School description

Tamwood International College in Toronto is located in the heart of downtown on the corner of Yonge and Eglinton streets. We are on the 14th floor and the Toronto subway system has a stop in the basement of the building. The school is a place where you can study, relax, and have fun with six large bright classrooms, a state of the art computer language lab, student lounge and kitchen.

You can learn English in Canada and meet a lot of people from all around the world. The average age of our students is around 24 years-old, however students at the Toronto English school range in age from 17 to 70. Tamwood has a strict "English Only" policy in all of its schools, which means that students are required to speak English only while in the school and on activities. This rule, combined with the friendly atmosphere at Tamwood, encourages students to get to know their classmates of other nationalities and learn English faster as they practice it with their new friends.

Tamwood's English teachers are experienced and certified English instructors with university degrees, TESOL Canada certification, and a minimum of one-year English teaching experience. Both the teachers and staff at Tamwood believe that working for Tamwood is more than just a job; it is an experience that they really enjoy every day. The teachers and staff at Tamwood care about every student and are always there to help students, to answer questions, and to make students feel welcome. Your teachers at Tamwood will do more than teach you English; they will be there to support you and guide you in your time in Canada.
