Testimonials

"There is so many things to say…What should I start with?
First of all, Montreal is a great city you should visit. I was personally impressed by the diversity here. While you walk along the streets, it is very common to meet people from all over the world. GEOS reflects the same multiculturalism. I came in this school to improve my English, and in addition of that I’ve made friends I wouldn’t met otherwise! The teachers and the staff are great as well. They always push you to give the best of yourself. I can really talk about the dynamics in the classes. If you think that you will find something totally annoying where the teacher is talking and the students are listening (or are sleeping I should say ) you’re completely wrong! Classes are amazing and there is a wonderful interaction between everybody. Coming to class and improving a new language has never been such a pleasure for me. I warmly encourage you to try this experience. You won’t be disappointed."

"I’m Maria Gometa and I am from Colombia. I am really happy to be here ,it is a beautiful and funny city. I arrived in Montreal 2 months ago and I can say that it will be an unforgettable experience in my life. GEOS Montreal Academy made me happy and comfortable to learn French. I feel that I can achieve my goals and go back Colombia and say that I can speak French.
Thanks GEOS"

"Je m’appelle Vanessa et je viens d’Allemagne. Je vais rester sept semaines à Montréal pour améliorer mes connaissances des langues française et anglaise. En ce moment, j’ai fini mon cours de français (4 semaines avec le cours intensif) et je suis prête pour passer l’examen du DELF. Je veux le faire pour avoir un grand choix d’emploi en Allemagne et peut-être en France et en Suisse. Mais aussi la langue anglaise est très importante pour moi. Je vais faire un cours intensif d’anglais de trois semaines. L’école de langue GEOS me plait beaucoup. Depuis le début de mes études toutes les personnes ici sont très gentilles et serviables et on peut trouver une atmosphère très internationale. L’école se situe au centre-ville et comme ça on peut aller à l’extérieur pendant les pauses pour boire un café ou faire le magasinage. Si vous venez chez GEOS de Montréal, je vous propose de loger en famille d’accueil. C’est la meilleure façon pour parler la langue chaque jour! Et Montréal est une ville tellement intéressante et variée. Il y a aussi les autres curiosités comme Toronto, Québec, les chutes du Niagara ou New York qui offrent des possibilités pour s’amuser et faire de nouvelles expériences."

"GEOS is been an amazing and a great experience for me. Been a student in the school have given me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, improve my languages skills and enjoy the City of Montreal, which I sincerely recommend to anyone who wishes to learn a new language or improve their previous knowledge. The school counts with excellent teachers and super helpful and friendly staff. I have to say is a perfect place to study, for sure, you can notice the change on what you are doing in no time.
Studying in a multicultural city where you can find incredible activities to do and, to have the opportunity to travel around Canada is simply amazing, for sure is going to be something that you’ll always remember!!

"I’ve been studying English in Geos for four months which they were for me the best experience that I’ve ever had. I made many friends from Canada and other countries and I learned many things about their culture. I had no problem since I arrived in Montreal even I haven’t been able speaking and understanding English at that time. I really appreciated what Geos afforded me throughout that time. The staff is attentive and kind. The teachers are the best because they have an incredible knowledge and willing to help me in what I have difficulty to learn. There are many activities in the city and the best thing is most of them are free. I had fun and learnt a lot.
It’s an amazing experience and I recommend all of you do that. "

When I decided to study at GEOS Montreal, all I wanted to do was improve my language skills and I didn’t expect anything else. Now I am glad that I chose this school because I could learn a lot more than that. Not only could I meet many people from different countries and become friends here, I also met great staff and teachers. When I first started to study French at GEOS, I had almost zero knowledge of French and didn’t even know how to answer when I was asked ‘Ça va?’. My French was that terrible. Now, thanks to my great teacher, I’m gradually getting able to say small things in French and of course, now I can answer with much confidence when someone asks me ‘Ça va?’ even at a store. My French has been improving. Of course, my English has been really improving as well. At the beginning, I didn’t have confidence in my English and often stayed silent in a class. But my teacher tries to give each student a chance to speak and doesn’t forget to give good points and weak points that I should work on in a speech. That helped me to improve my speaking skills a lot. Now I know I speak much more, compared to the beginning, and see the difference in myself. I really enjoy each class here and I would like to say thank you to my wonderful teachers who make each class interesting and the staff who helps me and says hello every morning with a smile :)

Привет всем. В Монтреал я приехал в Сентябре 2009 года. Для меня было очень интересно посмотреть город Монтреаль и выучить язык. Геос это место где всегда интересно, весело и полезно. В Геосе всегда доброжелательная атмосфера. Персонал всегда тебе помогает в трудной и обычной ситуации. Никогда не будешь обделен вниманием. В Геосе всегда ты найдешь друзей. Интересные развлечения проводят в школе. Хэлуин, Рождество и многие другие праздники проводят в школе, также в будние дни проводятся интересные развлечения. В Геосе никогда не скучно. На занятиях хорошая дружелюбная атмосфера, чувствуешь комфортно, учителя помогают тебе, если что то не понятно. Интересно видеть, то как твой английский улучшается с каждым днем. Мне нравиться эта школа, очень много положительных моментов, В этой школе я научился английскому, нашел новых друзей, узнал культуру других национальностей и посмотрел много красивых мест (Торонто, Ниагарский водопад, город Квебек). Я всегда буду помнить Геос. Геос место, где тебе всегда рады.

