Explore English Learning in Canada
Established in 1996 by Lesley Bogue, our school has grown steadily. In 2009, we became part of the Sprachenzentrum Wöhler e.K., a respected German-based language school. In 2010, we rebranded as English Encounters, relocated to downtown Burlington, and obtained accreditation from Languages Canada and Quality English. We are also a designated learning institution, certified by the Canadian government.
Our mission is clear and straightforward: to provide top-notch English lessons, empowering everyone to speak fluently with confidence and achieve their language goals.
