About Playful English
A small English school built around one belief: a child who dares to speak will learn faster than a child who is afraid to be wrong.
How it started
Playful English grew out of years of teaching English to children who had already decided they were 'bad at English'. They were not. They had been taught in classes of thirty, corrected in public, and graded on writing before they were ever allowed to speak.
So we built the opposite: groups of up to six, placement by real assessment, and lessons where speaking comes first and accuracy follows. Parents get evidence instead of reassurance — summaries, homework, attendance and progress they can read for themselves.
Today we teach children from age five to age ten, in small groups, privately and online.
Our teaching approach
Speak from lesson one
Every child produces English out loud in every lesson, from single words at A0 to debate at B2.
Confidence before correction
Errors are collected and taught, not interrupted. Children learn that being understood comes first.
Four skills, tracked separately
Speaking, listening, reading and writing get their own goals and their own scores, so weak spots stay visible.
Repetition that does not feel like it
The same language returns through games, stories and tasks until it becomes automatic.
Parents as partners
You see what happened, what was set, and what comes next — every single week.
Small enough to notice
When a child has a hard week, we see it and adjust. That only works at six children per group.
What we will not do
- Put twenty children in a room and call it a small group.
- Grade a child down for an accent.
- Sell a package before we have assessed the child.
- Leave a parent guessing what happened in the lesson.
