Our People

Meet Our People
Welcome to the English Language Institute people directory. The majority of administrators at the English Language Institute hold master’s and/or doctoral degrees in a variety of areas, from TESOL to Business Administration and more.
All have extensive experience working with international students, living overseas, and/or recruiting abroad.
All of our administrators and staff strive to provide the best possible services and assistance for ELI students, from admissions and orientation to the financial office and more.
While aiming to make students feel like they are at a “home away from home” in Newark, we are here to help students in any way that we can.
