Language Training With Native Speakers Many people in the world today want to learn English but dont have access to native English speaking teachers in their own coutries. We created Gala University to help people to improve their English speaking skills and the quality of their lives. Gala University USA is not just a school - it is a community. We are striving to make a world a little bit better then we found it. Since the company was born in 2007, we helped countless individuals around the world to fulfill their dreams by becoming proficient English speakers.

Our teachers is our greatest asset. Gala University is a vibrant community of ESL tutors from many universities and colleges in the US, Canada, and UK.
