Why choose OSL?
Small Classes
Maintain a teacher/student ratio of 1:3 per class. This ensures that all learners get the necessary attention they need and deserve at all times.
Outside of
a traditional
ESL classroom
Our students are coached in real-life situations and are given the opportunity to speak with locals on a daily basis. Practicing conversations with native English speakers is the best way in Canada (and the world) to learn English and to improve English speaking.
Constant & Immediate Correction
Coaches correct mistakes with grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation immediately and on-site.
Customized Lessons
OSL Coaches customize lessons according to each student's learning goals.
