Our comment from StudyLanguages about Yves-Theriault Center:
The Yves-Theriault Center is highly regarded as a great place to learn French in Quebec, with many users praising the school for its excellent teachers and friendly staff. Reviews mention the clean and spacious environment, as well as the available extracurricular activities that foster social interaction among students. The school offers various levels of French courses, accommodating learners from beginner to advanced levels, and is known for its supportive atmosphere.
However, there have been some concerns regarding the administrative processes and communication with staff, particularly at the front desk. Some students have reported feeling frustrated by a lack of responsiveness when trying to book appointments or address issues, and there are comments about the cafeteria's cash-only policy. Additionally, a few negative experiences with specific staff members have been noted. Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment remains positive, indicating the school’s commitment to providing quality education and a welcoming environment.
Yves-Theriault Center: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Muy buena escuela super recomendada
Negative experience: Born in Canada but new to Quebec, I enrolled at Level 1 to start from a 'baby-talk' level. Ironically, the receptionists here expect me to communicate in French already. If I could speak French, I wouldn’t be in Level 1! ♂️ Logic is clearly missing here; by Quebec’s own grading standards, no one below a B2 level should be expected to speak fluently. Additionally, staff should recognize that in other provinces, French programs are scarce with limited seats. I was one of many children who never had the opportunity to learn, so I am here to start now—the least the front desk could do is show some patience — and let students use translation apps.
Fantastic experience: J'étudie au Centre Yves-theriault, c'est très bien que j'adore ça.
Negative experience: Même une seule étoile, c'est de trop pour cette école.

Fantastic experience: Hello☺️I will share my observations about this school with everyone who is thinking of choosing this school to learn French. Absolutely yes my friend! This is the school you are looking for! From the principal to the secretary, from the security guard to the cleaning staff, everyone is smiling, helpful and solution-oriented! You should not forget that the person will treat you the way you approach them. If you are someone who obeys the rules, respects the law and social life, you will never have any problems; because not doing these things will make you problematic. As the school administration, we ask you to be a part of the solution for public safety and the continuity of the school system, and we convey our most sincere wishes. In general, I have not encountered any racism based on religion, sect, color or nationality, and no one would dare to do so. The school is clean and spacious. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the cleaning staff. The thing I do not like the most about the school is that the cafeteria only accepts cash! Please, we live in a digital world, no one should be forced to use cash. There is an active student policy regarding activities, entertainment and socialization. Therefore, if your heart and thoughts are filled with goodness, you will reflect this to those around you and you will receive very positive feedback from your environment/school administration. Be kind and act kindly. This is the school you are looking for. Bonjour☺️je partagerai mes observations sur cette école avec tous ceux qui envisagent de choisir cette école pour apprendre le français. Absolument oui, mec ! C'est l'école que vous recherchez ! Du gérant à la secrétaire, de l'agent de sécurité au personnel de nettoyage, tout le monde est sympathique, serviable et orienté vers les solutions ! Vous devez vous rappeler que la façon dont vous abordez une personne est la façon dont elle vous traitera. Si vous êtes quelqu'un qui obéit aux règles et respecte la loi et la vie sociale, vous n'aurez jamais de problèmes ; parce que ne pas faire ces choses vous rendra problématique. En tant qu’administration scolaire, nous vous demandons de faire partie de la solution pour la sécurité publique et la continuité du système scolaire, et nous vous transmettons nos sincères vœux. En général, je n’ai rencontré aucun racisme basé sur la religion, la secte, la couleur ou la nationalité, et personne n’oserait le faire. L'école est propre et spacieuse. Je tiens à exprimer ma sincère gratitude au personnel de nettoyage. Ce que j’aime le moins à l’école, c’est que la cafétéria n’accepte que les espèces ! S'il vous plaît, nous vivons dans un monde numérique, personne ne devrait être obligé d'utiliser de l'argent liquide. Il existe une politique étudiante active en matière d'activités, de divertissement et de socialisation. Par conséquent, si votre cœur et vos pensées sont remplis de bonté, vous le refléterez auprès de ceux qui vous entourent et vous recevrez des commentaires très positifs de la part de votre entourage/de l’administration de l’école. Soyez gentil et agissez avec douceur. C'est l'école que vous recherchez.
Negative experience: Mauvais traitement de la part de la directrice, elle m'a très mal traité, au début avec une certaine attention, mais quand j'ai commencé à poser des questions sur pourquoi ils n'acceptent pas un document que le service du Québec dit être validé et ils ont dit que parce que j'étais entre les deux j'avais besoin de savoir qui avait raison, elle a appelé la sécurité sans que je m'en rende compte pour m'expulser de l'école comme si je causais du trouble ou représentais un danger, est-ce que ça pourrait être parce que je suis noir et que je deviens un danger quand je pose trop de questions sur mes droits ?
Negative experience: Mauvais service de la part de la directrice de l'école elle-même, ils nous traitent comme des déchets, je ne sais pas si c'est parce que je suis noire, j'ai le droit de demander des informations, mais comme je demandais beaucoup pour savoir pourquoi ils refusaient mes documents, elle a appelé les agents de sécurité sans que je m'en aperçoive et sans aucune confusion ni rien, elle a pensé que je devais déjà quitter l'institution d'État parce qu'elle pense qu'elle est propriétaire de l'école et comme si je n'étais pas assez inutile pour continuer à demander, parce que je n'ai pas ce droit, je suis noire.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service de la la secrétaire Madame Leve, qui est très professionnelle. Nous avons eu une place mon épouse et moi. C'est vraiment la meilleure employée du centre.
Negative experience: Called lots of times over many days to book an appointment for a TCF TEST, no one answers. When finally someone answers she said she can’t help me and I should call back later…. Kept calling again, no one answers. Sent an email, they answered with you should call to book. Finally when I got to the person who is responsible for bookings, she was suuuuper rude and said she can’t help me. She didn’t even try to listen to what I had to say and just cut me. The worst experience I’ve ever had. I booked a test online in a different school on the date I wanted.

