Why GentleSpeak?
Here’s how it works.
Small Groups. Big Voices.
Online English classes built around participation where kids gain the confidence and have enough space to actually speak.
40 minutes.
Long enough to progress, short enough to stay relaxed and focused.
Reading that leads to talking.
Guided reading supports phonics, pronunciation, and comprehension naturally.
Four levels. One clear path.
Children join the group that fits their English today, and move up when they are ready.
A teacher who knows your child.
Small, stable groups mean teachers get to know how each child communicates - and where they need support.
See how they're doing.
A short quiz after each class, with clear progress parents can actually follow.
Practice beyond the group.
Optional 1-on-1 sessions give students extra time to practice and ask questions.
No pressure to be perfect.
Children get room to think, make mistakes, try again, and find their voice.
Join from home.
Join through Google Meet, with books and materials ready online. Nothing complicated to set up.

Thank you so much, Teacher Bart. We truly appreciate your guidance over the past months. We really enjoyed your humorous and engaging teaching style. Mia has made great progress in both English reading and speaking. Thank you!
Mia's momYesterday I met Emma's teacher at school. She said that this semester Emma has become very active in raising her hand and answering questions in health class, which is taught by a foreign teacher. Her answers have been correct, and she has become much more confident — she even had the chance to become the health class assistant. Seeing this change made me very happy, and I believe it is also related to attending Bart's class. Thank you!
Emma's familyMax will take the high school entrance exam next year and needs more time to prepare, so he can't continue your classes this semester. Thank you for teaching Max over the past few years — he has learned a lot from you. You are his favorite English teacher, and he will miss you. Thank you!
Max's parentToday is Chloe's last class. Thank you so much for these years. Chloe really enjoys your classes — every week she wants to read lots of books just so she can tell you she's been reading!
Chloe's momThank you for your thoughtfulness, and thank you for your teaching! Lily is a shy child who needs encouragement. 😊
Lily's parentThank you, Bart, for making your lessons so enjoyable.
Noah's dadHappy to meet you too! Both of my kids have improved a lot with you.
