Student Story · Toronto, ON
★★★★★

My English was functional but I froze the moment I had to present to senior leadership or run a meeting with the Toronto team. Berlitz focused on exactly those situations. Ten weeks later I was leading cross-functional meetings with confidence. The promotion followed two months after that.

FAQ

English courses in Toronto — your questions answered

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

Where is the Berlitz Toronto centre located?
+

Berlitz Toronto is at 141 Adelaide Street West, Suite 220, in the heart of the Financial District. It's directly accessible from St. Andrew subway station and directly across from the PATH underground network — ideal if you work downtown. The centre has 3 modern, temperature-controlled, fully wheelchair-accessible classrooms. Paid parking is available nearby, with cafés, restaurants, and shops all around. TTC streetcar (504 A/504 B) access is also available.

Do I need prior English to join a Berlitz class in Toronto?
+

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 fluency for Toronto's job market, we place you in the right programme from day one.

Can Berlitz Toronto help me with Business English for my career?
+

Yes — this is one of our most requested programmes in Toronto. We work with professionals across finance, law, technology, healthcare, and government 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. Available in-person at our Adelaide Street centre, online, or at your workplace.

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

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

Does Berlitz Toronto offer evening or weekend English classes?
+

Yes. Our classes are available Monday through Friday with morning and evening options, and our online format offers additional flexibility including weekend sessions. Whether you work full-time in Toronto's Financial District or have family commitments, your advisor will find a schedule that fits seamlessly into your routine.

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 timeline. They'll recommend the right format, pace, and programme. You only enrol if it feels right. No pressure, no upsell.

Can I get employer funding for English courses in Toronto?
+

Possibly. Berlitz Toronto is a recognised training provider and many 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.
