How it works
Our lessons are led by English Teachers who work with students in a 1-to-1 or small group setting to help students work through levels. The teacher tailors the challenge to the needs of the student, making it harder in real-time if they find it too easy. Students must complete an objective and use required vocabulary to meet their goals.
Each level is designed in line with the IELTS and TOEFL curriculum, ensuring that students engage with content that enhances their understanding of the English language. We focus on advancing learners from Pre-A1 to B2 and beyond by prioritizing essential grammar and vocabulary. Each session is structured to build upon previous knowledge, making learning both effective and enjoyable. Join us to unlock your potential in mastering English step-by-step!
1. The Mission Begins
In our speaking-based educational game, students don’t just learn—they go on adventures! Each class kicks off with a short reading mission and a few curriculum-aligned questions based on IELTS and TOEFL standards. These warm-ups help set the scene and get students ready for action.
2. Explore the Map
Next, students enter a digital world full of exciting tasks and challenges. But there’s a twist—they can’t move around by clicking or typing. To explore the map, students must use their voice and speak directly to the teacher.
3. Speak to Play
Want to cross a river? They’ll need to say, “I want to cross the river!” But be prepared—there might be a surprise waiting! The tutor could throw in a shark, and the student must quickly figure out how to escape or use one of their collected items to stay safe. It’s all about using creativity, critical thinking, and language skills.
4. Grammar in Action!
Once the student reaches the shore, the adventure continues. A princess is trapped at the top of a tower! The student sees a ladder, but they can’t just say, “climb.” If they’re learning the future tense, they’ll need to say, “I will climb the ladder to rescue the princess.” This makes grammar practice meaningful, active, and fun.
Research-based Design
Speaking to Learn a Language
Research shows that actively speaking a language is the fastest path to mastery. While textbooks and apps are helpful, nothing beats real conversation for developing authentic communication skills. The challenge? Most language learners don't get enough speaking practice in traditional classroom settings.
That's where innovative speaking practice comes in. By engaging in low-pressure, goal-oriented conversations, you'll build confidence naturally while mastering essential language skills. Whether you're taking a bus, shopping, or figuring out how to climb up a tree, practicing real-world scenarios prepares you for actual interactions. (Timpe-Laughlin, Pg. 14)
Transformational Play
Through situated, gamified practice, students don't just memorize facts - they use knowledge to tackle compelling challenges in safe, engaging environments. They're free to experiment, take risks, and learn from mistakes without real-world consequences. The results? Studies consistently demonstrate significant learning gains, where students are more motivated to learn and their rates of knowledge retention increase. Traditional English learning (textbooks, repetition, etc) fails as "if the curriculum focuses too much on explicit content... their experience may become impoverished, with a focus on memorization and grade attainment as opposed to meaningful content application." (Barab, Sasha A., Pg. 533)
