How to open an English school

The development of the tourism industry and foreign economic relations increases the importance of the English language. Unfortunately, the general education program in an average school does not provide an adequate level of proficiency. That is why English schools that provide quality training at an international level are in great demand.

Instruction manual

1

Register your own company. To start a business, it will be enough for you to open an IP, but in this case you will be able to teach a certain educational course lasting no more than 72 academic hours. If you want to provide more complete services in this area, you need to open an LLC or ANO and get a license.

2

Remove a room consisting of a reception room and at least one study room. If you do not have a very large start-up capital, you can spend a minimum amount of money on decor and furniture. Just take care of cleanliness, good sound insulation, comfortable tables and chairs and the required amount of training materials.

3

Choose the methodology for the classes at your school. The program should be different from the traditional one. It is better to take one of the Western methods as a sample. Bet on a communicative teaching method: students should begin to speak independently from the first lessons.

4

Make a clear gradation of groups according to the level of knowledge of the language and age. Enter a pre-test to assess your English proficiency. As a rule, Western models of training require a set of training materials and a system of final tests for each level.

5

Pay special attention to the development of children's activities, because the trend of early learning of the English language only increases every year. Bet on a developmental component in English lessons. In the lessons you can use drawing, modeling, soft toys, outdoor games. Memorize with the kids as many poems and songs as they can tell and sing to their parents. For the holidays, prepare theatrical performances in English.

6

Establish bilateral relations with one of the English-language educational institutions. You will be able to exchange experiences, invite native speakers to teach. This will be an additional competitive advantage for your school.

note

For schoolchildren, do not make too much of a gap with the compulsory program, since the goal of most of them is to successfully pass the exam. If you focus on the conversation and leave aside the grammar, students may not get the results they expected.

Useful advice

For the summer period, when the demand for educational services is constantly falling, organize English language camps for children. For adults, the best option would be internships abroad, combined with a vacation program.
