Access is the perfect place if you're looking to learn or improve your English.The environment is international, and you get the chance to meet people from all over the world. Moreover, the teachers are great, their passion is clear, and they put a lot of effort into encouraging students to do their best and express their opinions without feeling judged. The lessons are engaging and go way beyond just reading a textbook out loud. I'm so grateful to have attended such a wonderful school, it made my stay in Canada a hundred times better.

I’ve been there in 2022, and it was an incredible experience. I could meet people from all around the world. And I’m still in contact with some of them. My experience there was perfect. I wouldn’t change something if I would do it again. The teachers were really nice, helpful, good at teaching. And if they were problems, the school would always help and give some guidance. A really good memory and I totally recommend to get there ! Thanks a lot for everything.

I highly recommend this school! It's amazing! I love how Liah and Darren teach the classes. They are awesome teachers. They love to teach. They have a great vocation for teaching. They have a lot of patience, and they always have a great smile. Darren is a 10 teacher, he always has a smile on his face, and he always teaches us with a lot of energy and positivity. Also, Liah is a teacher of 10. She is a very sweet teacher, and she always worries about us understanding everything. I have learned a lot with them. They have taught me a lot, and most importantly they have helped me to lose my fear of speaking English. Darren and Liah have given me a lot of confidence to speak English. They are the best. This school is a great family. They have become my home. How lucky I am to have met Liah and Darren, I will miss them very much. If you are looking for an English school to learn English and feel at home, this is the school for you!!!

Positive aspects of school: Teachers are very kind

Other: Great teachers, very well-organized school, excellent leisure activities (for only a few extra dollars), very good location, free internet access. I can really recommend this school! Booking over 'languagecourse' in Germany can also be recommended - easy, nice contact, no problems. Visiting this school during the wintertime might be better for improving your English because of smaller classes.

Tips: If you want to learn an international language, then this is the best place for you. And the most important thing is you can also learn different topics here, and there are also free activities for you, and you can travel to most of the popular places in Canada from the school, and it’s also cheap, and if you need any help you should contact with Mr. Dee. So what are you waiting for...? Just go for it...!!!

Other: The school is very well placed, in full center. The school is small enough for what the environment is family, there are sufficient activities, but not too many. 

Beatriz (Spanish) [languagecourse.net]

Positive aspects of school: I made a good choice by going to Access. Teachers are professional and want to make sure you reach a good level of knowledge.
