If you are planning to study at en English language university or college or just want worldwide recognition of your English skills, you should prepare for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). The TOEFL is the most well-known and universally accepted English language proficiency test in the world. Our TOEFL Preparation Course has been specifically designed to upgrade your English skills in all areas plus provide you with the skills and practice you need to do well on the test. The course includes ten group lessons of general English plus ten private TOEFL preparation lessons each week. While the group lessons build all language skills, the private lessons focus on each skill area (listening, speaking, reading, writing) of the TOEFL. The latter involves skills and strategies for academic vocabulary building, academic reading, essay writing, independent and integrated speaking tasks, note-taking and more and are customized to the student’s individual needs. As in all of our courses at English Encounters you also receive a weekly self-study package, which includes additional test-preparation exercises for all skills. All these, plus regular Practice Tests ensure students will have what it takes to achieve a great TOEFL Score!

Burlington, en stad på 166 000 människor, är en underbar plats att bo och studera engelska. Det ligger i södra Ontario på norra stranden av Lake Ontario mellan Toronto och Hamilton. Det är ett mycket säkert område med hög levnadsstandard.
Vi är ett litet och vänligt språkcenter inom gångavstånd från sjön, parken och strandpromenaden, stranden, ett stort köpcentrum, restauranger och pubar samt buss- och järnvägsstationen. Det är mindre än en timme till Toronto eller Niagara Falls med tåg eller bil.
Enligt MoneySense, en ledande livs- och investeringstidning, är staden Burlington den bästa staden för att bo i Greater Toronto-området och näst bästa i Kanada! Du kan läsa hela artikeln på MoneySense-webbplatsen.

First of all in my opinion, the location of this school was perfect . The school is located downtown in a small city called Burlington on the shore of Lake Ontario. It was really nice to cycle every day to school.
The school has 5 classes and I had the opportunity to take lessons with 4 different teachers. We were a maximum of 9 students per class. The teachers are really serious in their work but also in their friendships. They create a pleasant atmosphere in the classroom and give students confidence. My schedule was from 9.00 am to 2.10 pm everyday except on Friday from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm.
We had homework everyday. This helps you learn. We followed a textbook with articles very interesting. We had time to talk each morning about what we had done the afternoon before.
We also had the opportunity to socialize with different students outside of school. In my case, I went to a pub, then watched an outdoor movie and I went to a salsa dance party.
The only thing that I noticed negatively was the difference of level between the students. Some of them were in a lower level and I was surprised to have them in the same class as me. I guess their level were too high for the other classes.
Regarding my hosting, I was really lucky to meet Julie. Julie lives alone and we are around the same age, so our relationship was easy and friendly. She took good care of me. Over the week-ends, I went with her and another student kayaking in a lake.
I went to a BBQ one day to her friends house and another day to visit Niagara on Lake and Niagara Falls.
my english learning experience is really good, i really enjoyed learning to speak english at this school. they are super welcoming and very nice, the lessons are very easy to understand and, they use all means to make us understand the lessons and help us to talk. i am really happy to have attended this school really thank you.

It helped to improve my English. The teacher is a very respectful person. The place is cozy and the location is not bad. However, I really think that the fees don't suit the hours of the course. I found it a little expensive.

I enjoyed my stay in Burlington. I like English Encounters very much. The teachers were very cool and easy-going. If you had some questions, the teacher always helped you and explained everything. The sizes of the classes were very good I think (up to 8 people).
Burlington is a very nice city, where you can feel very safe. There are a lot of activities to do in your free time. You can visit the Niagara Falls, visit Toronto, the Hamilton Falls, a lot of Outlet Stores, or just stay in Burlington at the Lake Ontario and much more. I am very happy having been to English Encounters. I met a lot of great people from everywhere around the world, and I had the best teachers in my life.
