We offer one course at the moment: Speak Like a Native. It is an 8-week course designed to teach you how to speak faster and more fluently in English. Through video lessons, homework, and instructor feedback, you will learn to speak like a native.

We offer individual and group lessons. These lessons may be conversational or comprehensive.

A Conversational Lesson is a guided discussion meant to advance your listening and speaking accuracy and fluency.

A Comprehensive Lesson is a structured lesson involving targeted practice and education on speaking, listening, writing, reading, and/or pronunciation. Comprehensive Lessons come with optional extension assignments for extra practice and supplementary learning.

Conversational Lessons are better for those students who are only concerned with speaking and listening skills. Comprehensive Lessons are better for intensive study, faster progress, advancing to the next proficiency level, or specialized topics like business English, academic study, interview preparation, and exam preparation.
