Meilleurs écoles de mandarin dans Montreal : trouvez des options près de chez vous

Je n’irai jamais plus faire de test dans ce centre.
Je commence par l’organisation, j’ai été placée dans un bureau à 0 m de l’examinateur et les candidats venait chez elle à plusieurs reprises pour poser des questions. Je voyais tout, j’entends tout, et celà m’a bien évidemment déconcentré. Tout le monde sait qu’il faut un niveau de concentration maximal pour ces tests de langue.
Pour l’ergonomie, si je pouvais, j’allais clairement mettre 0 étoile. Leurs chaises ressemblent à des tabourets, on ne peut même pas s’adosser. J’ai eu terriblement mal au dos. Et pour des tests qui durent entre 2 et 3 h, l’ergonomie de la chaise est OBLIGATOIRE.
Mon poste était tellement sale et poussièreux qu’il m’a fallu nettoyer avec un mouchoir avant de pouvoir le toucher.
Pour résumer, entre les bruits autour et le manque d’ergonomie, toutes les conditions sont réunies pour risquer ne pas avoir le score idéal pour son test.

Fue mi primera vez en ALC y fue una buena experiencia. La gente es amable y me anima mucho, e incluso ofrecen cursos de preparación para los exámenes. Ahora solo espero obtener mis resultados.

I did my TEF exam at ALC and I was nervous but the staff were kind, helpful and patient . I want to give a big thanks to all the teachers and front desk receptionists for a good experience for my exam. I will most definitely return for classes.

Paid over $900 for classes and the teacher always started the classes 30 mins late, finishing 30 mins early, and they guaranteed that I would be prepared for the French class, which they failed because the classes are very basic. Don’t recommend this school at all.

Ce centre m’a volé de l’argent. Ils ont fait tout pour que je ne réussisse pas l’examen avec le score nécessaire. En arrivant en premier, j’ai entendu dire qu’il fallait aller directement passer l’oral, au lieu de l’écoute, qui est normalement la première épreuve. J’ai attendu 1,5 heure, les gens venaient et repartaient. J’ai commencé à poser des questions à mon sujet en voyant qu’ils appelaient des personnes qui avaient déjà terminé l’écoute… on m’a dit de me taire et que, de toute façon, c’était mes problèmes que mon examinateur n’était pas venu. Il s’est avéré qu’on m’avait simplement oublié. Ensuite, l’examinateur Karim m’a inscrit sur sa feuille (je pense que si je n’avais pas demandé, je serais resté là à attendre). L’examen s’est très mal passé, l’examinateur a ri de certaines de mes phrases. J’ai quand même essayé de me maintenir. Ensuite, pour me déstabiliser, il a glissé une feuille avec une phrase écrite qui n’avait aucun rapport avec la conversation pendant que je répondais, ce qui m’a un peu déconcerté.

Lors de l’écoute, on m’a placé près de la porte (il y avait beaucoup de places, mais je suppose que l’attitude envers moi était déjà mauvaise), et pendant la moitié du temps, quelqu’un parlait fort près de la porte.

En conséquence, j’ai perdu quelques points dans chacun de ces sections pour obtenir le résultat souhaité… Je ne sais pas pourquoi j’ai eu une telle attitude envers moi, car j’étais déjà stressé à propos de cet examen important. J’ai commencé à avoir l’impression que cela venait de ma nationalité ou de la couleur de ma peau, mais je ne veux pas y croire

Pésima experiencia, me robaron 450 dólares y se sintieron orgullosos de hacerlo. Très mauvaise expérience, ils m’ont volé 450 dollars en étant fiers de le faire. Really bad experience, they robbed me 450 dollars and were proud to do it.

Tell me what’s your solution in the comments? I’m still here listening. I don’t think I slammed the door, ofc I was upset and wasn’t going to stay in a place all they’re saying was “you have to pay a new 450 and you’ll lose your place today” because that’s all what you have been repeating ever since. Or please tell me what is your solution, call me, text me, send me an email, give me a rendez-vous, give me a solution please.

