About the Program and the Instructor
We believe that a love for language isn’t born in a classroom, but on an adventure. Our mission is to show children that English is fun and to give them the confidence to use it. That’s why we turn every day into an interactive playground where language becomes a natural tool for games, creativity, and discovery.
This adventure will be led by Alona Surzhyk, a dynamic and experienced instructor with over 13 years of practice from Ukraine, Turkey, Spain, and the Czech Republic. Her approach is based on interactive methods that naturally draw children into the language. Alona enthusiastically adapts activities so that every child can experience success, lose their shyness, and build a lifelong positive relationship with English. Thanks to her experience and Ph.D. in pedagogy, you can be sure your child is in the best hands.
