What our students say about EC Toronto 30+

“My experience at EC Toronto was amazing!”

I really had a great experience on EC Toronto! Since the beginning before I arrived in Toronto, the school gave all the information I needed to know about the first day, classes and tests. The classes are a complete experience! The teachers are very knowledgeable, patient and kind. I felt very comfortable about the learning process, and I could see that they are very prepared to receive students from different countries. Everybody was very helpful. I was able to compare my experience with some colleagues who had studied at other schools and definitely I had the best one! I certainly recommend EC for anyone who wants to learn English!

Pâmela, Brazil

“30+ is ideal for connecting with like-minded people!”

What I liked the most about the course were the lessons, which focused on improving my English conversation skills through engaging topics with classmates. The teachers were very kind, always willing to help, and provided helpful recommendations for activities in the city. Having different teachers throughout the week was enriching, as each one brought a unique approach that contributed to my learning experience. I recommend this English course because it offers flexibility, and the 30+ is ideal for connecting with like-minded people”
