English for Children

iSpeak offers extensive experience in teaching English to young learners. Learning can be undertaken individually or in small groups of 4, depending on each learner's level of English proficiency. In class, we focus on developing speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. Our young learners' teaching programme includes Jolly Phonics for early learning stage phonetics, reading methodology, and everyone's favourite language learning games.

iSpeak offers a Pre - A1 level EFL (English as a Foreign Language) course for young learners.

Young learners will develop their initial English language listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through language learning games, listening to short stories and acting them out, singing sound songs and nursery rhymes, and reading simple stories.

Individual English Classes

iSpeak conducts individual language classes for children. To experience the optimum progress with your English learning, we recommend individual classes at least twice a week for a minimum period of 3 months. In one-to-one classes, we will cater to your specific needs - your goals, schedule, etc. This format of language learning would be suitable for those with very busy schedules who enjoy independent learning or for learners who have set themselves very specific goals for improving their English. Please contact us to discuss your situation in detail, and we'll do our best to help you achieve your English learning targets.

Small Group English Classes

iSpeak offers the opportunity for children to learn English in a small group (up to 4 people), focusing on increased interaction among children. In a small group, each child gets more chances to interact with others. This encourages active participation and engagement, making learning more effective. Small groups allow for peer-to-peer learning, where children can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, children will enjoy singing songs and reciting nursery rhymes together, which enhances language acquisition and fosters a fun learning environment.

Online English Classes

We do not recommend remote learning for children due to the technical difficulties and the lack of face-to-face interaction, which can make the learning process challenging and reduce the quality of teaching. Moreover, online language learning often requires independent study, which can make it more challenging to navigate, stay engaged, and maintain motivation. Please contact us regarding individual queries for young learners, and we'll do our best to find the best English learning strategy for your child.
