My experience was really good. I improved my english and confidence with the support of teachers and classmates. I'd like to spend more time here. It was fantastic knowing people to different countries.

When I arrived five months ago, I could not speak English. Now I can talk to everybody, the staff are always available to solve any problems, in particular Mr. Dee always available to help us students. All trips and activities that the school organizes made my experience unforgettable!!!!

Good teachers and good people from everywhere !

I felt very comfortable at school. The teachers are funny and the classes are enjoyable. It is a good school if you are looking to improve your English. You will also have the opportunity to meet great people and have a good time in Toronto.

I spent 2 months at the ACCESS International English Language Centre and I think that both teachers and administrative staff are very professionals. They are a well-prepared team who make you to improve the English language and your knowledge in general. It has been my best experience in an English speaking country.

Tania Rey [Google]

I spent 3 months at ACCESS in Toronto and I had a great time! I met a lot of new friends while improving my English and making incredible experiences. I already miss it a lot! Would definitely recommend :)

Kim Laura [Google]

I really like the school and the teachers. Classes were always fun for me and I really enjoyed going to the Free Friday Activities. Just two little thing: the location is a bit confusing at first as it is located above a dollarama and the AC is always on, so it might be a bit too cold for some people, but it doesn't affect your learning.... All in all a very good school. I had an amazing experience here!

Léa Wienke [Google]

I had a great time at this school. The teachers always made the lessons exciting and the atmosphere within the school was so welcoming that I enjoyed going there every day!!

Acces English est vraiment une bonne école pour apprendre l’anglais. Repartis sur 7 niveaux différents, les professeurs font attention à chaque élèves et à sa bonne integration. Étant une petite école ( une dizaine par classe ) il est beaucoup plus simple et rapide d’améliorer son anglais. Les locaux sont propres et modernes, on s’y sent vraiment bien !! J’y suis restée 3 mois en tant que fille au pair, et je reviendrai avec grand plaisir! (Translated by Google) Acces English is a really good school for learning English. Spread over 7 different levels, the teachers pay attention to each student and their good integration. Being a small school (around ten per class) it is much simpler and quicker to improve your English. The premises are clean and modern, we feel really good there!! I stayed there for 3 months as an au pair, and I will come back with great pleasure!

(Translated by Google) ACCESS is the perfect place to achieve fluent and idiomatic English. The teachers are top quality professionals, dedicated, responsible, motivated, charismatic and fun. The material we work with is excellent and adjusts to the needs of the students. Likewise, the institute authorities helped me resolve the different situations that arose effectively and in a highly professional manner. They will also have the opportunity to meet friends from all over the world and for life, and living with diverse cultures will allow them to be people who are more sensitive to different conceptions and cultural codes. Thanks to the daily workshops and free activities on Fridays, they will be able to use the language in different areas and contexts. As a translator and interpreter, I can say that ACCESS was the best English institute I attended (and I have to say that I studied English at several). Now my English is much more fluent and I can function comfortably when talking about such complex topics as politics, economics, media, migration, education and current affairs. Honestly, ACCESS far exceeded my expectations. Thank you very much for everything to the teaching and non-teaching staff. I will definitely return to continue improving my English. Analia (Argentina) (Original) ACCESS es el lugar perfecto para lograr un inglés fluido e idiomático. Los /as profesores/as son profesionales de primera calidad, dedicados/as, responsables, motivado/as, carismáticos/as y divertidos/as. El material con el que trabajamos es excelente y se ajusta a las necesidades de los/as alumnos/as. Asimismo, las autoridades del instituto me ayudaron a resolver las diferentes situaciones que se presentaban con eficacia y de manera sumamente profesional. También tendrán la oportunidad de conocer amigos/as de todo el mundo y para toda la vida y la convivencia con diversas culturas les permitirá ser personas más sensibles a las distintas concepciones y códigos culturales. Gracias a los talleres diarios y las actividades gratuitas de los viernes podrán utilizar el idioma en diferentes ámbitos y contextos. Como traductora e intérprete, puedo afirmar que ACCESS fue el mejor instituto de inglés al que asistí (y he de decir que cursé inglés en varios). Ahora mi inglés es mucho más fluido y puedo desenvolverme cómodamente al hablar de temas tan complejos como política, economía, medios de comunicación, migración, educación y temas de actualidad. Honestamente, ACCESS superó mis expectativas con creces. Muchísimas gracias por todo al personal docente y no docente. Definitivamente volveré para seguir mejorando mi inglés. Analía (Argentina)

Great experience, everyone was super nice and welcoming. I learned a good amount of English, 5/5 would recommend :)

It was an amazing experience, I had the best and qualified teachers and also classes were very interesting. I'll recommend ACCESS to my friends and family.

Jessica Rafaeli [Google]

I really enjoyed my time here, the family was amazing and the school was very helpful to progress, and the small classes are perfect to feel close to the other students and teachers. I totally recommend this school and the demi-pair program, I had the best time here.
