Robert Ahern
Center Director
I want to welcome you to the most exciting location for studying English in the U.S.A. ELS Boston Cambridge is situated among the best universities in the world. Where else can you walk between two of the most famous learning centers like Harvard University and Mass. Institute of Technology (MIT). These schools send graduates to the higher levels of governments and schools throughout the world. They shape today and tomorrow in every major field. And they have been doing in for centuries. In addition, we are only a few minutes travel to at least 50 more terrific schools of learning. We offer assistance to our students to achieve their dreams, and change the world.
I am the new Center Director here in Boston. My name is Robert Ahern. I am a native of the area, Lexington, Massachusetts; the birthplace of the American Revolution. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in English and Education in Boston. I then went into business, establishing my own businesses in Massachusetts and Florida. I worked for much of my career in business, sold them 8 years ago, and finally came back to my true calling: Education. I received my TESOL Certificate from the School of International Training, VT, in Barcelona, Spain. I taught in Spain, Massachusetts, and Florida for several years. My permanent return to Boston brings me to my new position here.
The team of superb instructors and staff that we have here will help your students succeed in learning English and reaching their personal goals.
Meaghan Casey
International Student Advisor
I am a native to the Boston area, and enjoy showing off my home "town" to visitors, especially students. My love for foreign culture and travel started when I studied in Tours, France during my time at Bucknell University. I went on to teach English at the Elementary School level in a small town in the Poitou-Charentes region of France. I spent the last two years completing a Master's Degree in Intercultural Communications in Baltimore, Maryland. During this time, I also worked in the Study Abroad Office, helping to prepare American students for their studies overseas. I am thrilled to now welcome International Students to the United States, the Boston area, and to ELS. I enjoy seeing students from all different parts of the world in my office each day.
Kelsie Thames
Administrative Assistant
I was brought up here in the city of Boston. I attended Fisher College where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management. I love working here at ELS Boston City because I get the chance to speak with people from all over the world. It is a great place to learn new things about other cultures. There is something really special about the city of Boston. Whether going for a Sunday stroll through the Boston Garden and Common or enjoying the first snow fall of the season along beautiful Beacon Street, it’s really an extraordinary place. This is my home and I welcome you!

I came to Boston on July 21, 2008 from Turkey because I need to improve my English for a PHD program in engineering. I started in level 105 and now have completed level 114. Yes, level 114! There are levels past 112. I really love my classes! The teachers in Boston are so wonderful. They truly try to engage you, making learning English so much fun. The staff works hard to make your experience in Boston special and help you in any way they can. I love ELS Boston. It is the best!
