The English Academy’s team of qualified native language teachers is second to none. All are motivated linguists, specialized in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). They may be based mainly in the UK and USA but, it will sound as if they are sitting right next to you.
Their expertise is your key to learning a new language. Together you will achieve wonders. With their instant feedback to correct your mistakes, you will be able to see for yourself just how fast you are making progress.
These professional tutors will help you to gain confidence in speaking, explain the grammar rules in a practical and comprehensive way and guide you towards your language goals, be it for business or personal use.
The needs analysis form you fill in when you book your course will also help us to match you up with the right teacher for you. Some are more experienced in business English, while others are more into cultural topics, academic English, writing skills, and so on.

The English Academy continuously monitors how you are getting along and evaluates the lessons, the teachers and the course material. We follow through in the same effective way as we adapt to your initial needs. Never forget that we share the same aim, which is to assist you in learning to express yourself in a new language as quickly as possible and to feel confident in meeting future challenges.

Our method

The success of the English Academy rests on the principle that the best way to learn a foreign language is to speak it, to hear it - and really feel it! Ours is not a traditional approach based only on translation and theoretical grammar. Our teaching method combines all the elements needed for you to really talk to and with your teacher, supplemented by appropriate written course material as necessary. By varying the subject content and presenting topics that you are particularly interested in, this ensures you stay focused, even during a two-hour lesson.
This philosophy has been tried, tested and refined during the thousands of one-on-one courses we run both at our school and online.

Our online courses cover:

• conversation: this main focus of our mode of teaching is made possible thanks to your free Skype connection
• writing: the teacher can read your answers as you type them (in chat mode or by e-mail)
• listening comprehension: your teacher can have you hear recorded listening exercises on your headset.
• reading and grammar activities: these are covered in the course material we send you.

We offer personalized lessons, based on spoken interaction between teacher and student. In this way, you learn very quickly to think in the new language and pick up appropriate idiomatic expressions. This immediate, hands-on and one-to-one approach, with instant correction, is the key to our success in online language tuition. It is thanks to such a customized approach that we can so easily adapt to what you are looking for, whatever your level of ability, specific problem areas or aims, be it for business or personal needs. Whether you simply want to converse in another language, develop your reading and writing skills, revise for or prepare specific official English language exams (FCE, CAE, CPE, IETS, TOEFL, etc.), we at The English Academy will do whatever it takes to help you.
