Most recent student reviews of language schools in Ottawa
Honnestly, I had a wonderful teacher Nart, always there to help us improve our level. The students were amazing, I met some really nice people from all over the world.
For the admin team, they are always there to guide us (Zahra and Alex). They are lovely. I hope to go back to the school CLLC to continue and progress in my level.
I am very satisfied and I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their English.
Thank you CLLC you are the best

Information about Ottawa
Why Ottawa? As the capital city of Canada, Ottawa is a vibrant, safe community offering visitors tradition, historic sites, monuments and beautiful parks. It is considerably smaller than other major cities in Canada such as Vancouver and Toronto, and for this reason it is often an attractive choice as it is a more manageable size and often cheaper. It still has a lively feel and should not be dismissed for its nightlife, which still beats into the early hours of the morning. Cold winters can not be escaped in Canada, so why not embrace them, and in Ottawa you can do just that with skiing, skating and even snowshoeing options to keep you entertained on a chilly day!