P.d.: Now I would like to see if you have a video of me slamming the door, this is the thing, I feel like some of you don’t want to come to solutions but attribute responsibilities to others and I just don’t feel this is the most profesional we can be.

J’ai bien aimée car tout c’est bien passé et j,étais stressée mais les gens ici sont très gentiles.

I’ve been taking lessons with Hilary from Global Lingua for the past 8 weeks, and I couldn’t recommend the experience more highly. As a professional who needed to prepare for important work presentations in English, I was looking for someone who could help me build confidence, improve fluency, and make my message impactful. And that’s exactly what I found.

Hilary adapted each session to my needs and interests, which made the conversations not only useful but also genuinely enjoyable. She didn’t just correct grammar and pronunciation — she gave me valuable feedback on how to structure and deliver my presentations in a way that was clear, natural, and engaging for an English-speaking audience.

What I appreciated most was her flexibility, her active listening, and her willingness to help me prepare content that was directly relevant to my work. I’m very grateful for the support she gave me during this period.

Plus, Global Lingua offers a very user-friendly platform that makes it easy to book, reschedule, or adjust lessons to fit a busy schedule — a big plus for professionals.

All in all, a 5-star experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent service professionnel de Mme Mélanie Chaput! Je n’ai que de bons mots pour elle. Fiable, toujours au rendez-vous. Une relation de confiance a été établie entre elle et moi créant, de ce fait, un environnement sécurisant et prompt à l’apprentissage. Mme Chaput est ouverte d’esprit, compréhensive, aidante et très dévouée! Ces interventions sont excellentes. Elle répond aux questions sans jugement et s’assure que l’étudiant.e a bien compris. Bien structurée et disponible lorsque j’avais quelques enjeux de conflits d’horaire. Lorsque j’ai fini les cours, j’ai réussi avec brio TOUS mes examens ÉLS de la fonction publique dès le premier essai. Merci pour cet excellent service qui m’a permis d’obtenir l’emploi de mes rêves! Je recommande vivement cette enseignante!

I’m currently taking French classes with Élodie Marina and it’s been a great experience. She’s very calm, kind, and patient. I was struggling a lot at the beginning, but she really helped me improve. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn French.

I completed the OQLF prep course with Mélanie Chaput. It was a good course, with as much or as little as you could handle. It had lots of tips and strategies to build your skills. She was great at tailoring the learning to my level, and offering extra exercises etc when I asked for them. I passed the OQLF exam after 32 (30 min) classes, doing all the homework and immersing myself in the French language.
Thank you Mélanie!

Ma professeure est Hilary Bauman – de mon point de vue c’est la meilleure ! Ses cours sont bien construits, intenses, on apprend bien, et c’est surtout très amusant ! Je pense avoir fait beaucoup de progrès grâce à elle. Patience et douceur. Merci encore à elle et Global Lingua de me l’avoir fait rencontrer 🙂

Had the pleasure of being taught by Elodie for a few months at Global Lingua to improve my French. She was a great teacher! You can tell she loves doing it. She made me feel comfortable and was patient if I didn’t grasp things right away. Wish I could have kept going with the lessons. Would definitely recommend this course and Elodie to other students looking to learn French! Thanks so much Elodie! Gonna miss our sessions 🙂

Global Lingua is a great way to practice and improve your English! The platform is super flexible, professional, and really effective. Big shoutout to Yashar, he’s great teacher at making you feel confident when speaking. Great job!

⚠️‼️WARNING READ BEFORE ENROLLING‼️⚠️

Throughout the course, I’ve consistently noticed that only a few students are chosen to read aloud or speak, while the rest of us are left with minimal participation. As someone who already struggles with speaking and reading aloud in my native language, I joined this program hoping for a supportive and encouraging learning environment. Unfortunately, this was not the case.

When I did get the chance to speak, I was often cut off after only a few sentences and made to feel as though my efforts weren’t good enough. I found this extremely discouraging — especially considering that learning a new language naturally involves making mistakes. Isn’t that the whole point of attending French lessons?

Additionally, much of the class time was spent reading from a textbook without first learning or understanding the vocabulary, which made it difficult to follow and engage. Despite the fact that the lessons lasted three hours, I often had less than 20 minutes of actual speaking time. This structure made it nearly impossible to develop my conversational skills.