Cuando decidí venir a Montreal nunca me imaginé que iba a tener una experiencia tan increíble como la que tuve. Desde el día que llegué conocí personas de todas partes del mundo, gente como yo, con ganas de vivir algo nuevo y aprender otro idioma. En Geos Montreal vas a encontrar personas amables, pacientes y serviciales, dispuestos a hacer de tu estadía en la ciudad una experiencia asombrosa.Creo que haber elegido Montreal para estudiar tanto Inglés como Francés fue la mejor elección, y estoy muy contenta porque regresaré a Colombia llena de recuerdos geniales y muchísimos amigos. Gracias a todos por hacer que me enamorara de Montreal!
Los voy a extrañar demasiado. Bye bye…!

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Irina. Je suis très contente d'avoir passé ici 6 mois. Quand je suis arrivée à Montréal, je ne pouvais pas dire un mot en Français, je ne connaissais presque personne. C'est ici, à l'école GEOS ou j'ai appris le Français, et rencontré mes premiers amis ainsi que beaucoup d'autres choses grâce à mes professeurs et les amis de ma classe. L'école GEOS: c'est une très bonne chance de passer le meilleurs temps, perfectionner la langue et connaître les autres cultures.

Je m appelle Marie Cometa, je suis colombienne, je suis arrivée le 10 décembre l’année dernière en 2008. Le premier jour, j'ai vraiment pensé que j’allais mourir, c'était un changement plus froid de 30 degrés et j'ai pensé que je ne pourrais pas survivre à ce pays.
Mais une fois à Geos, j’ai changé d’avis car c’est un école merveilleuse, à laquelle je voudrais dire merci beaucoup parce qu’elle m’a donné l'opportunité de connaître beaucoup d'amis et personnes du monde entier. Elle m’a aussi donne les meilleurs professeurs Mme Mamasita Fariba, Christelle et Scott. J’ai eu la meilleure mère d’accueil Lynda Cyr et le plus important j'ai pu faire ce que j’étais venue faire ici : pouvoir parler français et anglais, et par-dessus tout présenter mes examens de DELF et de TOEFL qui me serviront pour mon parcours universitaire.
Aujourd'hui que c’est mon dernier jour, il ne me reste plus qu’a dire, merci beaucoup à tout le staff de Geos, c'était un année incroyable et j espère pouvoir revenir un jour.
Merci beaucoup à nouveau

et QUE VIVA COLOMBIA

Wow!!!
I have to admit that this experience to be in Montreal is really great because I enjoy a lot the city, the view and the most important... The school!! I like so much the school!! And the teachers are very professional and with a good sense of humor!!
The people who study here are very friendly and very respectful so I hope that everybody could enjoy Montreal and Geos!! Its an experience that you never forget!!”

I was asked to write a testimonial talking about GEOS Language Academy (Montreal). I accepted but I want to explain it in my special way.
Let’s start with the city. Montreal, one amazing city!! Here you can walk safely on the street. If you love cars, you can see Ferraris, Porches and others nice cars passing on the Downtown streets. If you like to workout, you can pay about 60 CAD for 3 months in the amazing Concordia University Gym. If you are into the nightlife, there are a lot of clubs, pubs and other activities you can do at night. If you want to get to know other cultures, you can just sit in front of the Tim Horton’s on the corner of Guy & Maisonneuve and you will hear many different languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Indian, Chinese, Korean, and etc.) I can also say the same about the gym as I meet someone from a different country every time I train.
Now, I will talk about GEOS Language Academy (Montreal). I came here to learn English and French... ... ... ... Of course! This is the reason why people come to study at this school!!!!
Let’s talk about the amazing staff that works at GEOS Montreal. HUMM!!!!! Who do I start with???
Ok, let’s talk about the Staff in alphabetic order:
-Audrey Malgras-Serra: She is really pretty and smart, always helps you when you need anything and when she doesn’t know the answer, she looks for it and gives you feedback. She has a soft French way to talk with you.
-Billy Barbier: This man is very very nice and really smart; always asking about your news. If you have any kind of problem he is really helpful. Every thing you need to know about the courses, Montreal or Canada he will help you. If he doesn’t know the answer to a question, he looks for the answer and let’s you know.
-Meehye Seong: She has the face of an ingenuous Korean girl, but she is very decided and firm. If you need any help related to your academic improvement, she is the person you need to see. She is very helpful and when the time is right to change levels, she will help you.
-Sayaka Sakakibara: She is very charming with a soft voice. She always tries to solve all the problems that students may have about homestay or gives advice on how to negotiate a contract with a real estate agent if you want to rent an apartment or a house.
-Uri Carnat: He is the man!! I met him 2 months before I came to Montreal on Skype. I had with some problems with my travel agency in Brazil and he helped me speed my process to come to Montreal. Every day when you arrive at school, he welcomes you with something different: there is "the sentence of the day" or after greeting you, if you ask him how he is doing, he will say: "You know what? If you are doing well, then I am also doing well!!!" He is a good person. If you have any kind of problem or want to talk about any kind of topic, he will take the time to speak with you.

