We care!

Languages ​​& Travel has represented Tamwood International College for many years. It is a family-run organization that has grown considerably. The name Tamwood comes from the beginning of the first name of Tamsin Plaxton, the director, and the end of the last name of her partner, Matt Collingwood.

What we particularly appreciate is the family atmosphere that prevails there and the possibility of combining 2 or 3 destinations (Vancouver, Toronto and Whistler)Start with a few weeks in Toronto, Ontario, then head to Vancouver on the Pacific coast. Fancy some surfing? Go to Whistler for the winter or summer season.

Tamwood International College has opened a “ Tamwood Careers College ”, equivalent to our higher education institutions and highlighting innovative professional training programs.
