“I started with General English Level 4. At that time I felt shy because I couldn’t say anything, but with the help of the teachers here, I can speak well. I did another class called FCE from Cambridge. I got my certificate, and I’m very, very happy about that! Then I changed to IELTS class, and there, with the help of the teachers, I got my certificate – I got the score I wanted.

“My experience at Global Village Toronto has been one of the most wonderful in my life because there, you can learn English and at the same time have a fun time with all the staff and GV students during your stay. You not only have a funny time inside your class, but also there are many activities organized by GV so you can enjoy all of them, explore the city, get to know people from other countries and the most important: learn English. Global Village is the best English school and your best option to combine learning and having fun according to the slogan: Serious Learning, Serious Fun!” - Oscari, Mexico
