Since 2006, helping students become confident English speakers

We started in Ibagué in 2006 with one classroom and one teacher. Today, we're in two cities—Ibagué and Girardot—and offer online classes anywhere in the world. We still believe in the same thing: a dedicated teacher who supports you, not an app that replaces them.

What everyone asks before getting started

100% live. Join your group at the scheduled time and your teacher leads the class in real time: you participate, speak, and get feedback just as you would at our location. We don't sell prerecorded videos.

It's our priority, and we almost always make it happen: your teacher stays with you throughout your level so you can maintain continuity. In exceptional circumstances (for example, medical leave), we may make a change, with a handover so the new teacher understands your progress and you don't have to start over.

Age 4 for in-person classes (Ibagué and Girardot) and age 9 for online classes. We have separate programs for kids, teens, and adults, each with age-appropriate materials and pacing.

It depends on your weekly class hours. With two classes per week, most students complete a CEFR level in 4 to 6 months. During your assessment, we'll give you a personalized estimate based on your starting point and goal.

No. Take the test here on the page, and if you'd like a more precise result, schedule a short, free interview with a teacher. Decide afterward—no pressure.

Yes. As an authorized center, we welcome external candidates for all four exams. TOEFL is taken 100% online; IELTS, APTIS, and OTE are taken at our in-person location in Ibagué. We also offer intensive preparation courses for each format.
