Our offer
Lessons for Children
We help children grow into articulate speakers and writers who fall in love with English. Lessons weave stories with purposeful conversation, sparking curiosity and imagination. Along the way, they discover, as the White Queen said to Alice, that it is possible to believe “six impossible things before breakfast.” Our pupils leave not only with advanced fluency and vocabulary, but also with a lifelong delight in learning.
University Applications
We mentor ambitious students on the path towards world-class universities. Our tutors will support you in negotiating every stage of the IB, matura and university admissions process. We advise on IAs, EEs and TOK essays, and provide expert coaching for academic interviews. Our students have successfully gained places at destinations including Oxford, Stanford, and New York’s School of Visual Arts.
Lessons for Adults
Many adults carry a quiet frustration: knowing what they wish to say in English, but not how to say it well. We offer thoughtful, tailored teaching to help you speak and write with clarity and calm authority. Lessons are led by experienced tutors and shaped around your personal goals. The result is an English voice that is truly yours.
Business English
Elite coaching for professionals, where every word and every detail counts. We have worked with the Senior Legal Counsel at Google and the Country Manager at Facebook. Whether pitching to investors or preparing for a career-defining promotion, we will elevate your English for boardroom impact and international credibility. Workshops on CVs, LinkedIn, and interviews are delivered with the editorial precision of our founder: an Oxford graduate and translator of the first English edition of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
