The NESE On-Line System (https://onlineclasses.nese.edu/) NESE On-Line has a unique approach, one that is based on educational research and analysis that the founder (and current president) of NESE On-Line conducted while completing her graduate degree at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education. Her examination of effective learning environments allowed her to create the highly respected NESE, Harvard Square and now, NESE On-Line. Both are programs that are guided by their commitment to excellence, their belief in each student’s ability to succeed, their respect for all peoples, and their understanding that each student presents with a unique learning style, unique goals, and unique challenges, each which must be specifically recognized. In order to accommodate these individual differences, the NESE On-Line system has been designed to offer a choice: interactive self-study lessons, live private classes, and live group classes, as well as a subscription optios, each which complement and reinforce each other in order to maximize language acquisition.
