Barbara Costa: I come back to Brasil 2 weeks ago and I had the amazing opportunity to study in Ec School. I had a lot of fun, meet a lot of friends around the world that for sure I` ll remember for my whole life. The Team Ec is very helpful and kind , always there to help with whatever you need. I will never forget this experience!!! 3

Isabella Roa: I'm a student ambassador, the experience here with Team Vancouver is great, they help you with everything you need, they are always available to you and your difficulties. If you want to have the best study experience, come to EC Vancouver, I recommend it.

ikaz HD: DES VOLEURS!Pour commencer, les cours ne sont vraiment pas attractifs. Les profs pour la plupart sont âgés (entre 50-60 ans). Premier jour de cour, personne pour vous accueillir, vous devez chercher par vous-même et c'est assez compliqué. Une fois trouvez comment rentrer, personne au bureau principal...Le pire reste à venir. Cette école vos vols 400 CHF de plus par mois pour votre logement, je vous recommande fortement de trouver par vous-mêmes.

井上和恵: コロナ禍で、オンラインと対面式の両方が開催されている時期2021年7月から翌年4月まで滞在しました。日々変わるBC州のコロナ対応に合わせて、柔軟に対応されていると感じました。※最終のクラス　30＋、対面方式のクラスのみ先生方、他の学生さんの中には、もちろん私も人間ですので合わない方もありましたが、その対話の中にも学びはありましたし、良い思い出となっています。・希望により、クラスの移動を柔軟に対応してもらいました。・滞在中に、昔の生徒さんが先生を訪ねて来られたのを目の当たりににして、心が動かされました！私もその同じ先生に出逢う事が出来て、一生の宝物になりました。・2022年4月時点で、当初申し込みの週数より、帰国を早めた所、帰国後のオンライン授業を残りの週分受講できるように手配してもらう事が出来て、その事も有り難かったです。

SA AS: معهد اعتبره من افضل المعاهد ان لم يكن الأفضل من ناحية طاقم التدريس او من ناحية قياس مستوى الطالب و وضعه في المكان المناسب و رسم خطه متكامله لتطويره

morgana almeida: Positive:Professionalism,Quality

しおぴ: 日本人で英語で上手くコミュニケーションできないと、先生に馬鹿にされたような態度を取られる。

handoting: Teacher is really awesome

Isadora Franz Sonda Rocha: Great teachers and staff that really helps you with your questions or problems. The school itself has a really good space and learning environment.

Eduardo: This school is for lazy people who are just there as a pastime. I've been studying there for almost five months and, to be honest, I've been learning more at home and with my friends than at school. Also, some teachers have a strong political opinion, they waste their and our time talking about Trump and political stuff without knowing nothing about. It's not a really bad school at all, you as a student have an amazing online platform to study all day. On the other hand, if you are thinking in paying a lot of money to study there consider the negative points to not get up set when you realize that EC can be a nightmare. Also, I don't recommend "General English" unless if you are in the basic levels. Try to take some lessons as Cambridge or IELTS, I'm sure that is better than the regularly course. But if you can avoid the school completely, there are other schools with better environment without thinking just in your money.I really would like to understand the reasons to be too different between what we see in the class and what we have to answer in the Assessment Test. I can give some detailed examples. In the Assessment Test we have a lot of questions which are completely different from what we are accustomed to seeing in the class. I explain why: in the class we have never seen those kind of questions. I never received an activity with the options TRUE, FALSE, NOT GIVEN whereas in the REAL test the school evaluates you through that methodology. In addiction the reading done in the class displays these kind of answer: e.g.: find in the text the synonym for "bad". "Discuss you with partner about some meanings..." whereas in the REAL test we have a sort of issues that demand a more deeply knowledge that we don't see very often - seldom - in the class. My question is: That situation is purposeful? Why the test is more difficult than our classes? I'm not complaining about the test but about the lazy way that some teachers pursue during the class. I cannot understand how the staff couldn't noticed that big mistake. I lived in a homestay with more 7 students and some of them studied in others schools which gave them a lot of more preparation that EC cannot give us.EC deserves 5 stars only for the marketing.If the staff doesn't know how they can improve the school I will give some tips:1. Listen your customers;2. Create EC book. Do not accept a book that doesn't contain workbook (or give mandatory homework);3. Train the students to the assessment test, give similar activities;4. Evaluate better the teacher, certificate the classes more properly;5. Then, fire lazy teachers;6. Fix the machine, it stucks our money (food machine);7. Make possible changing students during the week. More effectively process without a lot of burocracy for everything;8. Try to imitate the best of others schools which have their own books (e.g.: preparation to CAE in the general English), parties for teenagers, best environment and special events.9. Improve the General English. Demand more from students. We cannot learn English with such bad classes.10. See the students as customers who paid a lot of money with the expectation that EC would be the best school ever.