What’s most frustrating is that this course cost $600. For such a significant investment, I expected a much higher standard of instruction, more interactive lessons, and an inclusive approach where all students are given a fair chance to participate and improve.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend this program to anyone. I feel that I did not receive the value, support, or learning environment that was promised or expected.

TLDR:
With two months under an amazing teacher and one month with a less satisfactory one, I have felt my French level increase significantly, and I would recommend this school to others who have the time and money.

I spent three months learning French here, taking full-time morning classes (from Débutant 3 to Intermédiaire 2). I had an absolutely fabulous time learning the language with Laurence, and my review would be five stars if I had only been with her. However, during my second month, I felt a drop in quality with another teacher—Julius—whom I found to be a lovely person, but whose pedagogy did not work for me or my classmates. I would rate that month maybe 2.5–3/5 stars. I have heard that the other teachers I didn’t get a chance to take a class with are also fantastic. Besides that, and one frustrating encounter with an impolite, old, grumpy man in the administration, I found my time studying French here to be quite pleasant. I have noticed significant improvements in my ability to speak and converse in French, though I still feel far from fluent. That being said, if you have the time and the money, I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their French skills.

Merci beaucoup YMCA!

My husband and I have been studying French at the YMCA for several months and we are very happy with the quality of instruction. Most of our teachers have been excellent, particularly Maria, Julius and especially Rosalie. Highly recommend the Y for language learners in Montreal!

Had some really good teachers, but it’s a mixed bag for sure. One star rating is for the administration – they don’t care about the student experience, they just want your $$! Best to go somewhere else that is responsive to feedback & care about your experience.

Je suis très satisfait des cours d’anglais que j’ai suivis à distance. J’ai trouvé mon professeur très compétent, patient et à l’écoute. L’approche interactive et humaine rend l’apprentissage agréable. Je recommande vivement ce programme à toute personne souhaitant progresser dans une ambiance conviviale et professionnelle !

Très satisfaite des cours d’anglais privés reçus pour mes 2 enfants. Ils ont adoré les cours et la prof. Je pense à réitérer l’expérience au niveau suivant.

Super école! J’ai récemment pris des cours de mandarin à l’école de langue avant un voyage et j’ai adoré mon expérience. Le professeur était professionnel et créait une belle ambiance dans le cours. Je recommande fortement cette école!!

This is place to go to learn French and many other languages. The staff is very professional and the instructors are well prepared.

As a language instructor at Berlitz for the last 14 years and a former French student here, I can honestly say that this school is the best in my experience. I’ve taught and studied at other schools, and there is no comparison. Berlitz has the best method, most knowledgeable instructors, and the friendliest customer service staff. Private classes are always tailored to the students’ needs, and the group classes provide a fun, exciting way to learn and improve (and make new friends).

I really love Berlitz! The teachers are all very good (I have had 3 different ones so far) and the learning process is easy and effective. I have made great strides in my French all thanks to Berlitz. The teachers are very good at making sure you understand a concept, and if you don’t they will work on that concept with you. The material Berlitz provides to learn from is clear and keeps your experience in whatever language you want to learn in mind. My French has vastly improved since I started Berlitz, all at a rapid pace but slow enough that I don’t gloss over any concepts. Berlitz really focuses on speaking and listening which is very helpful. You can practice real-world conversations with your teachers. In the material Berlitz provides they have a CD that has many scenarios of people talking and you listen to those conversations and answer questions about them. This particular method had proven very helpful in day-to-day life. Berlitz is a wonderful program.

J’ai adoré mon expérience à Berlitz! Je recommande à 100% cette école pour apprendre l’anglais ou tout autre langue ! L’accueil et les profs sont extraordinaires et aux petits soins ! Les cours sont vraiment bien faits, majoritairement de l’oral ! Je me sens vraiment plus à l’aise !
Hâte de poursuivre!
Merci à tous !

