Teens
ages 13–18
Teenagers here discuss, disagree, and present rather than recite. Topics push opinion and critical thinking, the whole lesson runs in English, and it ends in conversation nobody marks. Exam coaching sits in one-to-one lessons instead, for students who ask for it.

A lesson, step by step
A discussion question on something happening this week — opinions expected, agreement optional.
A topic worth an opinion — culture, school, something in the news — worked through in English only.
The language they reached for and missed during that discussion, practised on the spot, plus a short piece presented to the group.
Free conversation to close: no marking, no correction mid-sentence.
