About Merrivale

Teachers Who Learned A Language Too

Merrivale started seven years ago in a single classroom on Cypresswood Avenue. Most of our teachers grew up speaking another language at home — Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole — so they know what it feels like to think of the word too late.

Classes are small, mistakes are welcome, and every lesson is about English you will use this week.

Citizenship

Interview Practice

The naturalization interview includes an English speaking, reading and writing test. Our four-lesson course practices all three with the kinds of questions and sentences you can expect, so the day feels familiar.

We teach English, not immigration law. For questions about your application, please talk to an immigration attorney or an accredited representative.

  • ✓Speaking practice, question by question
  • ✓Reading and writing sentences
  • ✓Four private or small-group lessons

Can I take classes online?

Yes. Any class or private lesson can be online by video call, at the same price.