I am currently taking French lessons and I have never been this satisfied with a language course before. It is a professional and a comfortable environment, and the learning experience is really fun. The schedules being flexible is just wonderdul as well. I recommend this place to all levels!

I continue my Level 4 French Private course. It really helps. There is more stuff in it and I feel I improve more in reading, listening and speaking. I hope I can start to use more in day to day life after level 4.
It is a good place to learn French. I recommend this Private course if your company pay for it or you pay for yourself.

The Berlitz method and quality of instruction makes all the difference! Classes are fun and interactive. You learn a language naturally and quickly. One level of Spanish was all I needed to be able to understand native speakers and communicate in short sentences. I loved my face to face classes and really enjoyed the convenience of a virtual class in real time with a Berlitz Instructor!

“The time at EC Montreal is the biggest surprise and the warmest experience in my life.” ❣️

I really appreciate the time I spent here, take both French and English classes, and have fun with students around the world. The friendships I’ve made here are invaluable and unforgettable. I will always cherish these memories. Thanks Montreal for an incredible journey.✨

A big shout-out to EC Montreal for young achievers program!

We are very happy to have joined in during unlimited teachers’ strike in Quebec. Guys, I am serious, in winter, with no secondary school (and no school sport either), it is a life-saver. Your teen will be busy (mornings and some afternoons) and involved in a number of useful tailor-made age-appropriate activities.
At EC Montreal they know really well what they are doing. Kids are super happy because of all the language and social activities (in class and out), they get involved in some projects. They can travel with the school, as well.
New friends, a lot of English (or French, take your pick), great location downtown, technology in class, professional teachers and a lot of enthusiasm and love to what they are doing.
Now we are thinking about summer vacation with EC Montreal.
Highly recommend!

During my 6 months there, i had a really great time meeting people and going to classes, i did french and english classes. The staffs are very comprehensible and will help you with anything you need. Every week we had funny activities in the student lounge, which gives us the opportunity to practice our english and french and also make new friends. I hope i can come back and enjoy the time with you guys again!

EC Montreal. When I decided to study abroad, I was thinking to find a school to study English and French. So I started to do some research to find that school. In addition to studying two languages, my expectations were to make friends and to visit different places in Canada. Among the many options I had to choose from, fortunately I made the best decision. Of course, I chose EC Montreal. To my surprise, EC Montreal is much more than I expected. All staff members, each in their own way, helped me to feel at home. During my journey, I found new colleagues and made new friends, who were very helpful in building up my knowledge day after day. I can’t forget to say that TNT Tour and all their staff (Jhonny, Aura, Brian and all) were very important too.
In my opinion, studying abroad is more than studying a new language. You learn about the culture, values, traditions, and other things about that place. In Montreal, I could learn much more than just about the city or the country itself; I could learn about different cultures in the same place, because we can find the world in this city. Surely, this isn’t a dream – in the same space we work together with people from Asia, Europe, Africa, South America and North America. It is really enriching to live in a place where people from all over the world work together and live in safety.
I am thankful to all the teachers, staff, colleagues and all students that I had the opportunity to meet and become friends with. For the team at the office – Leidy and Gaby – you are wonderful. I thank you very much for your patience and competence in helping all the students. Renne, you are such a focused and amazing professional; I appreciate you very much. Ana, I am proud of you, because you are extraordinarily professional. My English and French teachers that I had the privilege of learning from (Seerat, Zeina, Julio, Olga, Katrina, Sean, Fatiha) were all very important in my journey. I would like to say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for your helpfulness and care.
This isn’t a goodbye; see you soon!
If you are thinking studying abroad, I recommend you the EC Montreal.

Estudei francês nessa escola, excelentes professores, excelente estrutura e apoio aos alunos, atendimento individual, a maioria dos funcionários falam inglês e francês então fica mais fácil a comunicação. Tem muitos passeios organizados para outras cidades e lugares turísticos.

