About me

A typical Hong Konger, for example, despite 9 years of free English instructions, still has trouble with giving directions. It is impossible to learn something for 9 years without proficiency. The reason is that the teaching method is completely wrong. Conventional methods focus on teaching you to process languages with your eyes when we are naturally equipped with the ability to process language on aural/orally. Yet, aural/oral methods are few and far in between. Furthermore, conventional methods focus on grammar, because it is the easiest thing to teach, because you could look up grammar by yourself, if you haven't figured it out already. Sounds are much harder to perceive and teach.

I'm really pleased with how the platform operates. It was effortless to discover teachers who perfectly matched my requirements. The lessons I received were exceptionally satisfying, and I feel like I've made significant progress in my English within a short period. The ability to create and personalize my lesson schedule to suit my work commitments was a huge advantage.

I enjoy learning English with Jacob and Brian. Their teaching style is relaxed, and I find it easier to understand English now. The website is user-friendly, and I appreciate receiving reminders for each of my lessons, the free cancellation policy is very useful!

Sophie is helping my son learn English tremendously. She is very patient and kind, which is why my son is making quick progress. The application is transparent and reliable in terms of payments. I am really satisfied with everything. Thank you.

Levent T.

The platform is simply amazing. The teachers are also incredibly warm and friendly. I took advantage of the discounted introductory lessons and had the opportunity to meet different teachers. The lessons are more like a friendship than a teacher-student relationship.

Emma teaches my daughter English in a very fun way. She is always cheerful and makes the lessons more enjoyable. I consider it a great opportunity to have met Emma through this application and to have her teach us English!

Utku S.

I started learning English from scratch. I worked with Teacher Umut for the first 3 months. When I reached a level where I could communicate without Turkish support, I continued working with my teacher Jade. I am very satisfied with the system. I recommend it to anyone who wants to take lessons regularly and aims to overcome English as a barrier in their life.