rocky k: Some of teachers good n some not... They dont expline The grammer.. They just read it and for homestay in case if u dont like it they will change it after A while they are not cooperative with student in homestay... They just want to take money... I will not go there again

Renan Lacalendola: The best school for learn and improve your English!

장규미: Love here

Dina Charaf Eddine Nasser: 👍🏻

Nicolas Hartstein: Otima escola com pequenos problemas

Ba R: I've been studying at EC by a month and it's amazing! The location is good, close to Graville Station, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, 7Eleven, A&W and a pub. The staffs are friendly and the place is clean. Most of the students are brazilians, koreans, swiss, japaneses and colombians.The Wi-Fi is a little bit slow but it's fine. If I go to another place that has EC as a school to study, I'll chose it again!

Simon: Easy said..great school, great people! An amazing experience that everyone should have done at least once. I will always keep it in good memory and recommend it to everyone.

Gag Gag: I had been in this school for well over a year.Honestly, avoid it. Staff are very un friendly towards students (always unhappy). They are after your money and nothing else!If you ate sick they don't care. They don't even accept (medical excuses). I was sick for a week and they refused to accept my doctors note and left me in a trouble with the government.I wrote this review after having been in another english school in town and i saw the difference.

Diana Bruns: Thank you so much Berlitz! Since the first time I contacted Berlitz Vancouver every single staff member I have met, has been kind and very welcoming. I was able to improve my english skills and every lesson with Harry was perfect for me.

佐藤正: これはあくまで自分の経験談なので。改善されている事を願う。以前に通ったことがあるけど、自分にとっては全く良くなかった。失敗だった。午後の授業はフレンズ観るだけで終わりとか、午前の授業でもまともな先生もいたけど、下ネタばかりの先生がいたりとか。通っている生徒数も少なく、クラスメイトも日本人だらけで日本で英会話学校通ってるのと変わらない。日本人スタッフがいて、英語で話せと言われたから出来無いなりに英語で話したら（出来無くて勉強したいから通ってるのに）英語を話せないことを馬鹿にされた。授業料が他校よりも高くその中に全て含まれていると説明されたのに、レベルが上がる毎にテキストを買わなければならないと進級の時に言われた。日本人スタッフに聞いてないと言ったら、説明したと嘘つかれた…つまらなすぎて午後の授業だけでもキャンセルしたかったけど、返金してもらえないので渋々我慢して通っていたが、今考えるとお金は無駄になるけど午後の授業だけでも切り捨てれば良かった。本当お金と時間を返して欲しい。日本で一生懸命働いて貯めたお金なのに。別の学校も見学に行っていたのでそっちにしとけば良かったと本気で激しく後悔した。カナダでの最悪な思い出の一つ

Sahiba Samlok: Berlitz classes, staff and material, everything is just wonderful. I really enjoyed my time here. 😊👌

Clarenz Mabalay: such a great place it is. I will never forget my time here 3

Patricia Chalom: My English lessons with Berlitz were very helpful. I was able to get more confidence and also learned many new expressions I'm using now in my daily conversations.

