Do you teach primary school children?
The studio focuses on senior high school students, university learners, and working adults. Young-learner, play-based classes are not offered.
Online or in person?
Both. In-person sessions in Tianhe, Guangzhou; online for students elsewhere in China or overseas.
How does a trial lesson work?
Contact via WeChat to arrange a 30–50 minute assessment. Ellen reviews your level and goals before recommending a programme.
How is this different from large institution classes?
1-to-1 or small groups tailored to your goals — speaking and academic expression first, not factory-style large classes.
Can I combine business English and IELTS?
Best planned as separate modules. Message on WeChat with your goals and Ellen will suggest the right programme.