I would like to thank my mother who helped me with my preparation to study in Montreal. Secondly, I thank God and lastly all the GEOS Montreal staff that makes my stay at the school and the city more enjoyable every day.

When I arrived at GEOS Montreal four weeks ago, I just wanted to improve my English and add a highlight to my CV. But I found so much more than that: First of all, I have won dear friends at school. While we enjoy Montreal together and get to know our different cultures, we practice our English skills without even noticing. Also, the highly interactive classes help me build more confidence ... in both my English and myself. I particularly love the role plays and discussions on controversial topics that not only increase my fluency but teach me lots about myself. This is due to the excellent young teachers, who impart even sophisticated grammar or vocabulary with esprit and humour. They make me look forward to every single school day. Thank you, GEOS!

My name is Maher Hassanain from Saudi Arabia, I came all the way from my country to Canada, Montreal, Geos Montreal college.
In the beginning, before coming to this college, I was like, I am going to Geos to learn English, and I am not sure if I am going to improve my English so much. And my plans were, home then college. (boring). That’s how I thought it would be in the beginning. Now after 2 months and a half in this college, I can assure that I have improved all my skills much more than expected.
Now, my English is good thanks to Geos and I also have a lot of friends around the world, I learnt about their cultures, their way of living, and about their language. The friends I met here in Geos are all friendly, helpful, respectful. At my first day in Montreal I was worried about how things are going to be and I was worried about everything. But I can say that I became happy since my first day at GEOS.
The Geos teachers are the best English teachers I have seen. I went to many colleges , and I think that this one is the best. If my friends ask me about the best college I have ever been to, it is definitely going to be this college. And also this college helped me to enjoy my time in Montréal with all the festivals, the fire works... etc. And if I am going to recommend this college to people, this is going to be the number one college, you will never know what I mean until other students see it by themselves. Also all GEOS staff members never say no when I ask some questions, they are always supporting students, and I can say that this college is unique!
Furthermore, my friends, whom I met from Geos are all helpful, they made me not just enjoy my stay and then forget it, no! They made me happy, and now we are friends for now and ever, the friends I met here are going to be my friends to the end. Maybe this is the 5th English college, but it is actually the best, I got more information then the others combined. And I will never forget this college. And I will try to come here next week and maybe start other language after this college helped me pass my TOEFL! And I thank everyone in Geos about all they did to me, thanks to Billy, Audrey, Scott, Alex ... etc and this college is the college I will recommend to other people.

"The time that I've been here was one of the best, funniest, exciting and friendliest time that I have ever had. Montreal is a beautiful place, with many different and interesting things to do. I always had fun, each day that I stayed here is one different amazing experience. The people that I met in GEOS are so good and friendly.. I made many friends, I've gained a lot of knowledge about all different cultures. The people that work in GEOS have been there when I needed something, with advice, help, all that I could need. I'm so happy to be here!"

"Hi, My name is Naif. I'm 17 years old from Saudi Arabia . I have spent very great time in GEOS school especially the time I had in the trips ( Niagara Falls and many other activities) . I can't believe it! My English has improved a lot since I came to Montreal. I would strongly recommend GEOS school to every one. I had wonderful, amazing, lovely and unforgettable experiences with my classmates and the staff that would be in my memory forever. Thank you GEOS."

Hello everyone! : ) I'm Virginia and I'm from Tapachula,Chiapas, Mexico. I'm 22 years old and I work as an English teacher. I stayed in Montreal for one month and It was one of the most amazing and exciting experiences I've ever had. I enjoyed meeting new people, new cultures and above all, giving me the opportunity to improve and learn more about the language. I also enjoyed being in my classes. In my opinion there are good teachers here in GEOS and It was a pleasure to meet all these great people. I've never thought I'd be traveling abroad and being here in Montreal, Canada. I really liked being at the Niagara Falls, the CN Tower, The biodome, old Montreal, etc. There are many places to go to have the best time of your life. I'm going to miss all of you GEOS people, the staff that have been really nice not only to me but also to everyone and last but not least my teachers. I'm going to miss being in your classes : ) So, If you really want to improve your English abilities this is a good choice. It is something you'll have to experience by yourself. GEOS thanks for letting me be part of this memorable experience. MUCHAS GRACIAS, Thank you so much : ) Sincerely yours, VICKY

Hi, my name is Mohannad Hassanain. I am from Saudi Arabia. I arrived to GEOS two months ago to learn English. GEOS is not only a school. I have lots of friends from all over the world and I hope I can meet them again in GEOS next year and I hope I will come next year.

Je suis tunisien. Je suis étudiant en comptabilité à HEC Montreal. J’ai passé presque sept mois dans cette ville et j’ai affronté l’hiver. Je suis tombé deux ou trois fois par terre à cause de la glace. J’aime Montreal. C’est une ville multiculturelle. Il a de belles choses à voir. Personnellement, j’admire la vue de la ville au sommet de la montagne de Mont-Royal. Concernant GEOS, j’ai étudié l’anglais. J’ai aimé la méthode pédagogique enseignée dans l’école. Les étudiants apprennent la langue en parlant correctement. Sincèrement, tout le monde (le personnel, les professeurs, les étudiants) est sympathique dans cette école. Je reviendrai.

