award-winning classes as Harvard Square students, with live classes tailored to your availability. You can study at any pace you like, like devoting 2 hours to English one day and just 20 minutes the next, it's all up to you.

Get the best education wherever you are

While the learning experience in a traditional classroom is unique, we strive to recreate that magic as closely as possible with our online Self Study program. While it’s not exactly the same thing, we believe that with all our work and preparation, we’ve come as close as possible to recreating the magic of the traditional classroom.

All other subscriptions include additional live classes, which have been designed to compliment and reinforce your studies: Subscription B includes 4 live group classes per month. Subscription C includes 4 live private classes per month, and Subscription D includes both 4 live group classes and 4 live private classes each month. With all subscription levels, you can purchase as many additional live private or group classes as you wish, and you will receive a 5% discount!

All teachers are current or former teachers from renowned schools. They all have years of teaching experience and most of them (80%) hold degrees from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Before starting the On-Line Self-Study System, you will take a placement test. Your test results will indicate the best level for you to start your studies at, and that level will be your starting point. However, if you find a particular grammar point (or points) difficult, you can simply use the search tool to watch lower-level videos of the specific grammar point – as many times as you like.

Yes. You will receive a certificate when you have successfully completed each level.

I highly recommend this company, serious and reliable. It was certainly the best investment I've made in the United States since I arrived. They help me with all the doubts and setbacks with my change of status. At all times I was attended to with great attention, they are wonderful, attentive and super patient people, always very willing to help. My grade is 10!!!

Much more than an advisory, a look at the United States for those who wanted to study here. Excellent service and attention to every question. TESS goes far beyond its services, it is a friend we can trust. I did my process with them and when I got to school, nothing was missing. Just do the protocol. Highly recommend.

I need to express here my gratitude to this agency! My case was already too high to be resolved, I got in touch and spoke with one of the people who work there, who by the way is still there today. My process is already forwarding and I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to change their status and stay legally here in the USA. Thanks Tess.

I am so glad to have met Tess and Ron! I have lived in America for two years. When I first met them, they were not my guardians, but they were my best friend’s host family. Before I switched to their agency (TESSUSA) I was under a lot of stress from my previous guardian. Ron and Tess saved me!

I am an international student from Korea, studying abroad by myself since my sophomore year in high school, and I have a family here in the United States. We might not be related by blood, but we have an even stronger bond: love and caring. Cheesy as it sounds, those two words are the first to come into my mind when I think of Tess and Ron, the CEO and COO of T.E.S.S. Inc.

Thanks to TESS USA for all the help and dedication, especially Kenya who was super attentive and spared no effort in helping me find a school in record time, as my transfer deadline was coming to an end and, if it weren't for Kenya's help , I would have lost everything I had conquered… Thank you very much to you!!"

In 2012 I went to Boston for two weeks thanks to TESS USA Inc. Even though it was not a long time it clearly has been one of the best adventure of my life. I improved my English and I met incredible people from all over the world.

I highly recommend! We're in Florida and TESS is in Massachusetts! I made my change of status with Kenya and Tess, every process was admitted first through immigration. He always kept me well informed of how and when we should prepare the forms.

Whom It May Concern My name is Adonis Bachara from Syria. I am eighteen, and I finished high school in 2012. I always dreamed about studying in the United States of America. Oneday, my aunt Elizabeth called me at my house and said that she has talked to a friend of her that could help me get accepted in Worcester State University. I was thrilled and excited about it, and told her to start working on this matter right away.

I met Tess Reisler through a friend of mine and she was extremely helpful from the very first conversation; I knew that I was dealing with good people and with a serious and responsible company. They helped me to find a prep school that would consider me that would allow me to play soccer and to study.

I have been to the USA two times. One was in winter and the other one was in summer. Every time it was a great experience. I lived in Tess and Ron’s family each time, and it was a really enjoyable moment. Before my trip, I have chosen to go to the USA to improve my English but my trip was much more. I learnt so much about American life, history and culture.

Vincent Meng

I still remember the sweet house, tasty foods, cute animals and hospitable family members… From Tess’s house I learned what American family is like. At the beginning, I was homesick, but with the care of Tess’s family, I actually got used to the new environment very soon.

My brother decided to take a trip to the United States and soon realized the need to study English to communicate better. He found TESS to be his agent and since then it has only reaped good results. Always well oriented, today he has a student visa and is already enrolled in a school. He starts studying next week and according to his reports, I will always recommend TESS to anyone who asks me. A big hug and thank you for helping my brother to fulfill this great dream.

Thanks to Ron, I improved my English beyond expectations and after staying with them I had but one wish: live abroad! I’m 23 now and about to start a PhD where I’ll have to split my time between Canada and France.

TESS was the best student visa consultancy firm I have ever hired. The work carried out by the company was exceptional. All in an agile way, conveying complete security and confidence. I recommend it to everyone.

It was a kind and thoughtful gesture, that showed me how much TESS cared. TESS USA INC. Embraced me, nurtured me, and believed in me. That made all the difference in how I have experienced exchange. The time passed and the idea of living in the USA for six month was not terrifying anymore, as it was in the beginning. I lived with an amazing host family, that welcomed me as I was part of their own family.