Claudio Bex: I had a great time learning French with Berlitz. I just needed a basic conversation course and I decided to join the online lessons. Since the classes are very small (there was only me and 2 other students), I was able to get full attention from my instructor and practiced a lot.

Patricia Gewandsznajder: I had English lessons at Berlitz to improve my conversation skills. The method was tailored to my needs and I was able to improve a lot in a short period of time.

Katie Dongkwon: Unprofessional and overprice

Guillaume Boisset: Positive:Professionalism,QualityBerlitz Vancouver was very professional and flexible. We took a Chinese Mandarin course for many months and the teacher Maylin was very helpful and patient. Very good experience.

Deanna Lepke: Very happy with my experience here.

Mônica Larice Carrom Lage: Since the first time I contacted Berlitz Vancouver every single staff member I have met, has been kind and very welcoming. I've felt very good taking my lessons (online) with my teacher Roberto, he's so good and funny guy, always already to help me, I've been learning so much with him. I couldn't be happier with my choice of choosing Berlitz.

Omid Pejman: It's an absolute star and highly recommended because They have friendly and helpful staff. On top of that, My teacher, Gelen was patient and committed to supporting me.

Daria Capostagno: Positive:Professionalism,QualityI am taking an online course and, so far, I have really enjoyed every bit of it! Teachers and staff are very friendly and professional. The material is always relevant and useful and resources really help the learning experience. Way to go!

Audrey Arellano: Positive:ProfessionalismStill finishing my first 40 lessons and I've learned SO MUCH already. The staff is very helpful and communicative. My German teacher Joerg is amazing and goes above and beyond. It has been very easy and wonderful learning with Berlitz Vancouver. I highly recommend attending this school!

morvarid amani: I took the online course for about 6 weeks. My teacher was amazing, and I loved my sessions with her, although I'm very upset with the person who was supposed to organize the classes. After asking her to send me my schedule few days in advanced, she was still always very late with the the timing of announcing my schedule. and she didn't even let me know that my package was finished. I had few more courses in that package and she didn't ask me if I would like to continue and save the package or not. Very very unsatisfied with her!

audrey leung: Positive:Professionalism,QualityThe teachers and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Classes are small which cater to your learning style and go at a pace where you're comfortable. I got a lot out of the short amount of time I studied here; worth the investment!

Mel B: Positive:QualityI studied Portuguese with Berlitz Vancouver via individual classes online. The teachers were tailoring the classes according to my needs and the communication for scheduling purposes was quite efficient. I recommend!

Petuu: I took private french lessons 2 times a week, for about a month. They were definitely what I expected. Lessons adapted to my needs, teachers were natives, I could choose a schedule that fitted my routine, and overall, the experience of studying at Berlitz was really good.

Nastassia Machaj: The teaching technique at Berlitz is truly the best way to challenge yourself to a new language and really forces you to focus and learn. Beyond that, every single staff member I have met at Berlitz has been incredibly kind, gracious, and welcoming. I couldn't be happier with my choice of choosing Berlitz.

Harman Singh: Great place for learning high class, top notch English - Especially in the context of writing skills. The instructor is just on point with making me understand what makes writing English great. Moreover, Task achievement, coherence and grammatical accuracy is what this institute is really master of and really understand in depth( not the same case for other English schools available in Vancouver ). I highly recommend them. I studied at their Vancouver location.

silveryfeather208: Good professional service. However, I feel the teaching pace is way to slow..I don't think it is worth it. If you are a slow learner maybe it's for you..But I feel you are better off taking it at a university if you can. Or even learn from youtube. I took a group lesson and I would also rather just pay more for a better lesson.

JiaYan Xie: Unfortunately, the student's level was low, so it was boring and meaningless for me. Thank you for providing me with the tedious lessons.

