Meet Our Teachers

Our teachers are always encouraging, cheerful and friendly. When students come to Active English, they learn in an atmosphere of "positive" unpredictability" where the walls expand, the ceiling lifts, differences begin to dissolve and a tremendous sense of 'mental mobility' abounds. Risks become adventures, and even the most timid students may answer questions or surprise everyone by revealing hidden talents. Outrageous streaks of genius emerge without self-consciousness, and the students become receptive to exploring new possibilities. Our aim is to promote learning as a joyous experience!
