  Hi, My name is Jong Min Im from Korea. I've been Vancouver for 8month. When I came to Vancouver, I didn't study English in GEOS. And it is my second school I attended in Vancouver. I think my previous school had good teachers and friends, and also GEOS has many good teachers and friends, and then they're kind and friendly. However, GEOS atmosphere is like family, because I know all of GEOS students, teachers and staffs. And then, GEOS have various course,like ESL, TOFEL, TEC, TESOL, IELTS and many others. I don't know all of course, but when I want to take another course, I could change it without any difficulty. I took TEC and TESOL course. TEC and TESOL are learning theory about how can I teaching English for children and adult. When I took that course, my English skills were terrible, but when I finished that course, i was improving my english skills. I think the location of GEOS is really good for students, because many school are very adjacent to sky train and middle of downtown, but GEOS is adjacent to the ocean and the Stanley park, so anytime we can enjoyed to hang out with friends. When I was study english in GEOS, I got a lot of confidence of using English and I made many international friends, so I was really happy about staying in GEOS. I would like to say "Thank you!"for having great life in Vancouver. Jong Min Im Korea |
