Group courses · 2–4 children
English courses for kids in small groups — online and in Trnava
Two to four children, one teacher and a lesson where people actually talk. The others are at the same point, so the first sentence out loud is not as scary as in front of a whole class.
We put groups together by age, level and time — that is why the application is not an order and you pay only once the group is together. You don’t need to know your child’s level in advance: we find it out in the demo lesson, or you can see it right away with a short online test, free of charge. The test can be hard for younger children. We recommend trying it from about the age of 10–12.
Who this course is for
Group lessons for children from 6 to 12, two to four children in a group. Most of them come to us with one of these four things.
Understands, but doesn’t speak out loud
In the lesson the child talks not only to the teacher but to the other children. In front of a peer who is hunting for words just as slowly, the first sentence comes much more easily than in front of twenty classmates.
Enjoys company
Games in pairs, contests, skits together. Some children only get going when there is someone their own age in the lesson — and then at home they ask when the next one is.
School is fine, speaking is missing
The child knows the grammar and the words, there is just nowhere to use them. The lesson is built around conversation: most of the time the children are talking, not filling in exercises.
Looking for a better price
A month in a small group costs roughly half of one-to-one lessons. The child gets a teacher and peers to argue with in English about the rules of the game.
If you are looking for something else
- Needs their own pace, or feels shy in front of others? Individual English for kids
- Is your child 13 or older? Group courses for teenagers
- Mainly about schoolwork and grades? English tutoring
How children learn English with us
Three things we do differently from school.
A group, not a class
Two to four children, not twenty
In a group like that there is no back row to hide in — every child gets to speak several times a lesson. We put children together by age and level, so nobody waits and nobody has to catch up.
Practice between lessons
Quest AI, our own app
Between lessons the child practises in Quest AI. There is grammar by topic, dialogues from everyday situations and free conversation with our bots, who will sit through the same sentence a hundred times. Access is included in the course price. We don’t give this part to children under eight — at that age the teacher is enough.
Role-play and skits
Ordering ice cream in English
One child orders, the other serves, then they swap roles. The sentence is said out loud and to a peer — not to the teacher and not for a grade.
English opens the door to a world of stories and games
- Favourite films and songs — the child understands them in the original, without waiting for the dubbing.
- In games the child suddenly understands what the characters are saying, instead of guessing from the pictures.
How a lesson goes
We agree the time, the length and the format once the group is together — and then we stick to them.
-
When
Late afternoon, most often between 15:00 and 19:00. We fine-tune the exact day and hour with all the parents at once, when the group is together.
-
Where
Online via Google Meet from home, or in person in Trnava at Andreja Kubinu 8. You choose the format in the application — online and Trnava are always separate groups.
-
How many children
Two to four. We put them together by age and level: for the younger ones we look for peers; for the older ones a two-year gap is enough. We start with a pair, so there is no waiting for a full group.
-
How long and how often
A lesson lasts 55 minutes — not 60, so the teacher can catch her breath and pour a glass of water between lessons. Once or twice a week, which is 4 or 8 lessons a month.
-
Feedback for you
We tell you regularly how it is going and give specific advice on what helps at home. And no homework that takes an hour and a half.
Who teaches the lessons
One teacher, the same one every lesson. The children don’t have to start getting to know someone new each time.
Mgr. Júlia Ratynska
English · Slovak · Ukrainian · Russian · Spanish
If a child doesn’t understand something in English, Júlia explains it in the child’s own language. In the first lessons she finds out what the children in the group are really into — football, Minecraft, horses, space. She builds the lesson around that, because that is what they have something to say about in English too. She corrects mistakes in a way that doesn’t put a child off the next sentence.
Quest AI — English between lessons as well
The group meets once or twice a week. Talking can happen every day.
The child turns on the microphone and says a sentence. Julka answers out loud, corrects it and is in no hurry. And a slip in front of Englík costs nothing — he is a guinea pig whose English is in exactly the same shape.
- Speaking out loud — the child talks into the microphone and hears the answer right away
- A personal dictionary — a new word is saved with one tap and is still there a week later
- Role-play challenges — ordering in a restaurant, a visit to the doctor, a conversation at the bank
- You install the app on your phone, and the login lasts three months
Access is included in the course price. We don’t give this part to children under eight — at that age the teacher is enough.
See the price and sign upHow to join a group
We put groups together by age, level and the time that suits your child. Fill in the application — we get in touch as soon as the group is together, agree the exact time, and only then you pay.
Group course application
Our groups are small — 2 to 4 students. To place your child with children of similar age and level, we need a few details. You pay only once the group is formed and you confirm the schedule.
How to start
Three steps. The first two are free and commit you to nothing.
Free demo lesson
One lesson online, no payment and no card. The teacher sees where the child stands, and the child sees whether this is fun. If it isn’t, we part on good terms.
You fill in the application
The age, the level and the times your child can make. Feel free to tick more days and hours than you plan to attend: the more there are, the sooner we find children who fit the same slot.
We get in touch when the group is together
We write the day, the hour and the date of the first lesson and send the payment link. We write by e-mail or WhatsApp — with most parents it is WhatsApp, which tends to be quicker.
What parents say
Thank you for tutoring Ninka all year long. She told me she wants to continue in September. I'm so glad she enjoys English with you — before that, she couldn't even look at it. 🙏🤗
I never got the chance to thank you for your kind approach, patience and dedication with our kids — thank you once again. You are a truly lovely person. 🥰
A great English school for kids and teenagers. The teachers are very kind and patient and create a friendly atmosphere. Lessons are clear and playful, and children learn naturally, without stress. I appreciate the individual approach and the small groups.
Frequently asked questions
Six things parents ask about most often.
In a group the lesson runs on without them, and it counts: the other children came. We only move the lessons we cancel ourselves: public holidays, school breaks, the teacher being ill.
We send the child what was missed and catch up on it briefly in the next lesson, so they stay in step with the group.
A computer, tablet or phone with internet and a place where nobody disturbs them. Headphones help more than a camera. You don’t have to install or buy anything for the lesson — Google Meet opens in the browser.
We take applications all year round and start with just two children, so there is no waiting for a full group. How quickly a group comes together depends mostly on time: the more slots you tick in the application, the sooner we find children who fit the same one.
If no group comes together within two weeks, we get in touch ourselves and offer another time or one-to-one lessons. We won’t leave you waiting in silence.
Only once the group is complete and the time confirmed do we send the payment link. The course is paid monthly in advance: by transfer via QR code or through the GoPay gateway — card, bank transfer, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Prices are final, we are not VAT payers. You commit to one month at a time — if you decide not to continue, you simply don’t pay for the next one. The details are in the Refund Policy.
Our own app, access to it is included in the course price. Inside there is grammar by topic, dialogues from everyday situations and free conversation with our bots, who don’t mind hearing the same sentence for the tenth time.
It is an addition to the lesson with the teacher, not a replacement. We don’t give this part to children under eight.
In a group the child learns to speak with peers, and a month works out cheaper. If they need their own pace or feel shy in front of others, it is worth looking at individual lessons for kids.
The first step is yours, we take care of the rest
You can ease in with one free lesson, or fill in the application right away. Both ways lead to the same thing — a child who is not afraid to speak up in English.
Demo lesson
No payment, no card and no commitment to continue. After the lesson the teacher tells you where the child stands and what would help — even if you end up deciding this isn’t for you.