Giselle Heydari: 5 stars for the Mandarine class0 stars for the Farsi classI took mandarine lessons at this school and it was absolutely awesome. So when I married my husband who didn't speak my mother tongue, Farsi, and was very interested to learn the language, I recommended International house. Unfortunately the teacher he had was absolutely terrible, as in more than half the class quit half way through the session. The teacher was extremely strict and mean, as if he is training navy seals. He was teaching them sophisticated details that you are not supposed to learn until you have the basic things covered, which he did not. In general, my husband started the classes with so much enthusiasm and after 4 months, he was just done. Although my husband was extremely unlucky with his instructor, I hear there is another Farsi teacher there that is apparently amazing.

Umer Arain: Nice

Sammy Dee: So friendly and helpful, absolutely love the new place.

bryan williams: Wasting time and money for Canadians and permanent residents! TESL, CELTA and TESOL classes are awful with a variety of problems. Some instructors hide their illiteracy behind their snobbish, aggressive behavior. They offer their best services to international students. They merely work for money. They just care abut business more than anything else. Some staffs including administrative and teachers are so rude although you may find few of them cool.

A C: Took a korean class here and had the best learning experience ever! The instructor was very friendly and I was able to pick up the language in just a week. I was very surprised at myself.Highly recommended if you want to take up a new language. Definitely the best language school in vancouver!

Wonderful Ida: International House Vancouver is a great place for International Students to visit to study English, or Vancouver locals to learn a new language. The staff are friendly and informative, and the teachers making learning fun. I would highly recommend studying at IH!

Pablo Ramirez: Escuela de idiomas con instalaciones agradables y personal atento para atender al cliente.

Jung Hoon Lee: Very nice.

Roberto Jack: Excelente escola de idiomas, fornece aulas gratuitas todos os dias das 13:30 - 15:30

Viviane Falkembach: It`s the perfect place to learn English! Definily the best school in Vancouver!!!

Fumi: I studied at this school three times. The school is filled with love, smile and enthusiasm…Absolutely, it is the one of my favorite schools.Usually, each class has about 10-15 students depending on season. We can ask teachers any questions either in class or after class. Teachers are very nice, we feel stress-free when we are asking questions. The teachers use games, music, dramas and news as ways to improve our English, which makes the learning process full of fun and enjoyment. Thanks to them, I've come to love English. So, I keep studying English even after I came back to my country.Also, I met many wonderful friends here and they made my life full of joy and happiness. I still keep in touch with them.I can’t imagine my life without coming here.If you want to study English while having fun and meet amazing teachers, staff and friends, I highly recommend to come to LAB Vancouver!

Ronan Michel: They have great teachers, and a great structure

Nataly Becerra: Studying in LAB was an amazing experience!!! I studied english for 3 months and I only have good memories of my time there. The teachers are so capable, so gentle and really nice. The administrative team was always there to help me when I needed it and they are so cool as well. The lessons are interesting. The activities on Fridays are great! It gave me the opportunity to know more of Vancouver, interact with other students and practice my english outside of the class. The whole environment makes for a unique experience for the students. I would recommend it 1000%!

Armando Preciado: Tuve la oportunidad de estudiar tres semanas en LAB Vancouver y fue una experiencia completamente satisfactoria. Excelentes maestros, muy buen ambiente escolar y las actividades son muy entrenadas. Definitivamente recomiendo la escuela

Nishman Alemán: Llevo dos meses y medio estudiando aquí, realmente me encanta, todos los maestros son súper buenos y amables, el personal siempre está dispuesto a ayudarte en cualquier duda que tengas, haces amigos de muchas partes del mundo, te diviertes mucho y al mismo tiempo aprendes, la experiencia de estudiar aquí es de lo mejor. Recomiendo mucho esta escuela

Masa B: I had great time at this school. Every teacher was kind and taught me a lot of things in classes. I could improve my English skills through taking various kinds of classes. If you want satisfying activities, this school will be the best choice. I will never regret having chosen this school!

Raquel Nolasco: Si estás buscando una escuela para aprender Inglés esta es la opción, ya que los profesores son muy Profesionales y hacen las clases muy dinámicas, a parte tienes actividades extracurriculares y eso hace que mejores en tu nivel de Inglés porque puedes hablar con compañeros de diferentes partes del mundo, recomiendo ampliamente la escuela.