J`étudie à GEOS, ça fait maintenant six mois. Mon premier jour était vraiment difficile et inaccoutumé. Je ne parlais pas beaucoup anglais, ni français. J`ai commencé par étudier l`anglais. Au début, c’était très difficile pour moi à comprendre, mais avec l`aide de mon professeur, j`ai réussi à comprendre et à bien parler. C`était la même chose pour le cours de français. Maintenant, je comprends bien le français. Il suffit de faire un petit effort. Les professeurs et le personnel sont très gentils et très serviables. J`ai beaucoup aimé la diversité culturelle dans cette école et les activités programmées.Montréal est aussi une ville très intéressante. Il y a beaucoup de musées, de parcs, de festivals, de restaurants et autres choses intéressantes, et pour tous les goûts. Donc je recommande à tout le monde de visiter cette école et pourquoi pas apprendre une autre langue!

Nice to meet you! I'm Paola and I'm from Teggiano, Salerno. I'm happy to recommend you Geos as a good language Academy.I arrived at Geos 2 months ago, my first day in this Academy was very traumatic: I didn't understand one English word, but I had two great teachers. They helped me to improve my listening, my writing and my conversation skills. Every day was a new incredible experience. At the same time I learned a new language and I met a lot of new cultures. I studied very hard and after six week I went to next level changing teachers and continuing to improve my English. I'm very impressed with how Geos has helped me with this language completely unknown to me prior to this course. I always loved the communication, now I can communicate with people from every part of the world. I think this is amazing! Geos had change my world vision. I have to say Thank you to Geos, to its staff and to its special teachers because now I feel a citizen of the world.

Ciao! I'm Cesare from Italy, I'm a physical-therapist and I have been here in work-vacations for 2 weeks. C'est mon deuxième été consécutif à GEOS à Montréal pour améliorer mon français et mon anglais. Montréal est une ville magnifique, cosmopolite et sécuritaire, j'adore l'ambiance franco-anglophone qui me donne beaucoup de sérénité et la possibilité de faire la connaissance de gens en provenance de partout dans le monde. I have been in language schools all over the world Cape Town, Honolulu, Boston, London and Edimburgh) and nowhere I have found teachers so competitive and a staff so nice and helpful as I have in GEOS Montreal. For this reason I have come back for the second time. L'année prochaine je reviendrai à nouveau!!! Thanks to everyone for the lovely experience:-))!!

Je m'appelle Sarah et je viens d'Allemagne. Je suis à Montréal pour apprendre le Français et pratiquer l'Anglais. Cela fait un mois que je suis ici et je reste encore deux mois. Donc, j'ai le temps de pratiquer. Les gens à GEOS sont gentils. Les employés de GEOS sont gentils aussi et serviables. Montréal est très différent par rapport à ma patrie. La ville est un peu sale et dans un autobus ou un métro il n'y a pas assez de places assises. Mais Montréal est une belle ville aussi. J'aime bien les vieilles maisons et les parcs. Le musée des Beaux-Arts est très intéressant et gratuit. C'est super! Maintenant le temps ce n'est pas très beau mais on m'a dit que le temps va changer. Amusez vous ici!

I only had two weeks available to study and I wanted to improve my very rusty French. The intensive course at GEOS was a good fit. The staff here are very welcoming and friendly. They were quite helpful setting me up in a residence that was an easy 10 minute walk from the school. I took the intensive course and it was a good way to spend the little time I had really focusing on French. There is no way to learn a language completely in just 2 weeks but it provided a strong base to go out and practice talking with people. I appreciated the fact that GEOS had several levels of French classes at the same time and students were able to freely move up or down a level to suit their ability. I also found the interactions with other students fun. Montreal is also a great city to explore! I would recommend the intensive program to folks who only have a short time to brush up on their skills!

« Je m'appelle Adriana Liendo. Je suis vénézuélienne. Je suis venue à Geos Montréal car je voudrai pratiquer et améliorer mon français. Je trouve que Geos est un institut très intéressant parce que ici on rencontre des gens différents, et comme ça, on peut parler et connaître des nouvelles cultures. Même si on doit étudier beaucoup, il y a toujours du temps pour s'amuser pendant les activités que Geos prépare pour nous, comme les activités hebdomadaires. En plus, Montréal c'est une très belle ville avec des attractions pour tous les goûts. »

In the time that I have been here in Montreal, I have been taught the beauty that is this country and it's culture. The peace, the security and many positive things are the mixture of different style and ways of thinking. In GEOS, I found new friends form different countries and with their, I learned how to enjoy study English. I hope, I'll be able to return here in a few months.

