STUDENT SUCCESS STORIES
Hear what they have to say.
Saulo Santos Vieira
Learning English was never just about picking up a new language for me—it was about facing my fears, challenging my self–doubt, and pushing past the limits I had unknowingly set for myself. At a time when I questioned whether I was capable, my teacher (Lewis) entered my life.
He wasn't merely someone who taught; he was a mentor, a guide, and the spark I needed...Each class felt like an adventure. What he gave me went beyond words and phrases. He taught me to believe in myself.
You weren't just my teacher. You were a catalyst for change, and you've left an indelible mark on my life. Thank you...

LANGUAGE LEARNING FOR TEAMS
A study by Forbes Insights, in collaboration with Rosetta Stone, surveyed over 214 executives at large U.S. businesses and found that language barriers have a broad and pervasive impact on business operations. The survey highlighted that employees who develop language skills contribute to more efficient communication and operational success.
According to SpringerLink, Language learning significantly enhances the performance of international teams by improving communication, fostering inclusivity, and reducing misunderstandings. Research indicates that language diversity within teams can lead to communication challenges; however, when team members develop proficiency in a common language, these challenges are mitigated, resulting in more effective collaboration.

MEET OUR LEAD INSTRUCTOR:
Lewis AkinWumi
I love teaching language because it opens doors to understanding and connection. Language is the bridge that allows people from different cultures to come together, share ideas, and gain insight into one another's lives. Teaching language is more than just imparting words and grammar; it's about fostering a deeper appreciation for diverse perspectives and traditions.
When people learn a new language, they also begin to understand the customs, values, and ways of life embedded within that language. As a language teacher, you get to witness and contribute to this journey. Each lesson becomes an opportunity to break down barriers and build empathy, allowing students to experience the world through the lens of another culture. It's a powerful way to bring people closer and create bonds that go beyond words.
In short, I love teaching language because it unites people, promotes understanding, and celebrates cultural diversity. Through language, you're not just teaching a skill but nurturing a global mindset and a sense of belonging in a connected world.

WHAT IF I'VE NEVER SPOKEN ENGLISH BEFORE?
The time it takes to learn English depends on a few factors, like your current level, how much time you dedicate to practicing, and your learning style. Typically, with consistent study and practice, learners start to see real progress within 3–6 months. However, reaching a fluent or advanced level can take longer, often a year or more. The important thing is to stay patient and enjoy the journey! I'll make sure our lessons are engaging and tailored to help you reach your goals as effectively as possible. Learning a language is a process, and every step forward is an achievement.
How LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO LEARN ENGLISH?
The time it takes to learn English depends on several things, like your current level, how much time you practice each day, and what goals you have. If you're aiming for basic conversational skills, you may start seeing good progress within a few months with regular practice. Reaching an intermediate or fluent level can take closer to a year or more, especially if you're learning part-time.
Learning a language is unique for everyone, so it's best to focus on steady progress rather than the time it takes. Consistency, exposure to the language in different ways, and real-life practice make a big difference!
Can I communicate directly with MY INSTRUCTOR?
We encourage direct communication with your instructors, as it's essential for your learning experience. You'll be able to ask questions, get personalized feedback, and clarify anything you don't understand. We're here to support you, so feel free to reach out anytime. Building that one-on-one connection with your instructor is a key part of your progress and success!
What if I WANT TO STUDY ENGLISH ON MY OWN?
No problem! We offer independent study options for those who want to work independently. Also consider purchasing tutoring sessions for practice and support in real time.
WHEN CAN I START?
You can start anytime! The sooner you begin, the sooner you'll start building your skills and confidence. If you're ready to dive in, we can plan out a schedule that works for you, and I'll make sure we tailor each lesson to your goals and pace. Remember, every bit of practice counts, so starting now is a great step toward fluency!
