18 July 2023
Course: Young Adult Summer Camp - 2 weeks
Student age: 15 years
I particularly liked the location of the school. It is very central and easy to reach. The school also offers free activities several times a week. I chose this school again because I had a great experience with it a few years ago. I was there for 2.5 weeks and had great teachers. My English improved a lot during that time and the lessons were fun. This time, too, I had two great teachers who were attentive to the students and provided assistance. Overall, you get a warm welcome at the school and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Course: Intensive 30 - 2 weeks
Student age: 36 years
The different campuses are relatively close to each other, separated by only short walking distances. Every two weeks there is a Writing, Reading and Listening Test, which gives students the opportunity to see their current level and proceed to the next level. The teachers take good care of the students if they have problems and can also give relatively good advice on IELTS or the Cambridge exam. If you want to change course, to a different teacher or from Intensive English to Business English, this is possible without any problems at the front desk. The activities are organised by the "Green Team", with some events being exclusive to ILAC and others taking place together with other schools in Vancouver. Right at the beginning, you are invited to the welcome party, where you can get to know the students who are also new to the school. You also get free chicken wings and a beer. The various parties, such as the Halloween party or the Christmas party, are always a highlight and free for ILAC students.
5 December 2022
Course: Cambridge Exam Preparation CAE - Intensive Program - 11 weeks
Student age: 19 years
In the school, consideration is given to the individual strengths and weaknesses of the students. This enabled me to improve in the areas relevant to me. The small class size has made a decisive contribution to my progress and I would definitely visit the school again. To get the best experience, you should take part in some activities, especially at the beginning. The organisation of the language course was very quick and straightforward and if any questions arose, I always received an answer very promptly.

20 February 2019
Course: Academic English (Part-time/Morning) - 20 weeks
Student age: 19 years
The quality of Professor Angela Reynolds's classes.
There are two problems that must be corrected: 1) teachers, despite the same content, are totally different, generating a great discomfort in classes key to their learning. In my case, I had 3 teachers in one month in elective classes. What my teacher should have been from the beginning, he taught me only last week. And the latter, who would be the teacher, was the one I liked the most. 2) Teachers training, along with their main teacher, in my case 1 week with Prof. Nathan, Main Class, made the class fall quality, causing much dissatisfaction. Teacher training cases should be reviewed so they do not mess up who really wants to learn.

Course: General English - Intensive Program - 8 weeks
Student age: 18 years
Administration, teachers, syllabus, the schedule, location of the school and everything.
I really liked the GRADUATION DAY! It really works! Students love to see their classmates getting their Certificates.
Suggestion: Could it be possible to open Courses of Canadian Culture every month?
So students can practice pronunciation, besides learning grammar and vocabulary.
This is because most older people have 2 or 3 week vacation a year.
6 September 2018
Course: General English Morning 20 - 2 weeks
Student age: 61 years
The teachers were nice, sincere and always helped when there were problems.
2 August 2018
Course: English Language Course (Part-time/Morning) - 4 weeks
Student age: 19 years
The teachers were very kind, they spoke clearly, they were also very dynamic. The topics the teachers used were very useful and I learned a lot. I also loved the way I was welcomed, the staff were so nice and I really felt as if I was already studying there for a long time ago, because of the good vibe I felt. It was a very nice experience
It would be nice that in the graduation day they would hire a professional photographer, because I missed a nice memory of that day