Being at EC Montreal is an unforgettable experience, you meet many people from different countries and learn new things every day. I recommend studying at EC Montreal because they teach in innovative ways, the teachers are fun and the facilities are great

Estive na EC Montreal Fazendo Frances por 3 semanas….Entrei no Nível Iniciante porem em 3 semanas acredito que minha evolução foi muito Boa. Fiz amigos de vários países que vão ser pra vida toda. Professores Muito Bons. Escola Muito Boa! Recomendo…A Escola faz atividades para os alunos durante a semana e tem convenio com uma empresa de passeios da cidade. Gostei demais e quero voltar logo se possível. 🙂 Um Abraço a todo o staff da escola. 🙂

Very good language school! The staffs are nice and supportive. Wenny is very supportive and helpful with all the admin work! The teacher Wissem is very very good! Highly recommended! I passed the OQLF exam within 3 months by taking the private course.

这所法语学校真是太棒了！首先，学校的教学质量非常高，老师们都非常专业且耐心，他们不仅拥有深厚的法语知识，还能以生动有趣的方式进行授课。其次，学校的课程设置非常合理，既有基础课程，也有高级课程，能够满足不同水平学生的需求。学校还提供丰富的课外活动，如法语角和文化交流活动，让学生在轻松愉快的氛围中学习法语。此外，学校的学习环境非常好，教室宽敞明亮，学习设备齐全，给学生提供了一个舒适的学习场所。总之，这所法语学校无论是在教学质量还是学习环境方面都无可挑剔，非常值得推荐！

I took a 2 months’ course for TEF oral exam preparation. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. The teacher Rédoine taught very well: it was fun and effective. We were given plenty of time to practice and improved a lot.

As for the environment, it’s a tiny school but it didn’t bother me as long as the ambiance is relaxing and genuine.

老师教得不错，跟着Eli老师真的能学到东西！！上了三周听力保过班就去考了，本来以为要再来一次 ，结果遇到了蛮多机经里的题……就很幸运的过了 ‍♀️
另外课后服务其实也还可以，基本上和教务老师联系就会帮着解决问题。

The teacher’s vivid and effective explanation in the oral class attracted me very much and gave me the confidence to speak French. The content of the course is very helpful for me to take the TEF exam. The prices of the courses are also very reasonable. When I have any requirements, I can communicate with the teachers of learning management at any time, and they always find a good solution for me.

J’ai fait de gros progrès lors de mes études à Jade. Merci beaucoup pour l’enseignement patient et de qualité de Sandra et Patrick. Sandra a conçu ses cours avec beaucoup d‘ingéniosité et Patrick m’a donné de nombreux conseils sur le français oral. Je suis très heureuse de les rencontrer. Merci aussi à Xiaojia qui est gentille et organise si bien le cours.

加德的课程效果显著，上了一个多月的听力和口语课程随后就去参加考试，很顺利都通过了。学习的内容都很实用，感谢Eli老师和加德学院的指点和帮助！

Je prends des cours avec Anna depuis des mois, ce fut une expérience formidable. Elle est en mesure d’offrir des horaires flexibles pour s’adapter à mon emploi du temps. Anna parle couramment le français et l’anglais si vous avez besoin d’explications dans l’un ou l’autre.

I have been taking class with Anna for the months, it has a great experience. She is able to offer flexible hours to accommodate my schedule. And Anna is fluent in French and English if you need explanation in either.

Anna est une enseignante formidable! Grâce à sa méthode d’enseignement, j’ai progressé à une vitesse impressionnante et ce, tant dans la lecture que dans la conversation. Si vous voulez apprendre le mandarin, n’hésitez pas, je vous recommande fortement ses services!

I have been taking private Mandarin lessons with Anna for a couple of years now. She has been very flexible with my busy work schedule. Her lessons are virtual, private or group classes and she provides plenty of material to allow each of us to learn as fast or slow as we need. I already recommended her to many of my friends and colleagues.

Cela fait maintenant quelques mois que je fais des cours avec Anna en ligne et je suis ravie! Les cours sont bien structurés avec beaucoup d’exercices différents pour bien apprendre ( dictée, diction, répétition, mémoire, jeux de rôle). Anna est très patiente et très flexible également dans les horaires ( pour les cours particuliers). J’ai pu beaucoup progresser en quelques mois grâce à sa pédagogie!

Merci Anna, xiexie ni!