When I arrived in Montreal 3 months ago, I couldn't understand anything. My English was terrible, but now I can talk and I need to, thank to Geos. The teachers, the staff and the administration are extremely good all the time. For instance, when I need something, I can ask them. Montreal is definitely a beautiful city and I'm used to going out with my friends at night because it's safe. Montreal is a European and North-American city. I have a lot of friends here and I'm so happy with this. If you need to learn English or French, you should study in Geos Montreal. I'm enjoying my time a lot here. When it finishes, I will miss this so much. Finally, I want to say: Thank you very much Geos!!! Xoxo,

Hi!!! This is Chiharu. I have studied English at GEOS Montreal for 3 months.
When I arrived here, I understood almost nothing! So I felt homesick and I was worried about my future. However, I met a lot of people at GEOS. Everyone is kind and friendly. I have made a lot of friends from over the world. Moreover, GEOS' staff and teachers are funny and helpful. They gladly teach me English, even outside of class. Therefore, I enjoyed my self a lot in GEOS. I love GEOS Montreal. I recommend the school to everyone wanting to study English or French. Furthermore, Montreal is a very beautiful city. It has many European buildings. I love Montreal!!!! That's all !! Thank you!!! :))))) xoxo

I spend 3 months at GEOS Montreal. I learned French here. It was difficult and sometimes frustrating but it was worth it. I met great people from all over the world and I had a lot of fun. Montreal is a great city with a wonderful & long winter. I won't forget this time!

J'ai passé 3 mois à GEOS Montréal. J'ai appris le français ici. C'était difficile et parfois frustrant mais ça a valu la peine. J'ai rencontré des personnes sympas du monde entier et je me suis bien amusé. Montréal est une belle ville avec des hivers magnifiques & froids. Je n'oublierai jamais ces 3 mois!

En général, je trouve cette expérience extraordinaire. Depuis mon arrivée à Montréal j'ai appris une grande quantité de choses dont je ne savais pas que j'allais connaître. A partir de toutes les connaissances que j'ai obtenu à GEOS Montréal, à mon avis, la ville est parfaite pour avoir un très bon temps en pratiquant le français puisqu'il y a plusieurs activités pendant toute l'année pour profiter des weekends et même essayer de parler en français. De plus, je me suis fait tellement d'amis que je pourrais voyager dans tout le monde ; et grâce à un très gentil personnel, il semble que les problèmes n'existent pas. Donc, je crois que tu n'auras pas la possibilité de t'ennuyer à GEOS Montréal.

I like Montreal so much! Montreal is very nice place where there are a lot of beautiful and traditional places, many different people come from all around the world. And I like GEOS, too. It is a very comfortable place for me.
My teachers always makes me so laugh. When I have some troubles, GEOS' staff and especially Japanese assistant usually help me! Here is my best situation.
I really appreciate your kindness.

The month I've spent at GEOS has been great, I've enjoyed every minute of it. The teachers have such enthusiasm for languages that it makes the learning process so much more enjoyable and slightly less difficult! The activities are always engaging, with a good balance between the 4 areas of learning & a great variety of exercises. With such a diversity of people from all over the world studying at the school, class discussions were always extremely interesting, I've made some great friends.
Thank you & hope to see you again soon!

When I came to Montreal I had English knowledge, but I couldn't use it very well. I was afraid of the new life situations and it was frustrating. I have been studying at GEOS for two months and I feel much better thanks to GEOS staff. My teachers are patient and always teach with joy. Every day, when I go to school I learn something new about Canada, the language or my classmates. This is a good way to practice because we talk with each other before, after and during the class. If I have any questions, I can go to my teacher, who helps and replies with enthusiasm, I'm sure I will learn more in the net two months.
If you would like to study English or French, I can recommend GEOS, because you can find a nice atmosphere with kind people.

Salut à tous! Je m'appelle Jhonnatan, je suis Colombien et j'ai 18 ans. Mon expérience à GEOS était vraiment agréable. J'ai profité de tout ce que mes professeurs m'ont enseigné. Mon Français s'est amélioré à 100% grâce à GEOS. Je vous remercie de votre intérêt à aider les autres et faire de notre séjour à Montréal quelque chose que sûrement on ne va jamais oublier.

It has been five months since I joined GEOS. I was so happy to achieve the required TOFEL score that I needed to be accepted to university after three months of English classes. In addition, I have been studying French for about one month, starting with zero background, and now my family and friends couldn't believe how fast I learned to introduce myself and ask questions in French.
I believe that, the small amount of students in each class, the strong interaction between teachers and students, the extra friendly and helpful staff, and the location of this school, make it very easy and comfortable for students to study and meet new friends.
I still have four months in French class to go but I miss GEOS already!

I have been studying in GEOS Montreal for 2 months. My English has improve so fast because of the help of the excellent GEOS Teachers.
This is an excellent place to studying English and French too.
The activities of the school are so good and funny, and meet new people.
I need to say that this beautiful city is multicultural and you can find people from all around the world and every day, you can learn something new about so many countries.
With the help of the excellent teachers of GEOS Montreal, you can learn English or French in a very fun way.
So, I recommend GEOS Montreal to all my friends from Mexico.

When I came here, I couldn't speak English.
Also, I was stressed and nervous.
But, I have met nice friends, teachers, staff and very kind host-family. So I had a good time.
I would like to recommend GEOS Montreal because teachers and staff is very helpfull, kindly and funny.
And you will be able to make good friends.
I'm glad that I choose this school.

