Talk to an advisor
I moved to Vancouver from abroad for a tech role and needed stronger English for client presentations and team leadership. The Berlitz centre on Melville Street is a five-minute walk from my office. I did sessions before work three times a week. Ten weeks later I was presenting to enterprise clients with real confidence. My manager noticed immediately.
