Course description

Are you looking for a more individual classroom environment? Then one-on-one or one-on-two lessons might be a great option to personalize your learning experience with Tamwood.

With private tuition, a Tamwood instructor can customize lessons to your personal language learning needs, such as focusing on specific vocabulary, skills, or interests. You can also accelerate your learning by combining afternoon/weekend private lessons with morning group lessons. Private or semi-private tuition is especially popular with executives, professionals, and those with specific English learning goals.

"Not bad"

Abdulmajeed Al Ajaji, student from Saudi Arabia

Hello. First of all thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my opinion. What I liked the most about the school is the location. It's a good location in downtown near Robson street. You can go shopping or watch a movie and it'll only take 5 minutes to walk. The teaching is good, but they should improve their teaching method, such as using body language, which is important to make the subject clearer and easier. The teachers are kind and helpful though. The homestay is perfect. Good and friendly family, unlimited internet access, and spacious room. It's really great! The only thing that I didn't like is the location's distance from home to school. It takes 40 mins by bus and skytrain so I have to pay monthly 110 CAD. I think they should have chosen a home stay near the school. In general it's been a good experience and useful for me. Abdulmajeed Thank you indeed !