Dear Uri,
Greetings from England to you and all the staff. It's just over two weeks since I arrived back in the UK and it's taking a while to adjust to the "big smoke" after the warm and bright atmosphere of Montreal.
I just wanted to say thanks again to you, Sayaka...Billy, Yasu, Stefanie and the teachers for providing such a welcoming atmosphere. Please keep me on your mailing list for news of the school...I hope to be back someday.
Best regards to you all

Montreal is a cosmopolitan city with many festivals in each season. It's a nice city and a great city in which to study second or third languages.
At GEOS Montreal, I have been studying for 24weeks. I think my English is getting better. There are many good teachers. I like the atmosphere and the style of teaching of each teacher. It feels comfortable to participate in class.
Let's say, if you want to study English or French (or even Spanish which you can learn from your friends) I recommend GEOS Montreal.
Improve your language skills, Make new friends, and have new experiences.

I just want to thank GEOS Montreal. That school helps everybody to learn the language he wants. There is English, French and even Japanese can be studied. I've decided to learn French here. But learning at GEOS Montreal is not like learning at a normal school. Here you can experience a lot of new and interesting things. The stuff is a bit crazy but that's a perfect start to a funny lesson. You don't even have to travel the world to get to know different cultures! I met so many people like Japanese, Columbians, Austrians, Mexicans, Germans, Finish and Chinese. This helps me to open my mind to unknown nationalities. I'm really enjoying my time here. I don't even want to leave anymore. It's not only the great atmosphere at school but also the wonderful city that impresses me. I, a small Austrian girl, don't know such big cities like Montreal. But even in case you don't like large and loud cities this is a good place for you. Montreal counts some thousands of people but luckily it has its quiet and green places. It is a city for all kinds of interests. I can only recommend to everybody to visit GEOS in Montreal.

Bonjour tout le monde! Je suis Stephanie Toussaint et je viens de France. j'ai choisi de quitter mon pays pour un mois pour ameliorer mon niveau d'anglais grace a GEOS. Quelle experience! En plus d'avoir rencontrer des personnes sympathiques ( qui sont devenues mes amis) j'ai pu visiter la merveilleuse ville de Montreal. Parler avec les autres eleves est un bon exercice pour s'entrainner et te rend plus ouvert aux autres, plus confiant...
j'ai appris un autre mode de vie, une autre culture.

Hello, everybody~!! I am stefanie Tousaint and I come from France. I chose to quit my country for 1 month to improve my English level, thanks to GEOS Montreal. Such a good experience.~! I met lots of lovely people, who become good friends. In addition to the beautiful city of Montreal. Speaking with others pupils is a good exercise to practice your English and make you more open-minded, self-confident...
I found other ways of live cultures.

I came here for my English study.
GEOS Montreal made me more comfortable to speak English.
In GEOS, there are many kindly people, and lots of interesting things.
Actually, I worried when I arrived in Montreal. Because, there are 2 languages; French and English. But, I think it doesn't matter for studying English.
Montreal is one of the best place for the English study.
I would like to recommend GEOS Montreal to my friends in Korea.

Here, GEOS Montreal in such a combined city, I found that learning new language is very interesting. Actually, I had just wanted to take a care free time before coming here. And studying foreign language was a second priority. However, for the last 3 months in GEOS Montreal, it was changed by open-minded students, humorous talented, intelligent teachers, extremely kind staffs and Montreal's attractive cultural events, such as PoP Montreal, Wednesday night's free Art museum.). If you have a plan for studying in such a nice place, I would like to strongly recommend GEOS Montreal to my friends.
But, if you are NOT nice, NOT open, NOT interesting, Please, don't put any of your feet here.
I want to remember GEOS Montreal as my good impression.

When I came to GEOS Montreal, my French wasn't very good. But with the great teachers, administrators and just overal, the great atmosphere, I feel like my French has improved greatly than I used to be. It was an awesome experience and would like to recommend GEOS Montreal to friends and Anyone looking to learn some Language, like English ,French or a few of languages.

Do you want to study English? If you want to study English, I would recommend GEOS. it is a good institute to learn English and other language.

When I came to GEOS, staffs were glad to see me. They are kind and sweet. GEOS has a good system. At first, teachers have good skill. When you have a question, you can always ask them. Additionally, they make you understand perfectly. At second, lots of activities happen. Niagara Falls tour, Quebec city and Ottawa tour, climbing mountain, playing soccer and watching movies, etc. at third, GEOS has a good atmosphere. You may be a foreigner and you may live alone or Homestay. So, then people who is around you is more important. People who are students, teachers and staffs are thoughtful and kind. You must feel like home.
So if I chose schools one more time, I absolutely would select GEOS.

I have stayed with a family since I came to Montreal approx. 2 weeks ago. The family is from Italy originally. They speak not only Italian but also English and French.

When father of the family has free, he tells me many things. For instance, he tells me about history of Montreal, religion, and so on. It is very useful for me to hear a lot of English. if he tell me some words which I don't know, he explains about the words in detail if I ask about them.

Mother of the family is so kind and cheerfully that it is so easy for me to talk with her. Also she takes good care of me, then I am helped by her.

