Why Berlitz English works — from day one

Unlike traditional classes or language apps, Berlitz puts you in real English conversations with a live instructor immediately. No translation. No rote drilling. Just English — from your very first online session, wherever you are in the GTA. No commute into Toronto required.

Step 01

Free English placement test

Your free 20-minute online placement test pinpoints your exact English level — A1 to C2. No time wasted on things you already know. Your programme starts at exactly the right place — whether you're in Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Vaughan, or Richmond Hill, and whether you're a complete beginner or a returning learner.

Step 02

An English plan built for your goals

Career advancement in the GTA job market? Confidence in meetings and presentations? Settling into Canadian workplace culture? SLE preparation for a federal role? Your Berlitz advisor designs a custom English learning path around your specific outcome and timeline — private 1-on-1, small group, or intensive formats, all online from home.

Step 03

Student Story · Oakville, ON
★★★★★

My English was functional but I froze the moment I had to present to senior leadership or run a cross-functional meeting. Driving into Toronto for evening classes from Oakville wasn't realistic. Every Berlitz session happened from my home office. Ten weeks later I was leading those meetings with confidence. The promotion followed shortly after.

FAQ

English courses in the GTA — your questions answered

Everything you need to know before booking your free English consultation with Berlitz.

I'm in Mississauga, Oakville, or the suburbs — can I take English classes without commuting into Toronto?
+

Yes — that's exactly what our live online classes are for. Whether you're in Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, or anywhere else in the GTA, you attend live sessions with a certified Berlitz instructor directly from your home or office. Same method, same instructors, same results — no commute into downtown Toronto required.

Do I need prior English to start?
+

Not at all. We welcome complete beginners (A1) through to advanced speakers (C1+). Your free placement test — done online in about 20 minutes — determines your exact starting level. Whether you've never studied English or want to sharpen professional-level fluency for the GTA job market, we place you in the right programme from day one.

Can Berlitz help me with Business English for my career in the GTA?
+

Yes — this is one of our most requested programmes across the GTA. We work with professionals in finance, technology, healthcare, and professional services who need English for meetings, presentations, negotiations, and client communication. Every session is tailored to your industry, your role, and the specific situations where English holds you back today — all delivered live online from your home.

How long does it take to become conversational in English?
+

With our intensive online programme (30–45 hours per week), most students reach working A2 in 3–4 weeks and conversational B1 within 8–10 weeks. With regular online sessions (approx. 4 h/week), A2 typically takes 10–12 weeks and B1 around 20–25 weeks. Private one-on-one sessions can significantly cut these timelines. Your advisor will give you a realistic estimate based on your starting level and goals.

Is in-person available if I prefer a classroom setting?
+

Yes. Our centre at 141 Adelaide Street West, Suite 220, in downtown Toronto is accessible by subway from St. Andrew station and the PATH underground network. If you already commute into the Financial District for work, or prefer to combine online and in-person sessions, that's entirely possible. Your advisor can help you design the hybrid approach that fits your schedule.

Is the consultation really free? What does it involve?
+

100% free and with no commitment. A Berlitz advisor — a real person, not a chatbot — will contact you within 1 business day. In a 20-minute call, they'll discuss your English goals, your current level, your schedule, and your preferred format. They'll recommend the right programme, pace, and format. You only enrol if it feels right. No pressure, no upsell.

Can I get employer funding for English courses?
+

Possibly. Berlitz is a recognised training provider and many GTA employers — particularly in finance, technology, and professional services — include language training in their professional development budgets. Your advisor can help you understand which options apply to your situation and how to approach your employer about covering the cost.
