Building a confident generation of English speakers

What is Live Speaking?

Your children are learning English, but do they actually get to speak English in their day-to-day lives?

Burlington’s Live Speaking online program is all about creating opportunities and motivating kids to really practice their English.

How does it work?

Live Speaking is an online program which gives young learners authentic opportunities to speak English and build their confidence. We create small classes of students who learn and practice in a friendly environment.

Our Method

Live Speaking offers Schools and Individuals customized courses, in length, CEFR level and age. Our pedagogical team works with administrators and parents, to pre-determine the class level and curriculum. Each child is provided with ongoing feedback, and an official progress report and certificate at the end of each term.

Parents say

“Kids have fun and they don’t even realise they are speaking English all the time.”

“It’s a unique opportunity to put in practice what they learn while speaking; I think it’s crucial that they manage the written language as well as spoken. Also I think the online aspect of Live Speaking works great.”

“Easy to connect with the teacher and great communication.”

“I love that my daughter is interacting with native teachers.”

“The teacher is really nice and I love how she interacts with kids. I like the quality of the service and seriousness, and there were no problems with the timetables. Not a word in Spanish was spoken.”

Students say

“I like that everything is focused around speaking, and we are talking fluently about different topics not related to education. I can expand my vocabulary to have normal conversation and not just associated with the teaching like we do in the school.”

“It was so cool to be able to speak with native speakers.”

“I enjoy that we learn English in such a creative and fun way without having to do homework.”

“I like that I learn a lot, I had a lot of fun and the teacher Michaela was really nice with us”
