We Offer Individual and Group Classes
All our classes are bespoke and tailored to the individuals. We are proud to offer high quality, personalised learning with expert British teachers. We offer individual classes which provide the most flexibility in terms of scheduling, giving families the chance to choose their own class times and move lessons they cannot attend. For those looking for a more sociable experience, we also offer small group classes for students over seven (7) years old. These classes are limited to a maximum of 4 students so all participants benefit from individual attention as well as the chance to interact with peers of a similar age and ability.
Internationally Accredited Programmes and Qualified Teachers
We are proud to use the Zoom Education Platform and TutorBird to deliver and manage our interactive online classes. Our learning follows the British curriculum for English and we use the same award-winning programmes used in schools across the UK including:

Access to English e-Books and Games
We believe in 'learning through fun'. All our students can get a 'At Home' subscription to our online eLibraries (ActiveLearn and Giglets) and learning support programmes (Nessy) with access to 100s of English eBooks for all ages and interactive games to reinforce learning between classes.
Online eLIBRARIES
Children will recognise lots of the main characters such as Shaun the Sheep, Dr Who, Wallace and Grommit, Ben 10 and many more!
The books and games are matched to the live lessons to reinforce the teaching and continue the learning and fun in between classes.
Most of the eBooks come with built-in quizzes to check understanding and a read-to-me function which helps students to model correct pronunciation.
English as a First Language
We offer classes following the British curriculum in English delivered by native English speaking teachers, all with a UK teaching qualification.
This means we are a perfect solution for children who need extra support with reading/writing/essay composition etc whether they be learning overseas, immersed in a second language, or just needing extra support outside of school.
Our British teachers are highly qualified and experienced in making English classes interactive, engaging and fun.
Our programmes delivered online allow English speaking children to access the British Curriculum in English wherever they may be in the world.
English as a Foreign Language
We know the value of being able to communicate freely and confidently in English in today’s world.
Our programmes are suitable for children of all ages and at all stages of their English learning journey.
From those students starting to learn basic vocabulary for conversation, to students studying for exams in English at international schools around the world, and everything in between, we have a teacher and a programme to match.
