Testimonials Show

I came to Tamwood after I graduated from technical college in Japan. I have been here for 6 months and I will stay 6 more months. I think Tamwood School is the most interesting language school because the school has many activities, the staff are kind and friendly and the classes are hard but fun.

Tamwood...! WOOOOOOW! What can I say about my time there?! I don't think I'll have enough space here!, but I'll try!
Everything started after I have chosen Vancouver to study and live for a while, so my travel agency highly recommended me about a very good professional school where I could be able to develop my English skills and have the whole support of the staff. The counselor for Portuguese and Spanish speakers is Mr. Santiago Endara (soccer lover just like me!). From the moment that I entered there on my first day I already could realize that i was about to have a greeeeat time! Really cool atmosphere! In my opinion one of the strong points is the "mix" that I could find over there, I mean... Italians, Swiss, Spaniards, Germans, French, Mexicans, Belgians, Saudis, Russians, Asians... summarizing; it was possible to know a bit of different cultures and of course make new friends and hang out for a beer on the famous pub nights!!! :D

I did the "study and work" program, where I studied there for 6 months (5 on the General English and 1 on the Business English) and after, the school (Ms. Connie Ip) was in charge to help me find a job... guess what?! They helped me to get a job for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games! How huge is that?! Incredible!!! Honestly I had the best experience ever and my life would be very different if I've never had come. It has changed my life!

I can't forget to say how wonderful and kind are the teachers there! so patient and funny! And the classes are not boring at all! Even the grammar!! It's hard to believe!!! heheheheh!
I also spent an awesome time after the classes, in the "afternoon activities"... where every afternoon there's something nice to do / go! For me it was a great opportunity to make friends and exploring this amazing city!!! After my graduation, while I was working, I kept going there, once in a while, to see very good friends (including teachers and staff) and of course to play some pool!!!

I'll never forget the time that I had there! And believe me, the time flies soooo fast!
