Over the past few years, more and more students have been interested in advancing their career prospects by going to colleges and universities after they improve their English with GEOS.
We recently started a new session of our intermediate level IELTS elective course. The advanced IELTS elective class has been running all year and so it’s great for us to be able to offer it to intermediate level students now. For a challenging full-time option, the TOEFL iBT class is probably the best available in Ottawa. It’s hard work but really effective.

Intensive English – 24 academic hours –
Communicative Method of language teaching that is second to none! GEOS is the only private school in Ottawa to operate 6 levels of ESL year-round. Our morning course, called Integrated Skills (IS) allows students to develop their ability in all four skills of English (reading, writing, listening and speaking). Our afternoon program is called Active Listening (AL) and focuses on improving the practical communication skills of listening and speaking.

Super Intensive – 31 academic hours –
Many of our students choose to enhance their studies with an extra elective class (7 hours per week). Our current elective classes are:
Levels 1 & 2 – Grammar Works (Beginner)
Levels 3 & 4 – Grammar Works (Intermediate) or IELTS Preparation (Intermediate)
Levels 5 & 6 – IELTS Preparation (Advanced)

TOEFL iBT Preparation Program (Advanced) – 24 academic hours
GEOS Ottawa is the perfect choice for the more serious student who is thinking about applying for university in Canada. Our very popular TOEFL iBT program prepares students in all aspects of the test to significantly increase their chances of passing.

Private Instruction / Closed groups
In addition to our regular scheduled group classes we also offer private and small group lessons in English and French with flexible schedules and class content to suit the needs of the student.

NYC Staff Profile

Michelle - Newest staff member to GEOS Languages PLUS in New York

Michelle O’Conell, Instructor

Say Hi to Michelle!
She joined GEOS NY this past summer and specializes in teaching our high level students English in a fun and dynamic way.

Meet Michelle:
“Hi guys! A little bit about me…I was born in New Jersey but have also lived in Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Maryland. After graduating from university, I moved to China to absorb the culture, language and art, which I love. I lived there for four years teaching English. I feel that my specialty is creating a connection with my students that really helps to make a great atmosphere in class. Of course, I also love to watch my student’s progress. When I’m not teaching, you can find me walking my dog in Astoria Park or painting New York’s spectacular cityscape.”
