Our Approach

ILI's foreign language courses are tailored to suit the student's specific needs and goals. We offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced class levels in each language. However, our instructors do not follow a fixed curriculum for each class. Every class is different because every student is different. Our instructors focus on the student's primary objectives in learning the language. Whether the student's aim is to learn survival Spanish before taking a vacation to Buenos Aires, or to learn the proper vocabulary to write a business proposal in Japanese, we can design the course to meet the student's professional, social, or educational needs.

Our Classes

Our courses may be taken as a private tutorial, semi-private tutorial (2 students), or special group course (3-5 students). Because of our approach, students in our semi-private tutorial or special group course must have the same objectives in mind. For example, a group would consist of employees of a same company, embassy, or professional organization.

Location

While most instruction takes place at the Institute on Dupont Circle, it is recognized that circumstances may not permit some students within the Washington, DC area to attend classes at our facilities. Therefore, instruction may be given at the office or home of the student(s). There is a surcharge of $10 per session for instruction within the Beltway and $16 for trips beyond the Beltway.

We are also offer some of our group classes in Gaithersburg, MD.

Schedule

Classes are normally scheduled Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Other schedules may be arranged upon request. Please indicate your desired schedule of instruction on the application form. The schedule of instruction may be changed only with the prior agreement of the Foreign Language Director. Class sessions normally consist of two or more instructional hours of 50 minutes each.

Cancellations & Make up Classes

If a class is cancelled by ILI/Transemantics, Inc., a full refund will be given. Group courses at ILI are non-refundable once the group course has begun.

Private, semi-private and special group classes cancelled by the student(s) (including "no-shows") may be made up only if notice is given by the student(s) to ILI either by phone (202) 686-5610 ext. 105 or by email to ftodd@transemantics.com. The student(s) must call or send an email to cancel at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled class(es) or by noon Friday for any classes scheduled on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. If student fails to cancel on time, full tuition must be paid for the missed class(es).

Semi-private and small group classes must be cancelled by all students enrolled in class. Cancellation by just one student (in a semi-private or special group class) is not accepted and does not release that student from paying for the missed class.

Missed group classes may only be made up if the same level is being offered on another day and the class is not at full capacity.

Once received by the student(s), books and other materials are the property of the student(s). Once distributed, ILI/Transemantics, Inc. does not accept returns and makes no refund for such materials.

Refunds will be issued within 30 days of receipt of written notification from the student. The regular hourly rate will be applied to all attended classes for the purpose of the calculation of the refund amount.
