Course description

There is a two-part approach to our IELTS Preparation Course. Firstly, we focus on improving the students’ English skills. Students work on vocabulary building, critical listening and reading, essay writing, and speaking. The second focus is on building test-taking skills and strategies. In addition, students take IELTS mock-exams once a week, which is a great way to build test-taking stamina and for the school to monitor the students’ progress. Students take 4 lessons per day from Monday to Friday. Students work with an experienced IELTS teacher, and the most up-to-date, effective textbooks and materials available.

Course topics

Course topics include: a morning focus on grammar and an afternoon focus on listening and speaking.

Felipe Usmari, student from Brazil

All people there received me so well. I just stayed there a week but I am sure I want to go back next year to stay more time and study at least a month. All teachers are amazing, they know how to teach us and let the class funnier.

"Amazing experience in Geos Vancouver"

Gordana Perkucin, student from Italy

I had attended a seven-week English Course in Vancouver. It was extremely nice and rich experience in different perspective. Amazing teachers and administration. All staff were readily available for everything: love and understanding like a family.
The teachers were attentive and patient for every question and inquiries of students. The result was an improvement in all aspect of the English language.