Fantastic experience: Excelente escuela
Fantastic experience: Excelente
Fantastic experience: Para mi concepto es una gran escuela, el ambiente allí es agradable, desde el personal de servicio al cliente hasta los educadores, son muy amables aunque en ocasiones algo toscos por querer hacer respetar su lengua Francesa, es un lugar limpio con amplios baños incluyendo baños para personas con discapacidad, cuenta con una amplia cafetería en la cual tienes que pagar solo con cash, algo de recalcar es que no cuenta con parqueadero al público y que el parqueo al rededor es un poco complicado.
Fantastic experience: I've been trying to get an appointment with you for 3 months. Please make an appointment with us. My daughter is 19 years old, permanent resident. And she wants to learn French full time. He just came from Turkey and speaks only Turkish. The French language is at zero level. My daughter wants to start french language school here as soon as possible.

Fantastic experience: La meilleure école pour étudier le français!!
Positive experience: Exelente buena oportunidad para estudiarLo
Negative experience: Good place to learn french, except for unprofessional staff members like social worker Karen Nolet and directrice adjointe Natalie, if you are absent for valid reasons like sickness or your spouse or kids, they don't care and they harass you threatening that they will kick you out. I was absent often since my wife had a high risk pregnancy and they did not care, they told me she must've taken the metro and go herself even if she was bleeding, and my absence was not justified, even though i had a doctor's note. And this happens with all students in the same or similar situation.

Fantastic experience: The best school for French language
Fantastic experience: Excellent
Negative experience: My wife went here in the course that started January 2020 to learn French. Terrible experience. Unprofessional teacher called Emertio making in appropriate comments regularly, spending lots of time on his phone texting, kicking his feet up on the desk. When brought to the administration's attention, they refused to do anything about and were very rude about it. Find a better environment to learn French where you will be treated with respect and get professional teachers. Avoid this learning center!
Positive experience: It's a really great place to learn French. They have levels from 1 to 8, schedule in the mornings, nights and weekends. They even have a program for people that doesn't know how to read or write in any language at all. The levels can be intensive from 20 to 30 hours each week during 2 months or slower if you are working on your french skills just on weekends. The staff is really helpful and there are many services including social workers and nurses. If you are eligible under some of the programs that Québec holds to help immigrants to learn French you will be able to study there practically for free. I highly recommend this option. I didn't give 5 stars because of the building. There aren't enough publics toilets and some classes don't have windows and enough ventilation.
Fantastic experience: Excelente para aprender francés
Negative experience: Les profs manquent de pédagogie et de professionnalisme sur tout si vous inscrivez pour TFI ou TCF. La gestion des inscriptions est nulle, j ai pris un rdv en ligne en arrivant au centre j ai trouvé 30 personnes avant moi j ai perdu 2h d attente en fin de compte la directrice m a dit : pas de place laisser votre numéro on vous rappellera lorsqu il y aura une place. Je le recommande pas sauf si vous avez le temps à attendre 2 ou 4 mois afin qu il vous appelle.
