Show details » Read more...The first day of class was a good day, which is important because it allows you to adapt to school and your classmates.
The classes are good and while you learn you can solve doubts, with the help of the teacher (teacher in my case), and then you start to solve them individually, with what you have learned, you only ask questions when you are not sure what to answer yourself. .
The environment inside the school is good, the classrooms and the place, in general, are comfortable.
I would recommend it, if i was asked.
ILSC Montreal is a great school. I could have a Great experience.

I liked the teachers, especially Mr Nicholas. His way of teaching us the lessons is incredibly methodical.
About the location, I think it’s good because it gaves me the opportunity to visit montreal
That’s all I like, I think there isn’t things that I didn’t like
Well classes were great, competent teachers, a lot of interaction during the classes and before classes, a lot of exercises and practices, the use of teaching resources and materials was so helpful. Yeah, language workshops as well were helpful.
I did like mostly the culture of welcoming and appreciating the limitations and strength of each student, patients with teachers and motivation as well. I was staying with friends so there was no problem at all with housing for me.
Over all my experience was great and I really enjoyed taking classes with ILSC.
Even though my case was a little bit special. I needed to improve or refresh my French that I didn't use since 9 years after being French educated during my school and university studies, I found that the advisor and teachers were so cooperative and they tried their best to help me achieve my goal.
Ann or Anna, I still mix between the English/French advisors names, was so helpful.
Feriel, who was teaching me the communication morning classes was extremely helpful and she's great at what she's doing.
Selma and Zahra were also great but I didn't have the chance to study in their classes except for only 1 week.
Thank you for the great service. I wish you can add vending machines for coffe,snacks, water etc.. at reasonable prices in the same floor.
Or maybe water coolers ( hot/cold ) would be a great addition.
Thank you.
I like the classrooms because they don't have many students so i think is better for the students.
My teachers always were a good teacher because they always had prepared the topics for the class and if i had a question they always helped me.
But i am in disagree with the organization in the school because sometimes they didn’t have a good accomodation with the studente for example i stay in the same level because others classrooms have too many students and sometimes in my classroom we had too many mexicans or students that speak in spanish.
To study not boringly and cheerfully, but the program is not for the lazy. The web site is good. My advisor helps me when I ask. Some offices have no curtains or jalousie from the sun. Teachers are polite, punctual and patient. Located near to the subway-OK.
