English Classes for young learners.
Fun, interactive and structured lessons with a native English teacher from Cambridge.
over 10 years’ teaching experience.
Hello, I’m Claire, a native English teacher from Cambridge, UK
I offer online English classes for children and teenagers from around 7 to 16 years old. Classes are available one-to-one, in pairs, or in small groups of 4 to 6 students. Lessons are friendly, structured and interactive, helping students use English in natural and enjoyable ways.
Why online classes can work so well
More opportunities to speak
Online classes have modernised English language learning, creating a colourful, interactive experience where speaking and listening are at the heart of each lesson.
Communication comes first
Speaking and listening are, of course, essential to mastering any language and using it naturally, but they are often given too little space in more traditional textbook-based approaches.
Interactive and engaging lessons
With online learning, children and teenagers work with visual materials, short videos, interactive games, natural listening activities, different accents and real-life contexts. This helps English feel more alive, useful and enjoyable, while still following a clear structure from class to class.

Shall we get started?
Is online learning suitable for my child?
Online classes can work very well for many children and teenagers. Some students are already very comfortable learning through a screen, especially when lessons are interactive and varied.
However, every child is different. Online lessons are usually most successful when the student is able to concentrate for short periods, interact with the teacher, and participate in activities.
For younger students, I recommend starting with a trial class to see whether the format feels suitable.