While living abroad, one of disturbing matters is a meal.
In my case, supper is almost Italian food.
The supper is delicious.
If I want to eat the food in japan, I have to go to Italian restaurant, and I can't go to the restaurant everyday. I mean, I am so lucky.

There is one spanish guy, who stay with the family, except me. When we are at supper, we talk in English with eating. The talk is very good practice for me. However, his english skill is better than me, then I almost hear his talk.

I have just started my home-stay life.
Sometimes I am anxious for the life because of my inexperience. But I think that having fun in Montreal now is very helpful of the family.

Montreal is a charming and elegant city in which many different cultures join and become one. Just by living in it you get a new perspective of the world around you and a better understanding of your own culture. GEOS has also been an important part of my experience here. I've learned a lot, not only from my amazing teachers but also from my classmates. I've made a lot of friends, and even though I haven't been here long, my English has improved so much. I think that coming to Montreal and studying here is one of the best decitions I have ever made.

Bonjour, hi, my name is Sung Kook Park. I'm from South Korea. I am at GEOS Montreal to learn English and French. While studying at GEOS Montreal, I was able not only to learn communication skills, grammar, listening comprehension etc, but also find out some interesting cultural tips from different countries.

This kind of experience is very interesting and special for me. Hadn't I come to Montreal, I would not have experienced it at all.

In addition to these, the school activities are also full of fun. I went on a picnic in Mont-Royal park with my classmates and I went Ottawa and Quebec city among others.

It is the nicest and most tremendous experience that I've ever had.

I will never forget the times that I had spent in Montreal.

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Maria Fernanda. Je suis Mexicaine et je vais rester ici a Montréal 4 semaines pour apprendre le francais. Tout le monde ici à GEOS est tres sympa et les professeurs sont excellents.
J'ai rencontré beaucoup de personnes intéressantes de différents pays comme de la Colombie, de la Russie, de l'Australie, de l'Italie, de la France, de l'Allemagne, de l'Espagne et du Zimbabwe. Montréal est une ville tres agréable et multiculturelle et il y a beaucoup de lieux à visiter comme le musée des Beaux-Arts, le Festival FrancoFolies, le concours de feux d'artifice.
C'est une expérience inoubliable.

J'aimerais bien vous remercier à GEOS pour mon séjour tellement agréable et avec beaucoup de fun.
Particulièrement je voudrais remercier mon professeur fou Jérôme qui m'a enseignée pendant trois semaines. Je ne deviendrais jamais un grand chef de cuisine mais avec ton aide peut-être...Je suis optimiste. D'avoir composé notre chanson est une experience inoubliable (but you guys haven't properly saved the video of our song which I will never forgive you...) En outre il m'a fait grand plaisir de t'expliquer quelques oeuvres d'art au musée à côté de l'école et merci pour d'avoir pu lire ta nouvelle. J'aimerais bien continuer de lire tes oeuvres et faire des projets en art thérapie plus langues plus cuisine avec toi.
Merci tellement à mon professeur Fariba qui est vraiment chébran et looc et a essayé de m'enseigner des mots blécas en francais. Elle m'a fait toujours rire et maintenant j'entend dans mon intérieur comment tu ris et cela me rend heureux. Tu m'a rappellé aux mes amies iraniennnes et pour cette raison je savais toute suite que tu es Iranienne.
A mon professeur Sandra: je suis tellement désolée pour d'avoir terminé ton jeu du Montréal qui avait commencé tellement bien. Tu étais mon professeur seulement pendant une journée mais merci pour d'avoir fait ta connaissance. Peut-être à la prochaine fois.
To Marcus and Billy: thanks a lot for all your help and your kindness. Marcus, I really like your French accent and it makes me laugh to think of coffee times with cookies and movie nights with Indiana Jones. When I think of you, I have to smile. I hope that you will continue to give your big heart and happiness to the school and to all the students.
Merci à vous tous pour les grands et petits bonheurs que vous m'avez offerts. Je vous embrasse.

I totally remember when I arrived in Montreal. Everything was covered with snow and it was taller than me. 27th Feb. 2008 11pm. Finally I'm in Montreal.

I prepared pretty long time for come to Canada, except study English, so first time Montreal wasn't special until I visited school. I don't know Uri remember that we met first, but I did. Uri, Billy and one lady, maybe Sayaka, were receive me with warm hands. I heard many thing about Canada before I come to here, so I had a prejudice, but it was fade away. They were hospitable to me who is "exit" is more familiar than "sortie."

My Montreal and GEOS life have started with GEOS people. My teachers - Matt, Amit and Lotoya who is a new and other teachers. They already know about my problems. So everytime correcting and trying until I'll have correct answer. And staffs - Uri, Billy, Marcus, Sayaka and Yasu have many information that I want. So they always give me a new information or search.

I'm satisfied with GEOS and Montreal except classroom is little bit hot. Every GEOS people are good friends everytime.

I'm from Japan.
I arrived here a month ago,and I have been studying at GEOS for 3 weeks.
My classmates are Korean, Japanese, Mexcan, Turkish, Czech and Taiwanese.
My classmates and teachers are really friendly, funny and like to joke!
So, GEOS students and teachers are always laughing.

