“A fun mix of cultures, great teachers, and inspiring classmates!”

In the class, there are many people who have different nationalities. During class activities, we talk about our cultures each other and find differences between them. My classmates are so active, and they have inspired me. And also, there are many nationalities, so we can enjoy other culture. Also, the teachers are nice! The teaching styles depend on the teachers but almost all are nice! They are so unique 🙂

“Learn English while exploring cultures and connecting with classmates”

What I like most about the school and lessons is that I am not only able to learn English at the school, but also recognize different cultures such as music, art and something like this in the school activities. In terms of learning English, depending on classes that you have though. The teachers are really unique and International. Personally, I really like discussing something with my classmates. The school has several events a month. So, I would say it was easier to socialize and acclimatize to the school life

“EC Toronto is more than a school—it’s a place to grow!”

My experience at EC in Toronto has been incredible so far ! The teachers are not only friendly but also highly skilled, always finding creative ways to make lessons fun and interactive. I’ve particularly enjoyed how small class sizes allow for more personalized attention and opportunities to practice speaking. One of the best parts of EC is the diverse mix of students from all over the world. This has helped me improve my English while learning about different cultures and perspectives. I would absolutely recommend EC to anyone because it is more than just a school, it is a place to grow, connect, and create unforgettable memories.

“Learning English at EC unlocks a new reality!”

I could learn a lot of topics that I hadn’t learned when I studied English in my country, different kinds of vocabulary and expressions. In addition, listening to different accents of other students from other countries was a big challenge for me, because EC school offers geographically learning.  Of course I would say to my friends what if they want to improve their English skills, they do it at this school. Learning English at EC will give you the opportunity to unblock a new reality and it’s going to be your passport for traveling around the world!
