"Connecting"

Carla Sandfort

IQ Bamboo Language Service, allowed me to study in a friendly and welcoming environment.

A small classroom atmosphere not only allowed me to stay focus on the subject matter but to make friends and connection around the world. We laughed, discussed and analysed. Overall, I am taking away more confidence in speaking and writing English.

I would not hesitate to recommended the services and support from IQ Bamboo Language Services.

Thank you to great Memories.

"Teacher is cool(you know what I mean John)"

Edward Lu

First, personally I think the class tho very fun to have, even though the time I was be in the class is absolutely crazy and sometime do some weird things, but the teacher can tally put me under control(sometime don’t). Second I think the location is excellent which is not for me cuz I live way up to the hill, but the location still really clearly and easy to find. I think the quality of the class is pretty well done, teacher know what time should push it harder and what time should take it easy, and also I guess the student usually have a wonderful relationship with teacher which is perfect. For me, I really like the way my teacher do, he tough me a lot of things about English, and also a lot of things for Canadian culture, which is also the best for the studen specially from different country. The environment in the classroom is really quiet and clean, every time I would feel really comfortable to sit in the classroom(sometimes I don’t even want to go). And every time when I need water or some orange? Or blood orange?!, the teacher always really happy to give me, with is exactly what I want even time I walked in to the class. And now I can very closely see the different between after and before, really helpful lesson. Btw you are the best John, don’t miss me too much, you know who am I..........

"It's amazing!"

Kazunari Furuya

My wife and I didn't speak English very well but the teacher tirelessly taught English to us. And he prepared cheap text book.

We always asked him when we have some problems or how to spend our life in Canada. For example, what is the best car insurance or what should we go this weekend around our area. He became kind and helped us.
He is a very good English teacher.

"Individual approach and focus on achieving my goals"

Sergei Solodukhin

I want to say a big thank you to Giovanni De Luca, my English language mentor.
During the last few years, he has been helping me with such a hard process as studying a new language.
I feel I can always discuss what we should do in order to overcome my personal challenges, meet my needs and achieve my goals.
