Ages 4-16, all backgrounds and levels
Following the introduction session, our teachers work with you to create a learning plan for your children. You may want support with the topics they’re covering at school, you may want them to learn English from 0 following our own syllabus. We adapt our classes to your needs to ensure your children are improving their English in a fun and interactive way.
All our classes take place on Zoom and the links are easily accessible on your dashboard. Unless requested to use your child’s school materials, we use our own original materials including YouTube videos, online quizzes and games as well as virtual flashcards and fun presentations. We have an easily accessible lesson record of what we cover in class so you can keep track of your child’s progress.
We recommend classes of 30 or 45 minutes for young learners aged up to 14 years old and extend this to 60 minutes for 15 and 16 year olds. We book in all your classes for you and you have the flexibility to cancel or rearrange your classes with 24 hours.
