"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.
