OUR APPROACH

A seven PART STRATEGY

The English Advantage (TEA) uses a seven-part strategy enabling the highest quality classes at the most accessible price. 

  1. Native English Teachers – TEA utilizes native English speakers who actually raise their own salary support to enable them to provide this offering at the lowest price.
  2. World-Class Curriculum – TEA utilizes some of the top tested and proven curriculums worldwide that provide high levels of transparency and accountability.
  3. Discussion Practice – TEA provides native English discussion partners through the utilization of video technology and volunteer conversation partners from the United States (while maintaining security for all involved).
  4. Relational Motivation – As a result of having peer-to-peer conversation partners, students are more motivated to practice and grow in speaking English.
  5. Accessibility – The founders and board work hard to raise funds in order to provide the necessary facilities and offerings to help under-resourced populations receive English training at an accessible level for all. 
  6. Safety – The safety of our students is our top priority. That is why TEA employs a security guard for all hours of operation and provides parent viewing rooms near the classrooms with a live video feed of each classroom. 
  7. Advantage – While TEA serves all ages, we know that the younger a person begins to learn English, the greater advantage he/she will have to excel in all areas of proficiency including speaking, pronunciation, reading, and writing. This is why we provide preschool and early elementary options.
