Spoken English Courses in Pune by ELTIS

ELTIS was the first institute started by Dr. S. B. Mujumdar, Founder and President of Symbiosis.  It was started to help the International Students acquire a good command of the English  language, so as to facilitate their higher education through English medium. From a modest  beginning in 2 small rooms with 2 teachers, it has now grown to the stature of one of the best  language schools of India. It is today a proud department of Symbiosis International (Deemed  University) (SIU) re-accredited with “A++” grade by NAAC (National Assessment and  Accreditation Council). It imparts English Language training to 5500+ Indian students every  year. International students learn English as a full-time foundation course with us. We have had  students of 54 nationalities : Afghanistan, Angola, Brazil, Bahrain, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Burundi,  Czech Republic, China, Congo, Cameroon, Chad, DR Congo, Colombia, Djibouti, Dubai, Egypt,  Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Japan, Jordan,  Korea, Lebanon, Libya, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nigeria, Nepal, Niger, Oman, Peru,  Palestine, Qatar, Russia, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Tanzania, Tunisia,  Turkmenistan, UAE, Uzbekistan, Vietnam & Yemen.
