Is This For Your Child
Is this the right course for your child?
Most children who join can read English and recognise the words, but go quiet the moment they have to say something out loud. If that sounds like your child, this is the course built for them.
This course suits your child if
- They understand English but go quiet when asked to speak
- They know words, but not how to build sentences
- They need speaking practice, not more grammar worksheets
- You want one trainer per child, not a batch
Look at another course if
- Your child already speaks confidently and wants to stretch furtherSpoken English Advanced for kids
- You are looking for French, Spanish or German rather than EnglishAll kids language courses
Class format
One trainer, one child
There is no batch for your child to keep up with. They speak for the whole class instead of waiting for a turn, and the trainer corrects them as they go.
- Speaks the whole class, no turn-waiting
- Corrected in real time, not after
1:1
one trainer per child
Weekly rhythm
Five short classes a week
Classes run Monday to Friday, so English becomes a daily habit rather than a weekend event. [60-minutes per class.] Timings are fixed with your trainer when you enrol.

What Changes
What your child can do by the end
Four stages, from first sounds to a real conversation. The last one is where the course ends.
Sounds
Says English sounds clearly
Words
Uses everyday words for home and school
Sentences
Builds first full sentences
Conversation
Holds a short conversation
Speaking
- At the start
- Answers in single words, or switches to the home language
- By the end
- Answers in full sentences, and asks a question back
Confidence
- At the start
- Hesitates, or goes quiet when asked to speak English
- By the end
- Volunteers an answer without being prompted first
Every child moves at their own pace. Progress depends on your child's age, where they start and how much they practise between classes — this is a guide, not a guarantee.
What You Learn
What you will learn
Six strands, running in parallel across the fifty-two weeks rather than one after the other.
Foundation Grammar
The basic architecture of English — parts of speech, articles, subject-verb agreement, sentence formation — explained properly, often for the first time.
Advanced Grammar
Conditionals, passive voice, causative verbs, complex and compound sentences, and what each is actually for.
Interpersonal Skills
How to speak differently to a client, a manager, an interviewer and a colleague.
Vocabulary
The range that separates simple English from impressive English — word families, collocations, idiom and register.
Voice & Accent
Pitch, pace, intonation, syllables, and working on mother tongue influence.
Professional Communication
Email, reports, memos, presentations, interviews, telephone and meeting etiquette.
Curriculum
52 weeks, 260 sessions, day by day

Before You Book
Questions parents ask
Age fit, screen time, missed classes and refunds — answered before you book.
My child is 5. Is that too young to start?
No. Five is the youngest age this course takes, and because every class is one to one there is no batch for your child to keep up with — the trainer works at whatever pace suits them, starting from sounds and single words. The free demo class includes a level evaluation, so you can see how your child responds before committing to anything.
How much screen time does this add?
Classes run five days a week, Monday to Friday. [PLACEHOLDER: minutes per class — the one number needed to answer this properly.] Because the class is one to one, your child spends it speaking rather than watching someone else's turn, which is a different kind of screen time from a video lesson or a large online batch.
Do I need to sit with my child during class?
[PLACEHOLDER: confirm the policy for younger children — whether a parent settles them for the first few minutes and then steps away, and whether that changes with age.] [PLACEHOLDER: how and how often parents hear about progress — the adult programme issues written feedback with each assessment, but confirm what a parent receives and when.]
What happens if my child misses a class?
Speak to your counsellor — classes can usually be rescheduled within your plan period. Timings are fixed with your trainer when you enrol, within Monday-to-Friday availability, so a regular clash can be moved rather than missed every week.
What if it is not working for my child?
[PLACEHOLDER: the refund and cancellation policy in full — the window it covers, what is refundable, and how a parent requests it. No refund policy exists anywhere in this app today, so this cannot be answered by inference.] Start with the free demo class in the meantime: it costs nothing, and it shows you the trainer and the format before you decide.
What will my child actually learn?
The course starts with English sounds and everyday words, then moves on to building first full sentences and holding short conversations. Every class ends with practice and trainer feedback, and progress is assessed rather than assumed. [PLACEHOLDER: the week-by-week syllabus for the kids course. The 52-week curriculum shown further down this page is the ADULT English Foundation syllabus — it covers business writing, memos, reports and interview practice, and it does not describe a course for a child.]

Talk to a coordinator
Your child's first class includes a level evaluation, and there is nothing to pay for it.
Every child moves at their own pace: progress depends on your child's age, where they start and how much they practise between classes, so the outcomes above are a guide rather than a guarantee. Classes run one to one, Monday to Friday, and timings are fixed with your trainer when you enrol. [PLACEHOLDER: the refund and cancellation policy belongs here, and it is the one thing on this page a parent cannot currently check.]
