The world's #1 online English courses

Wherever you want! Our school is 100% online, and everything you need to learn English is available on our platform from day one, with no extra costs for printed material or books. With us, you can learn English anytime, anywhere. All you need is a computer or mobile phone, internet access, and some headphones with a good microphone. 

Choosing to learn a new language with online English lessons has several advantages. Besides never having to look for parking or wait for the bus, the main reasons for choosing and online English course like EF English Live are: 

1. Financial savings: Not only are online English courses cheaper than in-person schools, but you also save on bus fare and gas. And because all the material is online, you don’t have to buy any course material.  

2. Greater flexibility: You choose, when, where, and how often you want to study. With an online English course, you have complete flexibility and control over your schedule.  

3. Faster progress: Because you get one-on-one time with a teacher in private classes, you get direct and personalized feedback, which leads to faster progress.  

4. Personalization: With an online English course, you choose how many lessons you want to attend and in private classes you can choose the subjects you study with your teacher. 

Leave all the limitations of a traditional school behind with EF English Live. Our online English course offers interactive learning and immediate feedback. Our certified Efekta Teachers™ do not just teach words and phrases, they teach speaking confidence. From business professionals to world travelers and Olympic athletes, they have taught dedicated learners, just like you, all over the world. 

The best online English courses are ones that have certified and trained teachers, a clear teaching method, offer personalization, and don’t minimize the effort it takes to learn English.  

Learning with EF English Live’s online English courses is: 

• A combination of activities that use your whole brain (deep learning) vs. A simple word memory task (shallow learning) 

• A process where you learn from your mistakes vs. A learning environment where you are afraid of making mistakes 

• Having conversations in English – right from the start vs. Waiting until your pronunciation is perfect to speak 

• Where a great teacher is essential for progress vs. Where you are left without support 

Each learner gets a personalized learning plan tailored to their goals. You can join online English classes 24/7, led by native or bilingual certified Efekta Teachers™. 

But don’t just take our word for it. EF English Live has 5,218 five-star reviews and is rated GREAT on Trustpilot.  

Learning English online with our school is very easy. All you need is a computer or a smartphone with our app, internet access, a headset (with microphone) and dedication. We'll take care of the rest!

Find out more about how our courses work 

There is no definite answer to this question (sorry!). It depends on your current level of English and your individual commitment to studying. Learning English isn’t easy, but it can be life-changing. The more time and effort you put in, the faster you will progress.  

What we do know, is that if you stick to your personalized learning plan, attend your planned private and group classes, and complete your self-study exercises, you will progress. Students who follow their plan, on average, level up every 12 weeks. But this also depends on how much time they can commit to learning (many students manage to progress even faster).

Because every learning plan is personalized, your price is also personalized. The cost of our English courses depends on the following factors: 

• Which English course you choose (Business, General, TOEFL, TOEIC, or Travel) 

• The amount of private and group classes you want 

• Your budget and available time 

We personalize courses for our learners because the more control you have, the better your learning outcome. We are committed to meeting the different needs of our learners in terms of price, flexibility, and course options. Find out more about our offers by clicking here.
