When I came to Vancouver for the first time, I didn't have any vocabulary and there were no friends, so I was so nervous. However, the teachers and staff are so kind, and the classes are great!! That's why I can come every day, and I can make friends. I won't forget what I learned here and good experiences. If I hadn't chosen this school, I wouldn't have had a wonderful time!!
I really enjoyed my time in Oxford, thanks to the amazing teachers and friendly staff. Every morning, it felt welcoming to come to school. The teaching methods were dynamic and incredibly effective, and my teachers were always available to answer my questions and listen to what I had to say.
I personally consider that studying at Oxford International is a delightful experience. It offers a welcoming and friendly environment that makes learning enjoyable. The teachers and staff are nurturing and motivating, always encouraging students to do their best. I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a phenomenal and enriching experience.
