Usually the first person students encounter both online and in person is our friendly director – Felix. A translator by profession, Felix is fluent in English, German, and Spanish and has a university degree in International Communication. Building on the strenghts of BLC (student-centred, fun, friendly, etc.), Felix modernized and transformed BLC into English Encounters. “I wanted to keep the intimate approach of the Bronte school”, says Felix, “but provide higher quality, accredited ESL training in a more modern and student-friendly location”. To that end, in 2010 Felix moved the school to a new, custom-designed facility in downtown Burlington (near malls, pubs, lake, beach, train, etc.), and improved the ESL program, now fully accredited by Languages Canada.
