In a small group, students get more attention and our teachers can be more responsive to their needs to Learn English in Canada. As a student, you have more opportunity to talk and interact with the teacher and your classmates.
We really believe in the advantage of studying in small groups. Unlike many institutions which advertise “small” groups, our groups really are small! We have as few as 2 students in some cases and our average group size is 5 (and maximum 8).

Observes ESL Teacher Randy, “it is easier for students to gain confidence in using the language when they don’t have to speak in front of a large group”. Moreover, everyone “gets to know each other well and becomes very comfortable expressing their ideas in English.”
