ABOUT US

Effective English is a language school for children and teenagers, built for one reason: children speak English — not someday, now.

We don't teach from coursebooks and we don't teach from behind a desk. Every lesson is built so a child leaves having said something themselves — a full sentence, out loud, on their own — not just having sat through one.

We're not a corporate language school. We're a small, growing team that works together, talks openly about what's working and what isn't, isn't afraid to admit mistakes, and keeps getting better at teaching children.

YOUR ROLE

• Manage your classroom independently and keep it moving and interesting for the students


• Notice who didn't speak, and go back for them before the lesson ends.


• Have materials ready before the first child walks in — no finding things at the last minute, no planning mid-lesson.


• Take ownership of your students' progress and raise problems early, with the person who can act on them — not “nobody told me.”


• Show up on Fridays with something to report — the team meets every week to talk about the students and the lessons: what worked, what didn't, what needs to change.

THIS JOB IS FOR YOU IF

• A child gives you one word and you hand it straight back as a full sentence for them to say — you don't just accept it and move on.


• You'd teach the same lesson, with the same energy, whether or not anyone's watching.


• Something in your group goes wrong and your first instinct is to deal with it, not wait for instructions.


• You'll say “I don't agree” out loud in a meeting rather than nod along and quietly not do it.


• You care whether a child is bored, not just whether the lesson technically happened.


• You want students to actually speak English — and you notice when they're not.

THIS JOB IS NOT FOR YOU IF

• You want to teach from a coursebook, from behind a desk, or with minimal prep.


• You'd rather wait to be told exactly what to do than figure it out.


• Turning up without your materials ready, or planning on the fly, sounds fine to you.


• You don't genuinely enjoy working with children.

HOW WE WORK

• Speaking over theory. Relationships with students over ticking boxes.


• Feedback is real and it's for your development, not a performance review — you'll know where you stand and what to work on, and you can grow from Junior to Core to Senior to Elite as your teaching does.


• Friday is the centre of how we run: we go through the students together, admit what isn't working, and fix it as a team.


• We don't do corporate nonsense. We care about quality, about the children, and about each other.