Je suis des cours de mandarin avec Anna depuis un an. Anne offre des cours de groupe et des cours privés de différents niveaux. Elle communique clairement, et maîtrise parfaitement le français et l’anglais. Elle adapte son enseignement selon les besoins des étudiants. Ses cours sont bien structurés et agréables. Ils sont également très abordables, car les frais pour les cours de groupe reviennent à environ 15$/séance !

Je suis allée en Chine et j’ai pu constater que, grâce à Anna, je pouvais me débrouiller dans des situations de la vie quotidienne. Je recommande ses services !

My son has been taking Mandarin courses with Anna for the last few years, and I too started taking courses this year. Anna is a very effective Mandarin teacher with children and adults. She is always very punctual. Her classes are very interesting, and she has excellent teaching techniques to teach Mandarin both native English and French speakers. We feel very fortunate to have her a our teacher and I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting to learn Mandarin.

J aime beaucoup les cours avec Anna.
Elle est très patiente, les classes se deroulent de façon dynamique et le groupe progresse bien.

Highly recommended! I have been taking classes with Add Oil Cantonese for over a year now and recently finished the Beginner courses with Joey. What a great experience! The classes are so well-organized and applicable to everyday life. Joey teaches concepts in an engaging manner with lots of opportunity for students to practice both listening and speaking skills. She is so patient and encouraging, really going above and beyond for her students. I’ve learned so much in such a short time.

Wonderful language learning experience for my daughters. The online classes are well suited to their interests, lesson plans are clear and well organized. Great introduction to Cantonese with much improvement in a little over a year of classes. Highly recommend!

I completed all adult beginner levels with Joey and it was a well-rounded course all around! There is a curriculum, but if you’re curious about any particular subject, she will take the time to explain it, even going beyond and above and look up further resources. There is occasional homework to encourage regular practice. Would recommend for anyone looking to learn conversational cantonese.

I’ve been a student at Add Oil Cantonese for two years, and have learned so much! The teachers are all supportive and engaging, and the materials/curriculum are well-organized and relevant to my everyday Cantonese needs. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I started taking lessons with Add Oil/Gaa1 Jau2 at the beginning of the year 2024 and I have absolutely loved it. I am still at the very beginning of my learning path, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot in a year. I am now able to recognize some words here and there in a conversation between fluent Cantonese speakers, and I myself can say a number of very simple phrases, introduce myself, etc.

The classes are manageable even for adults with a busy working schedule. There are rarely more than 6/7 students at the same time, which permits personnalized feedback and for everyone to feel comfortable rapidly. I have looked forward to them every week.

Joey lou5si1 was my professor for the Beginner cycle and it was an amazing experience. She is ever so dynamic, cheerful and vibrant, full of funny anecdotes and always coming with colourful and engaging material. Cantonese is a spoken, living language and you need somebody who can teach you how people speak and live in Hong Kong and Guangdong. I loved my time with Joey and I am happy to be able to call her my friend now.

A rare and affordable Cantonese learning resource. I’ve taken a number of courses with Add Oil as an adult without a Chinese background of any kind. Remote online sessions on weeknights have fit well into schedules. Joey Chau in particular has been wonderful and she’s entirely the reason I’ve kept learning.

Classes like Wai-Yin’s are rare. Allow me to explain. These aren’t the Chinese school classes that your kids will dread going to – quite the opposite, actually! I was skeptical of the online format and how much could be learned but to my surprise, I’ve seen positive results! Perhaps that’s because the teaching style really focuses on what is effective for children’s learning, instead of memorizing old school passages. Wai-Yin makes these classes fun, talks about things that kids care about (pizza, stinky feet, …!), and the small class sizes ensures every student has a chance to participate and no one falls behind. Highly recommended!!

I’ve improved my English a lot while studying here. All the teachers are passionate, experienced, and kind. The best language school in Montreal! If I have the chance to study English in Montreal again, I would choose this place without hesitation.

