Effective English is a language school for children and teenagers, created out of a need to teach in a different way from the traditional school system.

The school was built on the belief that children learn languages best when:

– they feel safe

– they have a real relationship with their teacher

– they speak and use the language instead of only filling in exercises

– they are treated as people, not as a syllabus to complete

We don’t teach from coursebooks and we don’t teach from behind a desk.

Our lessons are active, based on interaction, and focused on real communication.

We are a team that:

– works together

– talks openly about what works and what doesn’t

– isn’t afraid to admit mistakes

– keeps improving how we teach children

We are not a corporate language school. We are a small, growing school where people and values matter as much as results.
