Jonathan Kolber has an MBA from the Schulich School of Business at York University and a BSc in Actuarial Science from the University of Toronto. He is the co-founder and CEO of Canada’s most awarded English language school, ILAC, which has since grown into a global education company that includes ILAC International College, Sterling College, Canadian Tourism College, as well as one of the largest official IELTS test centres in the world.
Jonathan’s motto is “Dream big” and he applies it in everything that he does, including inspiring and supporting his students, staff and partners to do the same.
Ilan was born in Montreal and grew up in Toronto, where he completed his Bachelor of Actuarial Science at the University of Toronto. Before he started ILAC, Ilan had his own university textbook stores at UofT and York. Ilan always knew that he wanted to work for himself and always created his own employment opportunities. Ilan met Jon after graduating from university and they quickly became friends, roommates and eventually business partners. Once he discovered the exciting world of ESL, Ilan saw the chance to create something new. Today, Ilan lives in Toronto with his family and continues to find inspiration in the teachers, staff, international students and partners that he interacts with every day.
