Part-Time English Classes Built Around Your Schedule

If you work a full-time job, run a household, or balance studies in another field, a traditional full-time program isn’t always realistic. ISAL’s part-time English course gives you the structure of a serious ESL program with the flexibility you actually need, choose where you study, choose a class time that works for you, and get to work.

You can learn English in Boston at our campus if you prefer the energy of a real classroom, or join the same program online from anywhere in the world. Both formats are taught by experienced native-speaking instructors and follow the same rigorous ISAL curriculum, no watered-down version of the program just because you’re part-time.

What Makes ISAL’s Part-Time English Classes Different?

A lot of ESL courses online give you a recorded video and call it a class. A lot of English schools in Boston pack 30 students into a lecture hall. ISAL does neither. Our part-time English classes, in person in Boston or online, are small-group, interactive, and taught by real teachers, so every student speaks every session and gets feedback that actually moves the needle.

Our students are busy. Some are nurses on rotating shifts. Some are parents during the day. Some are professionals working with international teams across multiple time zones. Some live a 15-minute walk from our Boston campus and just want a classroom they can sit down in twice a week. Our part-time format is built for all of them.

You’ll be taught by supportive, experienced, native-speaking instructors who specialize in adult learners. Whether you’re prepping for work, immigration, university, or everyday life in the US, the lesson is tailored to what you actually need to say in English.

A Real Part-Time English Course, Not Just a Few Videos

Our part-time English classes cover speaking, listening, reading, writing, and grammar, with a clear focus on real-world English. You’ll practice the conversations, emails, calls, and interviews you actually have to handle, not just textbook drills.

The curriculum mirrors the quality and intensity of our full-time program, just spread across a part-time schedule. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, a job, university applications, or everyday life in an English-speaking environment, you’ll leave each class with something you can use the same day, in the classroom in Boston or on Zoom at home.

Learn English in Boston, In Person at the ISAL Campus

If you live in or near the city, you can learn English in Boston at our local campus. Our in-person English classes in Boston are taught by the same native-speaking instructors who run our online program, small groups, real conversation, and the kind of focused environment you only get in a real classroom.

Compared with bigger English schools in Boston, ISAL keeps class sizes intentionally small. That means more speaking time per student, more individual feedback, and a teacher who actually remembers your name, your goals, and the specific things you’re working on.

You’ll choose the time of day that fits your life, morning, afternoon, or evening, and meet twice a week for two hours per class. Same 12-week curriculum, same $50/week tuition, same first-class-free offer as our online program.

In the Heart of Boston

Easy to reach by public transport, with a calm, focused classroom set up for adult learners.

Real Classroom Energy

Easy to Switch Formats

Travel for work or move? Switch between in-person Boston classes and online sessions when you need to.

Morning, Afternoon & Evening English Classes

Pick the time of day that fits your life. Our part-time English classes meet two times per week for two hours per session, in-person at our Boston campus or online, with options in the morning, afternoon, and evening so students on different shift patterns and in different time zones can all find a seat.

If you work a 9–5, evening English classes after dinner are a popular pick. If you’re a night-shift worker or a stay-at-home parent, our morning English classes free up the rest of your day. Joining online from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, or South America? Choose the slot that lines up with your local time zone.

Tuition is $50 per week, and when you register today you’ll get your first class free, plus continuous support throughout the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a part-time English course at ISAL?
Our part-time English course is a 12-week program with 2 classes per week, 2 hours each. You can take it in person at our Boston campus or online. It’s designed for students who can’t commit to a full-time schedule but still want serious, structured progress in their English.
Can I learn English in Boston with ISAL in person?
Yes. We run in-person English classes in Boston at our campus, with morning, afternoon, and evening options. If you’re comparing English schools in Boston, ours stands out for its small class sizes, native-speaking teachers, and focus on real-world speaking, not just textbook drills.
Are these morning, afternoon, or evening English classes?
All three. We run morning English classes, afternoon English classes, and evening English classes so students working different shifts, or living in different time zones, can find a slot that works. You choose the time of day when you enroll.
Can I take ESL classes online from outside the US?
Yes. Our ESL online classes can be joined from anywhere in the world. Just pick the class time that matches your local time zone, many of our students study with us from Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Can I switch between in-person classes in Boston and online classes?
In most cases, yes. If you start in person at our Boston campus and then need to travel, or you start online and move to Boston, talk to your advisor, we’ll do our best to move you between formats without losing progress.
How is this different from free ESL courses online?
Free ESL courses online usually mean watching videos alone with no feedback. ISAL’s part-time English classes are live, small-group, taught by qualified native-speaking teachers, and include personal feedback, homework, and clear progress milestones, online or in person in Boston.
What technology do I need for ESL online classes?
A laptop or tablet, Zoom (free), Google Classroom (free), and a reliable internet connection. A headset with a microphone helps you sound clearer when you’re speaking in class.
How fast will my English improve in a part-time program?
If you attend your part-time English classes consistently and complete your homework, most students see clear improvement within about 3 months, especially in speaking confidence and everyday comprehension. If you need to move faster, check out our Intensive English Program.
Can I switch class times if my schedule changes?
Often yes. If your work schedule or time zone changes, contact your advisor and we’ll do our best to move you into a morning, afternoon, or evening class that still fits.
Do you offer one-on-one part-time English lessons?
Yes. If you’d prefer fully private instruction instead of a small group, we offer one-on-one ESL tutoring either in person at our Boston campus or online. Contact us for one-on-one pricing and scheduling.
Do you offer English for specific careers, like nursing or business?
Yes. Alongside our general English classes we run Business English for working professionals and an Allied Health English program for nurses, caregivers, and other healthcare workers who need career-specific vocabulary.
Can ISAL help me prepare for the TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test?
Yes. We run dedicated test preparation courses for the TOEFL, IELTS, and Duolingo English Test, with structured practice, mock exams, and feedback from teachers who know each test inside out.