I study English at the morning lesson for 2 hours, then I eat lunch for an hour. After that I have another lesson for 2 hours.
The lunch time is so much fun!! My classmates and students from other classes eat lunch at the sametime everyday. It's easy to make new friends here!

Montreal is really multinational. When I got on the train for the first time, I was so surprised!
There were people from many countrys living here. I had never seen that sight before.

I was also surprised about the achitecture in montreal. The apartments, houses, buldings and churchs are really beautiful. I enjoy that view all the time.

I don't have enough time everyday. I have a lot of things I have to do and want to do in montreal.

English is very difficult, So I get depressed sometimes. But, My friends, GEOS's teachers and host family support me. So,I always have a feeling of gratitude and like everyone at GEOS!!

For me, it has been a unique opportunity to meet new people, but more than this, to feel the atmosphere and the cultural diversity. I am staying with a host family and it has been a pleasure for me to be in touch with a Canadian family. every day, it has been a new adventure. I and my friends enjoy walking around the city to "discover" monuments, museums, art galleries, and so on. We have coffee at the cafeteria to try the typical food from Canada. We are really having a good time here and for sure we will have very good things to tell our families in Brazil. For sure we will miss Canada a lot.

Studying at GEOS Montreal will be recorded in my memories because I met both, great friends from many countries and professional people from GEOS. Besides, the environment was very good and made everybody feel comfortable and relaxed. It was two wonderful months of unforgettable experiences with unforgettable people, which made my trip worth it, all this together with my english improvement in lively classes. I'm sure that in the future I will come back to Montreal and to GEOS, but then to learn French. That's why I want to thank GEOS for everything you have done for me and tell you... See you soon! ... I'll be back.

I just wanted to pass along again how much I enjoyed the educational experience last week at the GEOS Montreal Academy. The school truly lives up to its motto of a professional appearance with a fun attitude. I'm already looking at next year's December calendar to plan for next year's trip. In the Meantime I plan to continue studying my French. Please pass along a big hello to everyone for me, and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season this year. Take care, Will

We are from Mexico and we have been here for 4 months.
4 awesome months in which we have had a great experience. Here, you can learn a lot about different cultures because as you already know, Montreal is a multicultural city.
Our experience in GEOS Montreal has been really nice because here we have the opportunity to have fun while we learn languages; the fact that it's a language school doesn't mean that it has to be boring.
We also have had the pleasure to know a lot of nice people, the students and GEOS staff as well.
We can summarize that Montreal and GEOS have been the perfect combination to enjoy our stay here.
Thanks to the staff. Thanks to Montreal. Thanks to GEOS.

Hello, my name is Tina. I am 24 years old and I am from Germany. I stayed in Montreal for four weeks in a host family. I studied english. GEOS choose a very nice host family for me. So I could practice my english which I have learned at school everyday. The GEOS team was great and warm. Whenever I have problems, I can ask them and they will help me. I feel I am welcomed. The teachers used different kinds of teaching methods, like listening, conversation, presentation, work in teams, movies and others. Therefore, the learning result is very good. GEOS had also a big offer on activities after school everyday in the week and especially on Friday. I had the chance to get to know Montréal with a big group of students. I was also on a daytrip to Ottawa. It was a well organized trip. I got to know the capital city of Canada. It was a very good day. I had a great time in Montréal. I had the chance to meet people from different countries and different cultures. I made a lot of new friends. I will never forget this time.

Hi, My name is Lina Laguna and I'm from Colombia , I am studying in GEOS Montreal and I can tell that it is one of the most exciting and incredible experience I never have. The school has excellent teachers that make you funny the experience of learn a foreign language. Montreal is an amassing city and all days you have an activity to enjoy. Located in downtown give you the opportunity to enjoy the Canadian culture and improve the english or the French, you have both alternatives taking into account that this is one of the cities in Canada that almost everyone speak both languages. I will never forget all the friends I have made from all over the world and all the things I have learn about their cultures!!!!

GEOS is an awesome school where you can learn not only the French language, but also it is a place where you can meet people from different countries and learn about their cultures.
I have made a lot of new friends and everyday I enjoy new experiences with them.

After a few classes, I realized that I became more fluent than ever in French. With its friendly environment, management and teachers, Geos has always been my number one choice when it comes to learn a foreign language.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for the great help and support you have been. My daughter Liza had a great time and enjoyed the classes. She did improve a lot and the host family Luminita Popescu was very welcoming. We can for sure recommend your school and are very pleased with the professionalism of the teachers. Thanks again.

At first, I was afraid about my trip, however, after arriving in Montreal I was glad about GEOS and I have enjoyed a lot since last July.... Another aspect is that you meet so many friends that will stay part of your life forever.

I have studied english in GEOS 3 summers. When I started my english education in GEOS I was really bad at english. Actually I was satisfied so much that I'm making my parents send my sister too. I'd say GEOS is number one

Again, thank you, Joy and Uri for all your help, it was a great pleasure to stay in Geos and to study english.
My time in Montreal is one of my biggest experiences I've ever had! Also, because of you!

All the best
