What Our Students Say

Great place to learn English and meet people from many countries
A very good language school, with good teachers and interesting classroom atmosphere, makes learning English no longer boring. Most students in the school are Japanese, as well as some Koreans and Mexicans. In the school, we can only speak English, which is very helpful to improve! Love Quest!
Great School! I studied at Quest for 1 month and i really enjoyed the experience. Quest offers good facilities and it is located in a good area of the city what allows us to enjoy the rest of the day visiting famous places of Toronto. My teachers were so good that although my shyness they let me comfortable enough to participate in class what helped me a lot to improve my english skills. Thanks to Quest and to Continentes Viagens(my travel agency in Brazil) for this trip and life experience. It was unforgettable and i recommend it.

My experience in Quest Language Studies was amazing and incredible. The contacts with others culture, other people helped me to speak more and improved my English.
Parabéns a todos da Quest que estiveram presentes na palestra realizada no Hotel Blue Tree Manaus. Sucesso a todos.
A Quest foi um divisor de águas em relação ao inglês. Eu morria de medo de fazer um intercâmbio mas nos primeiros minutos na Quest o medo foi embora e vi o quanto eles tornariam mais “facil” meus estudos lá. Eles fazem de tudo pra que vc se sinta acolhido, as instruções são claras, o ensino é dinamico, tem atendimento no seu idioma caso precise, enfim, uma escola realmente diferenciada.Não posso deixar de ressaltar 2 pessoas que foram fantasticas comigo e merecem um reconhecimento especial: a Leticia, que foi muito paciente, atenciosa e me ajudou em absolutamente tudo quando eu tive problemas com um documento. Realmente ela fez toda a diferença naquele momento que já estava sendo tão dificil pra mim.A outra é a prof. Sujata. Que professora INCRIVEL!!!! Sempre paciente, tentando tirar nosso melhor em todo o tempo, tornando a aula leve, divertida e dando o máximo de si pelo nosso aprendizado. Enfim, eu amei a Quest e indico muito!!!!
Muito Proveitosa 🤩, gostei muito da minha experiência. Todos muito atenciosos.
The best school to learn or improve your English ! I studied at Quest for 6 month and my experience there was amazing. The teachers, the staff, classrooms are amazing!! The location of Quest is in a good area of the city also they have activities every days that you can enjoy the city! Thanks to Quest for this amazing experience. Definitely i recommend it and if I have another chance of course I choose quest again!
I couldn’t have chosen a better school. The teachers are incredible and they really make learning fun and exciting. The staff are some of the nicest people I’ve met. I’m forever grateful for all the memories I’ve made and the great friends I’ve met. Thank you Quest!!
여기서 3개월 간 App course 수강 했었습니다. 좋은 교사와 정말 좋은 교육 시스템을 갖추고 있습니다. 특히 지루할 수도 있는 아카데믹한 영어 수업도 정말 재미있게 들을 수 있습니다. 영어 실력 향상을 원하시면 이곳을 반드시 추천해드립니다.
Since the first time I walked into that building, I felt welcome and safe. The school is great, full of people ready to learn and efficient and kind employees. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to study. They have an amazing organization with different and dynamic classes.

the best school , Quest was one of the best experiences in my life I would like to study at this school again because teachers and staff are very polite and they help a lot. I spent a great time thank you Quest❤️🇨🇦
Have been really helpful with my English writing skills! Much appreciation
1ヶ月の短期入学をした者です。【立地に関して】カレッジ駅から近く、コンビニなどの昼ごはんを買いに行ける店が多いため便利です。しかしクラスの校舎が二つあり、離れの教室を指定された場合2〜3分ほど歩いて移動をしなくてはいけません。【クラスに関して】11月の間は10人〜15人程、日本人が多く半数以上いました。他には韓国人やブラジル人、中国人の方がいました。これに関しては時期によって変わると思います。お昼時間は40分ほどしかないため、買い弁や食べに行く人には少し短く感じます。【授業に関して】自分のいたレベルは3でした。午前中は文法の授業を取っていなかったため9時40分からのスタート。昨日の出来事を簡単に話したりゲームをしたり動画を見て質問内容に答えたりテキストブックで授業をしたり、グループで短文作成やプレゼン等もしました。1ヶ月に一回レベルを確かめるためのテストがあり、ネット上で自分の成績をみることができます。午後は選択授業でリスニングやリーディングなど自分の強化したいものを選べます。授業の良さは担当の先生によって変わりますが、午後の授業は楽しい先生が多かったので勉強というよりリラックスして英語に触れることがメインでした。選んだレベルが1〜3の授業だったので遊びがメインだったとも言えます。15時には授業が終わり放課後は学校が主催しているアクテビティや追加の授業など選択することができます。【テキストブックに関して】短期の人はネットからテキストブックをダウンロードして見ている人が多くいました。もちろん買うこともできます。【アクティビティに関して】自分は時期的に行けなかったのですが、ハロウィンパーティやクリスマスパーティーなどありました。学校が提携している旅行会社の安く行けるバスツアーもあり、ナイアガラやニューヨーク、シカゴなどなど安い値段で行けるパッケージがあるためオススメします。自分はナイアガラで使用しましたが、他の学校の学生も入り混じったバスツアーで楽しく過ごせました。英語オンリーをセオリーにしており、日本語を話すとペナルティカードに印を付けられますが少し話したくらいではペナルティになることはありませんでした。また、ほんとに困った時は日本人のスタッフさんもいたため相談等はすることができます。大事なお知らせ(送迎時間など)は日本語でしてくれます。
I came to this school to prepare myself for a College test. All the school’s efforts were made for my aproval. I’d like to thank for all english skills that i achieved in this school. I’m studying now just to complete my english program here and when i finish i’ll go back to Brazil. I’ll move to Canada to start my college next year. I am so glad and thankfull for this time here at Quest in Toronto. The learning methodology and teaching materials are really nice. Also, in my opinion, the teacher’s team catchs my attention with their intelectual preparation, dynamics and simphaty. They’re very funny and we end up learning easly. Quest team encourages us to do our best all the time. THANK YOU Quest for everything you do for me. I will never fotget these moments.
Great teachers! I will always remember Quest!
The best choice I ever made was studying at Quest! My experience there was simply the best I could have had.I really miss everyone there. They always care about the students’ experience and the entire study and learning process there. All the activity options they chose for the students are AMAZING and cheap.Thank you Charmaine, Richard and Leticia for always being there to help me when I needed it. I’ll always be grateful for everything you did for me. Love you all
