What Our Students Say

Mi experiencia en Quest estuvo llena no solo de lecciones de inglés sino de actividades memorables outdoor en las que pude conectar con personas estupendas de Japón y Surcorea mayoritariamente. El staff de profesores y líderes es muy variado, cada uno con sus propias metodologias de enseñanza que con el pasar de los días tienen su efecto en el proceso de aprendizaje.Mención especial a Caroline por su hermosa energía que me despertaba siempre y a Luis por su escucha y por garantizar que su nicho de estudiantes latinos se sienta cómodo en el proceso todo el tiempo.
Si estas buscando una excelente escuela de ingles en Toronto, QUEST es la mejor opción, tienen excelentes maestros, el área administrativa siempre te ayudan hacer más fácil tu estadía allá, Luis súper amable, siempre al pendiente de todos los estudiantes latinos.Todas los Maestros son increíbles pero Carolyn, la mejor, sin duda!! Es una persona hermosa, llena de alegría, creatividad, las clases siempre eran divertidas y explica de maravilla, hace unido el grupo, las horas pasan volando con ella.Les recomiendo contratar el HOME STAY directo con la escuela, porque te buscan hogares acogedores y no tan lejos, como lo hacen las agencias de México, Leo el mejor para encontrarte el Home Stay ideal.Estudie 2 meses alla, creo que fue poco tiempo, pero regrese muy contenta de la experiencia que vivi.

영어를 처음배워보는 저도 영어에대한 자신감 많이얻었어요!! 선생님들도 너무 미인미남이시고 모르면 알기쉽게 차분하게 천천히 설명해주세요. 여러나라 친구들 사귀기도 좋고 특히 한국매니저쌤 너무 이쁘시고 친절하시고 사적인일도 학원일도 많이 도와주싶니다!!! 여러학원 트라이얼했다가 퀘스트 선택해서 연장까지하고 진짜 추천해요!!!
Great place to learn English and meet people from many countries

Its a very good school and they really care about each student. The classes are very dynamic and fun, and people are very friendly with each other.
The best choice I ever made was studying at Quest! My experience there was simply the best I could have had.I really miss everyone there. They always care about the students’ experience and the entire study and learning process there. All the activity options they chose for the students are AMAZING and cheap.Thank you Charmaine, Richard and Leticia for always being there to help me when I needed it. I’ll always be grateful for everything you did for me. Love you all
I couldn’t have chosen a better school. The teachers are incredible and they really make learning fun and exciting. The staff are some of the nicest people I’ve met. I’m forever grateful for all the memories I’ve made and the great friends I’ve met. Thank you Quest!!
I am very pleased to have chosen Quest as a school in this first moment of life in Canada. The teachers and staff are awesome in a very welcoming environment and with the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world.
When I was studying there I felt so happy, all the time! A lot of friends, great teachers and nice people that work there at the administration and at the reception. Was the best experience I’ve ever had! The Halloween and the Christmas will be always on my memories, was the best 3 months of my life! ❤️❤️
Parabéns a todos da Quest que estiveram presentes na palestra realizada no Hotel Blue Tree Manaus. Sucesso a todos.
Couldn’t ask for a better English school in the whole world. I had an amazing experience there. I miss everybody from Quest. From the teachers to the activity leaders, I’ll keep the memories close to my heart ❤️
No tengo palabras para describir mi experiencia en Quest… ¡Fue increíble! Cada clase fue especial, cada maestro es tan amable y dedicado con su clase, el staff siempre está para apoyarte en todo, hice tan bonitas amistades que durarán por siempre. Tanto las clases como las actividades que organizan fuera de horario de clase te permiten integrarte de una manera orgánica con cada uno de tus compañeros que después se vuelven tus grandes amigos.Si están buscando una escuela de inglés, ampliamente les recomiendo Quest. En mi curso yo tomé clases de grammar y oral con electivas por 6 meses y fue la mejor decisión, cada una de mis clases se complementaban totalmente, puedo decir que quedé muy satisfecha con mi aprendizaje. 😊Si tienes oportunidad de entrar a Quest, ¡No la desaproveches!🤓Richard es mi maestro favorito, por cierto. 😊
My best choice. I am grateful. I recomend This School.
The best school without doubt. All the staff is amazing, they create an atmosphere full of respect for all cultures. During the time I spent here I was very happy, I couldn’t have learned more in another place, it was the best experience of my life ❤️
Quest is a family-owned and managed school. The owners are very actively involved in the success of their students!
I truly recommend this language school if you ‘d like to get a chance to talk with people from all around the world and learn their culture. Staffs and teachers are ardent and respectful to students(at least people whom i met). The atmosphere of this school is warm and peaceful. If you are a conative person, you’ll get a lot of help in speaking.
여기서 3개월 간 App course 수강 했었습니다. 좋은 교사와 정말 좋은 교육 시스템을 갖추고 있습니다. 특히 지루할 수도 있는 아카데믹한 영어 수업도 정말 재미있게 들을 수 있습니다. 영어 실력 향상을 원하시면 이곳을 반드시 추천해드립니다.
Since the first time I walked into that building, I felt welcome and safe. The school is great, full of people ready to learn and efficient and kind employees. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to study. They have an amazing organization with different and dynamic classes.
It’s been such a good experience and great time in Quest!
I really strongly recommend it to all international students!!!
A Quest foi um divisor de águas em relação ao inglês. Eu morria de medo de fazer um intercâmbio mas nos primeiros minutos na Quest o medo foi embora e vi o quanto eles tornariam mais “facil” meus estudos lá. Eles fazem de tudo pra que vc se sinta acolhido, as instruções são claras, o ensino é dinamico, tem atendimento no seu idioma caso precise, enfim, uma escola realmente diferenciada.Não posso deixar de ressaltar 2 pessoas que foram fantasticas comigo e merecem um reconhecimento especial: a Leticia, que foi muito paciente, atenciosa e me ajudou em absolutamente tudo quando eu tive problemas com um documento. Realmente ela fez toda a diferença naquele momento que já estava sendo tão dificil pra mim.A outra é a prof. Sujata. Que professora INCRIVEL!!!! Sempre paciente, tentando tirar nosso melhor em todo o tempo, tornando a aula leve, divertida e dando o máximo de si pelo nosso aprendizado. Enfim, eu amei a Quest e indico muito!!!!
I came to this school to prepare myself for a College test. All the school’s efforts were made for my aproval. I’d like to thank for all english skills that i achieved in this school. I’m studying now just to complete my english program here and when i finish i’ll go back to Brazil. I’ll move to Canada to start my college next year. I am so glad and thankfull for this time here at Quest in Toronto. The learning methodology and teaching materials are really nice. Also, in my opinion, the teacher’s team catchs my attention with their intelectual preparation, dynamics and simphaty. They’re very funny and we end up learning easly. Quest team encourages us to do our best all the time. THANK YOU Quest for everything you do for me. I will never fotget these moments.
The best school to learn or improve your English ! I studied at Quest for 6 month and my experience there was amazing. The teachers, the staff, classrooms are amazing!!
