Recommendations for language schools in Toronto?
Hi everyone, I'm planning to move to Toronto soon and want to improve my English before starting work/studies. I'm looking for a good language school that's not too expensive, has small classes, and focuses on practical conversation skills rather than just grammar. Has anyone studied at schools in the downtown or midtown area recently? What was your experience with teachers, class sizes, and overall value? Also, any that offer flexible schedules or evening options?

I've taken courses at a few places in Toronto over the past couple of years, and one that stood out for practical English and friendly atmosphere was Toronto Imperial School. The classes were small (usually 8-12 people), teachers were patient and focused a lot on real-life speaking/listening rather than endless worksheets. They have flexible start dates and some evening/weekend groups, which was perfect for me since I was working part-time. Prices were reasonable compared to bigger chain schools, and the location is convenient (close to public transit). They also helped with things like pronunciation and workplace vocab. If you're considering options, it's worth checking their programs many students I met were happy with the progress they made in just a few months. Overall, solid choice if you're after something effective without the huge corporate feel.
