Location: Mentor Language Institute is in the neighbourhood of Westwood, to the westside of Los Angeles. It is the home of UCLA and therefore has a young student population with many shops, restaurants and safe places to hang out. The school is located across from the Hammer Museum, which is a world-famous art museum and cultural centre. Less than a 3-minute walk away is Westwood Village, a historical landmark full of trendy shopping and restaurants.

Getting around: The main mode of transportation in the area is by bus. There are lots of bus stations all over the neighbourhood, with a large hub in the centre. To explore Westwood itself, it is easy to navigate by foot.

Major attractions in Los Angeles: Westwood is close to The Getty, which is a 35-minute bus ride from Mentor Language Institute. Santa Monica is 20 minutes away from the school, and from here students can visit the Santa Monica Beach and the Pier. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is 30 minutes by public transportation.

Course structure: Mentor Language Institute Westwood has general classes for English as a second language, exam preparation courses for the TOEFL and IELTS exams and a specific programme to concentrate on the general use of the English language for conversation. The general course can be combined with extra classes such as a TOEFL exam course or a conversation course.

“Classes were fun and you did not feel like a school... You can meet many nice students who mostly came from Japan and Spain.”
Details of the review
Other comments: Dormitories were in a very bad condition. In my shower the water did not drain and the toilet worked only partly. Two of my room mates were moved from their 2-bedrooms to a 4-bedroom, even though they did not want it. I have the impression that the poorer your level of English is the worse they treat you...

The dormitories are not luxurious but they are very well located and you can practice a lot of English with your flatmates.”

Additional comment about facilities of school
Mentor Language Institute is located in the heart of Westwood. It is located at the intersection of Westwood Blvd. and Wilshire Blvd. Westwood is famous for being the location of UCLA, the #1 ranked public university. Walking distance from our campus is Westwood Village, an area filled with trendy shops, restaurants and recreational facilities such as parks, museums and movie theaters. Directly in front of the campus, students can take the Wilshire transit line. Take the bus 10 minutes West, and you will arrive in beautiful Santa Monica.
