Our award-winning Efekta Method™ has taught 20 million people English

If you want to learn from the comfort of your own home and on your own terms, an online English school is a flexible and efficient solution to learn English from scratch and improve your skills.  

Besides getting expert guidance from certified teachers, meeting other like-minded learners from around the world, and accessing self-study exercises – joining an online English School like EF English Live will help you stay motivated to reach your goal. According to a study conducted by The American Society of Training and Development (ASTD), you have a 65% chance of reaching a goal if you commit to someone, like an English school. That number increases to 95% if you have a specific appointment, like a private class with a tutor.  

EF English Live offers both private and group lessons, led by certified teachers, for learners at all levels of English (A1-C2). Learn more about our courses.

The first thing to remember is that everyone learns to speak English at a different pace. If you want to learn as much as possible in a short time, then give the following tips a go: 

1. Don't be afraid to try: Learning English is a process where you learn from making mistakes. Keep going! 

2. Speak English every day: Nothing will improve your English like speaking. The brain is like a muscle that needs training and taking every opportunity to speak English (even when you’re alone) will help you develop your language skills without even realizing it. 

3. Listen to English: While reading helps to improve your vocabulary, hearing English words spoken in real-life situations will help you know how and when to use them. For example, if you are learning the word ‘tomorrow’ it is helpful to learn a phrase like ‘Tomorrow, I would like to...’.  

4. Interact with native and bilingual speakers: They can give you suggestions, advice and, correct you when you make mistakes. 

EF English Live take these elements into account in our online English classes and courses. With us, you can speak English online whenever you want, wherever you are, 24/7. 

Our certified Efekta Teachers™ do not just teach words and phrases, they teach speaking confidence. In private classes you learn new things and find your confidence, with the support of your Efekta Teacher™. Then you put what you have learned into practice in group conversation classes in a supportive environment, led by a teacher.  

Absolutely. Our group classes give you the opportunity to talk to and listen to students from different countries who have the same level of English as you. These live sessions help you practice speaking English and apply what you've learnt. Social learning is essential for motivation and for finding your English-speaking confidence. Who knows, you might make a friend or two!
