Small groups. Big speaking confidence.

3–5 Student Micro-Cohorts

Tiny classes mean every child is seen, heard and corrected in the moment — never lost in a crowd.

80%+ Active Speaking Time

Lessons are built around talking, not watching. Children spend the majority of each session using English out loud.

Rigorous CEFR Alignment

Every learner is placed, tracked and reported against international benchmarks, so progress is measurable.

Programmes by age & level

Every enrolment begins with a free assessment and a written learning plan. Children are then placed in a micro-cohort matched to their age band and CEFR level.

Cohorts run at 4pm, 6pm and 8pm GST — see them in your time zone:

  • 4:00 pm
  • 6:00 pm
  • 8:00 pm

What parents say about our online English classes

4.9/5 from 1,200+ verified parent reviews

Aariz went from single-word answers to telling us full stories about his lesson. The cohort of four means he actually has to speak — that changed everything.

Sana M.

Parent of a 6-year-old · Dubai, UAE

The monthly CEFR report is the first thing I've had that actually shows progress rather than just 'she's doing well'. Worth every penny.

Rachel T.

Parent of a 9-year-old · London, UK

Both of my children are on the same account and I can see their lessons side by side. Rescheduling takes ten seconds.

Ibrahim K.

Parent of two, ages 7 and 11 · Karachi, Pakistan
