We specialise in CELPIP TEST PREPARATION, and training for job interviews, and school interviews

Have fun, while learning to communicate: at school, on the street, at a store, in a workplace, at the airport or train station, or during a business conference. English is everywhere.

 

Using psychology and project-based learning, we train WITH you, to prepare you for real life, common scenarios. 

 

Adults have a unique backgrounds and their own needs for their English skills. We are flexible with the topics, so you can plan your own path to include the things that matter most, right now.

 

With our guidance and training, you will have an English learning package to suit YOUR personal needs. This increases relevancy (how important it is to you), and retention (how well you will remember the skills).

We will be helping you all the way, and more.

Many people think that Canada doesn't have its own cuisine, but in fact we have integrated many cultures into our everyday meals.

 

From beef, pork or chicken with roasted garlic, mashed (or baked) Yukon Golds, to wild pacific salmon with a maple glaze and baby greens along side roasted garden vegetables. How about an Atlantic Lobster Bisque, a cheese biscuit and a beer on lees? (Bière sur lie)

We have influence from the French, but also from the Swiss, Italians, Greeks, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Brasilian, Mexican, Peruvian, Jamaican, and of course our own Indigenous First Nations peoples who used corn, beans and squash

(known as the three sisters).
