Get to know ESB, a motivating environment where children can learn English from native English-speaking teachers, successfully prepare for the language exams that await them in the future, or even prepare for university entrance exams abroad or locally.

We lived in a Spanish-speaking country for a year, where our then 4-5 year old son picked upside English as well. We wanted to maintain and improve his English (and also nurture his enthusiasm for languages). We were worried that starting first grade having 4 lessons a week would be too much for a 6 year-old, but from the beginning he hasgone to the lessons with enthusiasm and joy. The best part of it all is that he doesn’t even consider it studying, rather an active, playful activity where they also speak only in English. Miss Marcell is not just professional, but also very very kind, always smiling, and her good mood is absolutely contagious. Our son always leaves the lessons in a cheerful mood, and it is a joy for us to speak to her as well and to see how she finds something to praise in every child, each day seeing what they did well. A positive approach to children is a given here. It is a great counterbalance to the more rigid and lecture-based school days and teaching, because here it’s not like at other schools where the children sit quietly at a desk listening to their teacher explain to them, and don’t dare to speak even after ten years, the focus not being on what the children know, but on what they don’t know… It’s good to see that language can be taught like this too, with the children having fun, playing, feeling good, becoming more confident and enthusiastic about learning and speaking the language.
