"I feel that my communication skill is getting better, so I'm not frustrated to use English anytime. Otherwise the location of SC/GEOS Languages Plus is also superb, I could easily achive the subway. I was specially lucky with my host family, I can suggest these people to everyone." Eva (Hungaria)
"So here I am! After three months spend in Toronto and at SC/GEOS Languages Plus I'm able to say that this experience has definitely changed my life. Indeed, when I just came to SC/GEOS Languages Plus I couldn't make a full complete sentence and less talking to someone. With the teacher's help and working hard by myself I've improved my English so much. The teachers are competent and friendly as well and the school'S staff was accommodating and helpful with me. The city of Toronto is an amazing and interesting place. I spent a great time to discover. Also, the most important thing that happened to me during my stay was the meets that I had. In fact, I met incredibles wonderful people that I won't never forget. To resume, Thanks SC/GEOS Languages Plus for all of that." Mehdi Choura (Switzerland)

"I am here in the school to improve my English skills and also enjoy multi cultural city life and learn about them in Toronto. Here in the school with wonderful teachers and classmates, my English improved better than my expectation. In class, I did not only learn English but also I learnt a lot of details about different cultures. I realized that all the cultures in the world have some similar customs. Everyday at the lunch time I learnt new meal from different countries. In the class, teachers do not use only our textbooks directly, they create different teaching techniques in order to take our attention to the important points. In this school, you do not have to discover anything by yourself because you are in a compact school. From first day, the staff make you feel comfortable and they are very trustful. You know that if you have any kind of problem or need to ask something, they are ready any with honesty. In brief, I have been here for 6 months and I am going back to Turkey this week. I will carry to Turkey all my Toronto experiences and honestly I will carry this wonderful family with staff, teachers and classmates!"Mujde (Turkey)
