Been for half a dozen student massages (a mix of 1st and 2nd year students). They were offering free massages back in March, currently it's $10.00. The clinic is only open on weekdays (Monday & Friday mornings, Tuesday & Wednesday evenings). Massages have been a mixed bag of good to mediocre. Couple tidbits worth noting: - 75 minute booking (15 minute assessment + 60 minute massage). I have been to other student massage places (cough cough WCCMT in New West) where you don't receive the full 60 minutes - If you have an evening appointment, use the buzzer (#430) to be let in. The doors lock at 6pm - Easy online booking (Janeapp) - The only way to distinguish between 1st and 2nd year students on the Janeapp is to "view availability by month" and then click into each person individually. Wish this information was visible through the normal booking layout Will keep on coming back to PCCMT if they keep the same prices.

I highly recommend Cefa Willowbrook! I just moved here from Calgary and decided to enrol my son at…read morethis location despite all the negativity surrounding the Cefa name. Mainly because I know the Cefa locations are franchises and this one has gotten best of the best for 5 years. Anyways, I cannot believe how much my 2 and a half have grown and learnt in a week and a half. They teachers are very passionate and caring and they also serve very healthy food with big portions. Lol, I was creeping up on them. Definitely check it out if you are looking for care for your children.

Great location already but the new owners are fantastic. Really care about the place. This is our…read morelast year (moving to grade school) but wish they had been there the whole time. Regular updates on our phones and email, communication on events or disruptions. These owners have started sending pictures of each kid doing an activity to their parents every day's. They email the menu for the week to all the parents. Besides the new owners being great, the place was already stellar. The meals are made on-site by a chef. No chef-boy-r-dee garbage from a can like other places. The food is cooked from scratch and made fresh daily. The kids get great meals everyday. They have the chef come by each classroom once a week and the kids make their own foods as well. This is the meal plan for this Monday as an example Morning snack : rise and shine veggie hash, served with milk and fresh fruit Lunch : beef (or tofu) and broccoli stir fry, served over wild rice Afternoon snack : carrot banana flax muffins, served with veggies and dip The location is right on the highway exit so you can drop off and get directly onto to the highway. Early dropoff @ 7am pickup @5pm no extra charge. They occasionally have date nights so parents can drop off their kids and enjoy a night together (i believe they charge 10 dollars for the evening which is very reasonable) The curriculum is amazing, very focused on the kids learning new things and having a wonder to the process. The teachers all take the time to focus on your child. Teachers know your kid even if they aren't in that teachers class. Learning is very hands on. There is an emphasis on physical activity and the playground is well equipped. We were worried initially but our kid,loved it there and has been there since 1 year old till 4 years old. All the kids are very well mannered and you can see that they are taught to be gracious to each other. Great place, the cost is a bit higher but in line with what you get in return. Teachers that are engaged with your child, fresh nutritious meals, extended hours, daily updates on your phone, web cam to peek I'm on your child in the day, amazing facility, playground and a vested interest in your child's well being. Love this place, hope the rest of my kids schools are even half as good.

I took the 6-Day Comprehensive course last month and the experience was satisfactory. Although the…read morespace was clean and bright, I found it too small of a workspace for 6 students; I think they should only accept a maximum of 4 students at a time so that it doesn't feel as cramped of a learning environment and so that more attention can be given to the students individually, especially since this particular course involves PMU for eyebrows, eyeliner, lips, camouflage techniques, and colour corrections. If it were just the 3-Day Microblading course for example, having up to 6 students at a time might be fine since it just focuses on eyebrows. Lisa, the Head of the company I believe, is extremely nice but she wasn't the main instructor and was there maybe 30% of the time, and having two instructors at different times throughout the course didn't help in terms of consistency. Teaching styles and opinions varied from one instructor to the other. I just found it difficult when one would give me feedback about what I was doing, then a few minutes later another comes along and says something different. Having said that, this course is satisfactory as a foundation and basic introduction into PMU. If I could do it all again, however, I would've just signed up for the basic 3-Day Microblading course; it would've saved me time and money, and I think 3 days in a cramped learning environment rather than 6 would've been tolerable. ps: The instruction I received is of a particular teaching style; I would recommend this course only to those who are ok with blunt honesty and constructive-verging-on-destructive criticism. I can admit that I myself am definitely not the most sensitive person, and I particularly dislike when people sugar-coat words, but as teaching methods go, I believe there needs to be a balance to suit the needs of the general public.

This is a review for the Japanese General Level 1 language course…read more Currently halfway through the course (week 4) but so far, the course has been amazing! Class size maxes out at 10 people so classes are intimate and you get to know your fellow classmates. Apparently the course still runs if minimum 2 people are registered in the course! Price remains the same but it's considered semi-private lessons and are 1.5 hours long. If 3 or more people register, it goes back to being 2 hours long. Yoshiko, our instructor, is fabulous, always making sure we understand before moving on to the next part of the lesson. Classes are a blend of conversational and writing, 60/40 mix. For the Japanese General courses, they cover two chapters of GENKI I textbook (textbook has 12 chapters, good for the first 6 levels of Japanese at IH!). By the end of level 1, we are suppose to know hiragana, katakana and also be introduced to kanji! It's no cakewalk, do expect to put in some effort but it's totally worth it! I've taken many language courses in high school, undergrad and continuing ed (e.g. french, mandarin, latin) but this course is my favorite hands down! Because the course is during November/December session, it is only 7 weeks long instead of the regular 8 weeks (due to Christmas break). Regardless, 2 chapters are still going to be covered! Price is reasonable, $195+tax and textbook if you don't have your own copy (+ $75). In regards to the admin staff, I have had no problems with them. Course registration was painless, and they were able to provide me with an official invoice/receipt for work purposes. Overall I am extremely happy with the quality of language instruction and small intimate class sizes. It's also located at a convenient location downtown, close to Stadium-Chinatown skytrain station. That being said, I'm definitely continuing on to Level 2 in the new year =D

Took an intro Mandarin course thinking it'd be an easier transition coming from a Cantonese…read morebackground. The entire operation was pretty smooth from registration through to the end of the course. Registration online is easy. However, I would recommend that they differentiate International House Vancouver (ihvancouver.com) offering more than just language training -- homestays, volunteering, work experience, etc. from the modern languages area (languages-vancouver.com). Both are based out of the same office, but becomes confusing for those looking for just one or the other. A quick assessment test over the phone pretty much determines which level you would be appropriate for. The curricula are set up so that you can progress at your own pace since it is a rolling schedule. The classes themselves are small with (based on my observation) student-teacher ratios no more than 15:1. This is essential to getting enough attention from the teacher especially in the critical level 1 classes where you're learning the foundations of a language. Classes can be as small as 3 but I've never seen classes larger than 15. The instructors (which really make up the majority of your experience with the school) are great. I've only ever had one but the quality of instruction is on par with what you'd experience at a continuing ed course at a local college or university. The program also offers instructor feedback which indicates they take their quality of instruction seriously. I'm already signed up for level 2 but I encourage anyone looking to learn or improve their language skills to give IH a good hard look. They provide solid teaching & structured learning for good value vs. other institutions in the city.
