(Translated by Google) Excellent service. I loved it. I met many people from many parts of the world and the trips that take place on Fridays are very fun. I did not know much English, but I understood and learned a lot and the classes are very fun and everyone is very understanding. And if you need help with something, they help you. It's beautiful. I loved it and I would like to go again.

A really good "cozy" school. I stayed in Access during almost 4 months and the teachers are very nice. They shared with us some good tips to discover Toronto and the surroundings. My English was very bad when I arrived but now I'm not afraid to talk with other people anymore (even if my English is not perfect...) ! I recommend you ;)

Je recommande vivement les cours à Accès English! J’y aie passé trois mois et mon anglais c’est vachement amélioré. Il y a plusieurs niveaux qui va de 1 à 7-8 et cela permet de se retrouver dans des petites classes. Cette avantage permet d’évoluer plus vite et de poser plus de questions. Les professeurs sont incroyables! Ils sont attentifs et chaleureux. On se sent toute de suite à sa place dans cette école. De même que les autres élèves. De plus, les cours sont bien organisés, on touche à tous les domaines (compréhension oral, grammaire,…) Je conseille de rester au mieux 5 mois pour bien s’améliorer mais si vous rester que trois mois comme moi, vous verrez quand même votre anglais s’améliorer :) Foncez et prenez des cours à Access English. !!! (Translated by Google) I highly recommend classes at Accès English! I spent three months there, and my English improved tremendously. There are several levels, ranging from 1 to 7-8, which allows for smaller classes. This advantage allows you to progress faster and ask more questions. The teachers are incredible! They are attentive and friendly. You immediately feel at home at this school, as do the other students. In addition, the classes are well organized; they cover all areas (listening comprehension, grammar, etc.). I recommend staying at most five months to really improve, but if you only stay three months like me, you'll still see your English improve :) Go ahead and take classes at Access English!

I would recommend the school because there is a lot of different nationalities (mostly Germans and Japanese, then from Europe, Mexico,…). The teachers are really good and they do everything to help us to improve our English. We have some free activities on Friday that help us to meet people and visit the city.

Teachers are very good! The lessons are fun and you can also talk a lot with the teacher and you are still learning.

I had attended this school last year from April for 4 months. A few teachers were great cuz they tried to explain grammar specifically. However, unfortunately some of teachers couldn’t explain about grammar. They excused that they were native speaker, so they said I didn’t have to think too much about it. That is ridiculous. Everyone who want to attend such a language school are willing to learn English grammatically and logically. I learned just because teachers are native speakers, it doesn’t mean they are good at teaching. I hope the circumstances are better.
