The English Academy of Hong Kong
With a philosophy of educating children 'how they learn' as opposede to how it suits us to teach; we feel that here at Teahk our approach is both, innovative and effective. We do not adopt the traditional 'teacher' approach, but rather a mentor or older brother/sister. Children are less intimidated and happier with this model and happy children, learn much more effectively. We encourage freestyle conversation and often take the lead from the students themselves.
Founded and operated by Native British teacher.
Over 10 successful years of teaching in HK.
Teaches Phonics, Early reading, Creative writing etc. (according to childrens' age and ability)
Free trial lesson is provided to all new students, it's essential for us to learn more about a new student before s/he starts. By assessing your child in their first lesson, we will then tailor future lessons based upon their individual personality and learning styles, ensuring pleasant, progressive and effective English language development.
We have always tried to remain a place where kids love to come. Somewhere that they can be themselves, where they are not judged and feel very welcome. School is tough enough and we do not want to simply be an extension or mirror of school life. Yes we have rules, but they are simple and fair, and ones which make sense to kids. We actively encourage our students to lie on the floor to work, (It's clean and they love it!) laugh and make silly sounds, feel unafraid to speak their minds and just enjoy their time with us. If children are happy, they are learning!
Learning a second language is difficult and painful, but this can be altered to manageable and fun, if the process is systemic to the way children actually learn, rather than how we might wish to teach. A baby learns its native language by:
1st. Listening.
2nd. Mimicking or copying.
3rd. Word association with objects.
4th. Sentence structure and conversation.
5th. Reading.
It may surprise you to notice that reading is the last on the list. Reading ability is essentially an indication or measuring tool, by which we can assess someone’s ability in a given language. Whilst reading is certainly a way of developing and improving a language, it is extremely difficult on its own, to actually use as a learning tool.
This is why we have adopted the very prestigious award winning reading programme... ‘Headsprout’, because it utilises, seeing, listening, speaking, phonic reading and physical interactiveness. It is almost impossible for a child not to progress quickly by sticking to this innovative learning strategy, because it mimics the natural way in which we approach learning a language.
