Testimonial
"I like Vancouver a lot, especially during the summer time because I can go to my favorite beach: English Bay! I do love my classes at SC/GEOS Languages Plus too, because they are small classes and I can improve my English in a better way. The staffs and the teachers are very friendly and always want to help you."Rika Tarui (Japan)
"I love Vancouver, especially because there are lots of friendly people and I could get along with foreign friends that I have met at SC/GEOS Languages Plus. I really do like the classes, too, the way the teachers teach is a great way. At this fantastic school I could make lots of friends, which are my best memory from here and of course I could join some activities, like the Ice skating, really great! I want to thank you all the staff and teachers, because they helped me daily to improve my English Skills."Natachtorn Wongsupornchai (Thailand)
"Being in Vancouver is a great experience. It it is not a school only, it's a place where you meet new people from all over the world and learn new cultures. The staff is so nice and always willing to help you, both with your English and with other things you need. All in all, if you're staying in Vancouver you cannot miss studying at SC/GEOS Languages Plus Vancouver!"Alvaro Sanchez Cuervo (Spain)
"Teachers were really helpful, I really liked them. They were really kind and professional. They told a lot of different things I've never known. My class was perfect and I like all my classmates. It seems to me that I've already studying here for some years. I like morning classes with Alison because she always say new things about grammar and vocabulary. And Tomoko's class is good because of great discussions and presentations. I'll remember everybody of the stuff and school! Thank you for the time I've spent here and I'd like to come here again. Thank you!"Stas Gerasimov (Russia)
