From an ESL certified educator

These tutors have completed an internationally recognized TESL course on how to properly teach English as a second language.

Watch your child learn English at their own pace, with reliable methods

Our ESL tutors on Vancouver Island provide effective, ‘tried and true’ TESL methods of learning English. Their goal is to introduce the language methodically, practically, and in a way that caters to each child’s starting abilities.

Many different resources will be used to get your child moving towards fluency in English. Here are just a couple of examples of ways your child can learn with our ESL tutors:

• The Direct Approach: Arguably the most drastic, but a very effective method. Instruction is entirely limited to speaking in English. Your child will see and hear English so much that they will eventually start to hear patterns and make sense of what is being said to them. Sometimes this method is used after your child has a basic understanding of the language, so they aren’t too overwhelmed. They will be totally immersed in English and will think and dream in English.
• The Lexical Approach: This method improves conversational skills that are helpful in everyday situations instead of just focusing on speaking English ‘perfectly’  your child will learn how to speak depending on what situation they are in. For example: casual colloquial conversations with friends which includes trendy phrases and idioms, formal and respectful conversations with parents or teachers or their boss at work.

And more!

Put your child on track to academic and personal success by learning English!

We’d recommend not waiting, and taking advantage of an ESL tutor when your child is young. The sooner your child begins planting the seeds of correct English terminology and speech, the better. This is so they will develop correct practices and avoid bad habits. This is invaluable to having a successful academic and personal journey.

When your child can read and write properly in English, many life experiences become accessible, such as:

• Pursuing post-secondary studies at top-rated, globally recognized institutions.
• Qualifying for a broad range of careers, both domestic and international.
• Becoming active participants in democracy and political discourse.
• Engaging in popular culture through English films, music, TV, and social media.
• Exploring different social and personal relationships.
• Being able to share creative endeavours (music, writing, poetry, etc) with a broad audience.