Crescente Prieto: Actualmente estoy estudiando aquí y me he sentido muy cómodo. Las clases son super entretenidas, bien dinámicas y con buenos profesores que siempre están dispuestos a ayudar. La atención es maravillosa y el lugar muy acogedor. Lo recomiendo mucho!

Simone C A L: Eu fiquei um mês na LAB Vancouver da Renfrew que fica muito próxima a uma estação skytrain e, por isso, facilmente acessível.Professores com larga experiência, atenciosos, comprometidos com inclusão de alunos das mais diversas nacionalidades e modos de ser.Um mês é pouco. Recomendo que, se você puder, faça um intensivo mínimo de 6 meses.Minha melhora no inglês foi incrível em um mês.

leticia gonzalez: I have been studying here during 5 months and I totally recommended it. The teachers and the stuff are very professional and good atmosphere. If you want to learn English in Vancouver this is the perfect place!

Gabriel Jacome Hernandez: Great facilities, great teachers, affordable prices and hours, the best place to learn English

Diego Ruiz: One of the best language schools in Vancouver. Great teachers!!

Mira Filipovic: Critical:CommunicationThat school has moved to Renfrew st. on May1, 2020

Berilson Souza: qual o site do lab para contato, ou email ....

Abdulrahim Mohammed: ♥️♥️

Mariana Muller: A melhor escola de inglês. Ambiente ótimo, professores maravilhosos e equipe atenciosa.

Betty Rios: Staffs are friendly , but in my opinion the teachers and school need programs to follow and teachers a professional training.There are no assessments at this school, so you can hardly know your progress.

Giangiii89: I have been living in Vancouver for 2 years, I have never studied English before only learned by myself. I realized I needed to take some lessons to improve my grammar, vocabulary, listening and reading. I decided to take 6 weeks part time course at LAB while working full time and It was the best choice for me. I was in the advanced class with Teacher Damian. He is a really good teacher, knowledgeable, fun and made my lessons very interesting and never boring. I learned a lot about Canadian history, improve everything and met a lot of people from everywhere of any age. Very good environment if you want to learn English in Vancouver I definitely recommend this school.

Thomas Ferrão: I studied one month at LAB Vancouver, and was amazing experience. The structure of school is perfect, very new and organized. The school provide diferents extra activits for the students. The teachers and staff are very qualificated. I recommend LAB Vancouver for learn English and would study again at LAB.

Morgana Thomé: In my opinion, LAB is the best English school here in Vancouver, because there you have a lot of fun and learn English in a different way. The teachers are amazing, in the end they become more than just your teacher, they become really friends, who hep you inside and outside the LAB. Every friday we have funny activities, like volleyball and kayak in the summer, pumpkins and a big Halloween party in autumn and in the winter we have skating, skiing and the unique and wonderful winter lights (they`re absolutely magic!). Everyone in LAB is friendly and they incentive us to always help the news students and make new friends. Finally, I could say a lot of things about LAB, because I`ve studied there for 6 months, but I think you will just understand me when you see with yours owns eyes.

Bernabe Gabat: MOST OF THEIR EMPLOYEES HERE ARE RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY THEIR HOMESTAY COORDINATOR RUBY TAYLOR!!!!,THEY WILL JUST SEND THE INTERNATIONAL HOMESTAY STUDENT ALONE AND AFTER THAT THEY WILL NOT GIVE THE HOMESTAY PAYMENT RIGHT AWAY,..We will never get intouch or deal with this agency anymore!!!!!Oct.14,2017Its almost a year now this SEC still didn’t pay us.Now they email my wife that they have a new coordinator,so what?

Carrie Yusuki: I was scared when I first went to Vancouver but I met so many people that help me feel home. everything was perfect from the start, and organized. many activities in the evenings made me not homesick. now I am homesick for Vancouver.
