Find Friends, Opportunities, and Support.

As an experienced education professional with over a decade of experience working with international students in various capacities, and as a former international student and immigrant to Canada myself, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges these students face. I am excited about what Tribo brings to the industry by supporting international students both during their education and after graduation, offering a service that institutions often struggle to provide. While institutions can offer robust support for their alumni, Tribo fills a critical gap by extending similar services to international students while they are still studying. Through strategic partnerships, Tribo provides international students with unprecedented access to discounts, products, and services that were previously unavailable to them.

Working with Jim as my instructor in the department of Hospitality and Tourism has been an incredibly welcoming experience. From the very first session, his approachable
demeanor and supportive teaching style made me feel at ease. Jim’s ability to create an inclusive and encouraging learning atmosphere truly sets him apart. He inspires confidence, fosters growth, and ensures that everyone feels valued and heard. Jim’s guidance has been instrumental in shaping my understanding and passion for hospitality and tourism. I couldn’t ask for a better guide on my learning journey in Canada. God bless you, Jim. “A good instructor is like a candle… it consumes itself to light the way for others.” – Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

I wanted to share my appreciation for Jim and the incredible environment he creates. When I first came to Canada, everything was new, and Jim was my first teacher. From day one, he made me feel welcome, supported, and capable. He has a unique way of building both confidence and community, making sure everyone feels valued and encouraged to grow. His patience, kindness, and passion for teaching truly stand out. He not only helps students develop their skills but also creates a space where they feel like they belong. Having Jim as my first teacher in Canada was such a positive experience, and I am truly grateful for his guidance.

Becoming an International Student in Canada is a challenge in many ways, but colaborating in a diploma program with Jim has been a transformative experience.
Our professor is not just an educator but a true mentor. From the beginning he empowered us by encouraging critical thinking and helping us realize our potential. He goes beyond just teaching; he provides invaluable support and connects us with opportunities that truly enhance our professional growth. His dedication to fostering a collaborative environment has allowed all of us to feel supported, inspired, and motivated to reach our goals. The connections and insights I've gained from this program will stay with me throughout my career. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and for being part of such a transformative learning experience.