Je viens du Pérou et en ce moment j’étudie le cours de français à LCI école de langue. Cela fait deux mois que j’y suis et j’ai beaucoup progressé. Il me reste encore deux mois et je suis sûr que je vais encore améliorer mon niveau ! Un grand merci à tous les professeurs et surtout à Urbanelis !!! Elle a été la meilleure aide que j’aie eue, elle m’a beaucoup soutenu même depuis le Pérou, et quand j’ai enfin pu la rencontrer, elle a continué à me suivre et à me conseiller pendant mon séjour à l’école. Merci Urba !!!

I had an amazing experience at LAB Montreal! The teachers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, creating a fun and effective learning environment. After a few weeks I saw significant improvement in my language skills. The cultural immersion activities, which made learning even more enjoyable. I highly recommend LAB Montreal to anyone looking to learn a new language. Five stars all the way!

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my experience at LAB Montreal, where I completed my English course.

Despite being a “renowned” institution with a high cost, my time at the school was not without its issues. While the coordinator was generally responsive to our concerns and we had some excellent teachers, we also encountered several very poor instructors. Unfortunately, it appears that the school continues to make mistakes that negatively impact students.

Months after I left Montreal, I requested numerous corrections to my certificate, which eventually included the correction of my name. However, I failed to notice a gross and unacceptable spelling error in the English language on my certificate. The word “across” was misspelled with two “C’s,” and they also misspelled the name of the school. I only discovered this error because a company I applied to notified me.

Furthermore, I reached out to the school this week regarding this issue, and a representative named Urbanelis Gomez responded to my email, stating, “there is nothing wrong with your name.” However, I had clearly mentioned that the problem was with the word “across,” which he evidently did not read, despite my providing a copy of the certificate. When I requested that he review my email urgently, he simply replied rudely, instructing me not to forward emails to the school and to contact him directly, as he was responsible for both. Again, he did not take the time to read my email properly, responded in French, and left me without a solution.

As a result, I am left with a certificate that contains a spelling error from a language school, and I have chosen not to submit it for a job application due to embarrassment. I invested a significant amount of money in this course and relocated to another country for my studies, yet I find myself without any resolution.

Given my experience, I cannot recommend LAB Montreal or its customer service. If you would like to discuss my experience further, please feel free to contact me.

Excellent service and classes. The classrooms are well equipped and the classes are with few people allowing a more pleasant interaction with the teacher and my classmates. In addition, there are all kinds of activities such as integration sessions and excursions to explore the city and its festivals.

This is a small school, without a language lab—where students would have audio equipment to practice pronunciation. Don’t be fooled by the acronym: Language Access Board!! The only immersive experience the students have is thanks to a couple of teachers who organize city excursions (at your own cost.)

Classes are small (which is good), but these seems to be a lot of Latino speakers in these small classes which means one hears Spanish in the corridors especially around the reception desk, more than English!

The worst part is that teachers are uneven in style of teaching and testing (which is bad). You may get one teacher for more than one semester, and teachers don’t seem to have any standards for levels they teach.

The level is also evaluated rather arbitrarily, without any objective scoring system. For example, if you walk in with an IELTS score of 5, they put you in level 4!!! This doesn’t get any better. One teacher may evaluate you at level 9 for communication, but another one drop you to level 6. Someone should really look into their accreditation because some of their graduates are questionable.

This school is also a trap for getting into LaSalle College. The formula for getting into LaSalle and the requirement of having to take classes with them as part of LaSalle requirements is another point that confuses.

Don’t take my word for it, look at their website, give them a call and look af their rating! Go elsewhere.

I had an amazing experience while I was learning French from scratch…great teachers, great environment, loved the outdoors activities specially in summer, and above all I felt like my investment really was worth it. I totally recommend it.

I took intro to Classical Arabic with Ms. Rania, and she makes you really work so you can carry a conversation. Arabic is not my native language, but she made reading and functional speaking easy. Her course is practical, to the point and organized. You won’t get bored, once you get out of the class, you will feel smarter! She makes sure students interact with each other, makes everyone participate. Her love for Arabic language is her passion. Lastly, she cares for her students a lot!

I’m disappointed with the English classes. They are poorly organized and I didn’t learn

My favorite college..very professional..and high level of education system

Great first day

Great College to study
