“Nathalia encouraged me to achieve beyond the average. She consistently motivated me to be better in and out of the classroom. I was taught many skills on how to improve my writing techniques, which greatly aided me in my transition from high school essay writing to university essay writing at SFU. Her knowledge and insight into the English language is unbelievable and would benefit anyone looking to improve their rhetorical skills.”

“We were very happy to find that there is a special program for younger students to try their hands at engineering in our area. Jess was not only extremely patient and kind but also found interesting and engaging ways to introduce many areas of engineering to my kids. They found the material fun and looked forward to going to each class. We hope to continue so that the boys can consistently have constructive projects to work on so that they can spend their time productively and also refine their interests for their futures. We would be happy to recommend this program to any family whose kids entertain the idea of becoming engineers one day.”

“I’m grateful for my time at Girls Cooperative this year with the instructor, Gillian, and my fellow peers. Every session was enlightening as she formed a productive work space for my classmates and I. She taught with passion, dedication, and experience in various subjects and covered onerous materials to help us progress. What is more, her love of teaching was embossed in her every move and hence it was clear that she is a compassionate, loving, and considerate individual with the will to use her valuable time to educate. I cherish my opportunity to have been present at Girls Cooperative and will take the knowledge I have gained and apply it in the future.”

“I’m relieved to have found Imane, my son’s French teacher. She is methodical and patient. Her organized way of making learning a new language fun has been instrumental in having my son look forward to his lessons.”

“Sabina is a very engaging rhetoric teacher and essay guide. Her experiences as a past IB student also allow her advice to come from a real place. Plus, she is just cool to get to know!”

“PL-ACE was responsible for teaching me English for many years, and it was nothing short of excellent. With exceptional knowledge on the subject, my Rhetorical Studies teacher helped vastly improve my writing and critical thinking skills. Not to mention, she cared for my well being and dedicated her time to help me develop as a well-rounded individual. I am very thankful for the education and life skills she provided me.”

“My younger daughter started tutoring with PL-ACE in grade 9 [and she is now in grade 11]. Namam is her English tutor. She provides creative ways of learning to encourage and motivate my child’s reading, and to dig deeper into the meanings in the stories. Jess is her Math tutor, who is patient and gentle when approaching such a “frustrating” subject. He provides resources for her to explore other fun Math and Physics related topics that align with her interests. My daughter was able to achieve an A in her Math Honours class last year. And Ms. Alvarez has been her favourite Science teacher ever! Mar has tailored all of her material to meet individual student learning needs and the richness of her professional knowledge is such an inspiration to my daughter. Of course, she is also super funny. Overall, I am very thankful for PL-ACE for supporting us with great tutors who we hope to have a long term working relationship with.”

“When I began my journey to become a Real Estate Agent, I knew I would have to write the CELPIP exam. I honestly did not know all that entailed or how to properly prepare for it. I was lucky enough to be referred to PL-ACE; we discussed the process in detail and what I would need to do to prepare for the exam. With lessons in place and amazing guidance, I was able to pass the exam with flying colours. Whether you are a student, young professional or just need to freshen up on a certain area of work or knowledge, I wholeheartedly recommend PL-ACE. You’ll feel the partnership, trust, and true connection they offer.”

“I have been a student at PL-ACE for around 7 years, and I can truly say this experience was one of the most influential in my life. Not only have they helped me develop literacy skills, but also regulate emotions, practice gratitude, and build confidence. They teach versatile lessons that can be applied both in the classroom and in the real world, which encouraged me to be a more well-rounded individual. With their guidance, I founded a non-profit environmental organisation that obtained a $1,000 grant and received early admission to both UBC and McGill. Not to mention, I was able to end my semester with a 99% in English 12. The instructors there are more than just wonderful teachers but also trusting mentors and friends.”

“What is more, prior to PL-ACE, it was difficult for me to grasp Physics concepts and I performed poorly on tests. However, my Physics teacher identified the reason behind my struggle and personalised study methods for me. As a result, I developed an intuitive understanding of Physics and completed my Physics 12 course with a 95%. My deep dislike for the subject transformed into passion, and I am now eagerly enrolled in AP Physics 1.”

“I believe a teacher's most important role is not to pass on information to a student, but to shape how that student learns and thinks. In this regard, the teachers at PL-ACE have done more than I could have expected from any other. I was a student with PL-ACE throughout my later years of high school, but I still find myself applying their knowledge two years into my university degree. I can confidently say that the knowledge and experience PL-ACE imparts on their students extends far beyond the classroom. PL-ACE has not only taught me how to write, but also why I should write. Thank you, PL-ACE!”
