Seven Programs. One starting point.
Every program begins with an assessment and ends with a measured result — a CEFR level, an exam score, or a specific skill you can use at work. Sessions run live, one-to-one or in small groups, online or on-site in Houston, Texas.
Foundations
BEGINNER TO ADVANCED · CEFR A1–C2
The full CEFR ladder, from first words to near-native command. You are placed at your real level, and you move up when an assessment shows you are ready.
A1–A2: everyday speech, questions, describing your work
B1–B2: opinions, explanations, handling a conversation you did not plan
C1–C2: nuance, register and argument at native pace.
Kids & Teens
YOUNG LEARNERS
Age-appropriate training that builds confidence early, with regular check-ins parents can follow. Mostly ESL support, with some academic English for students who need it.
Speaking from the first session, not silent worksheets
ESL support, plus academic English coursework where needed
Regular check-ins with parents on how it is going
SAT Prep
EXAM PREPARATION
We work on the Reading and Writing section. Students learn the concepts the questions test, the strategies for answering them, and the pacing that keeps them from running out of time.
The concepts behind each question type, not just the answers
Test-taking strategy: passage approach, elimination, when to move on
Timed practice for speed — how long each question can take
TOEFL® Edge
EXAM PREPARATION
We work backwards from the number your program requires and the date you sit the exam, so nothing is left to the last week.
Diagnostic test and section-by-section strategy
Timed practice, reviewed question by question
Speaking and writing scored against exam rubrics

Everyday life in USA: housing, schools, banking, medical
French & Spanish
ONE TO ONE
Mostly one-to-one sessions, taken for two reasons: a school or university requirement, or the plain wish to speak another language. We ask which one it is in the first session and build from there.
Academic track: coursework support, exams and assignments
Personal track: conversation from the start, travel and family use
Any level, from first words to keeping up with a native speaker
