Student Testimonials:

"This school was recommended to me and when I came here I liked the teacher's warmth and caring nature. He recognized my individuality and had the flexibility to teach me what I needed. I like the hands on nature of the program and the teacher's style of encouraging students and leading gently but effectively. ATC is a very welcoming, open, and respectful school. People are supported in sharing their opinions, their culture, and their dreams. There is a sense of community and belonging shared by everyone. My immediate plan is to go to Japan to teach ESL there. I may teach in other Asian countries as well." - James, Canada

"I was interested in TESOL and I came to ATC to have a chance to study ESL teacher training as well as improve my English presentation skills. The program is well organized and effective with interesting topics and activities that spice up the lessons. The school atmosphere is special and I always felt comfortable and confident at ATC. The classmates, teacher, and other staff were very kind and friendly. Soon, I'm going back to Korea and I will start to study at the university. After finishing my studies, I'm going to find a good job and I believe my life in Canada and my time at ATC will help me with my future goals. I'm happy to have my last memories of Canada at ATC!" 
- Won, Korea
