Join online classes with students from around the world for real-time speaking, listening and reading practice with an expert British Council teacher. We encourage you to interact with the materials, your teacher and your fellow students. Towards the end of class, the teacher will recap, share all the learning materials and ensure everybody has understood the lesson.

To access your student portal and attend our live online classes, you will need: 

. a desktop/laptop computer (preferred) or a mobile device (tablet, smartphone)

. a reliable Internet connection

. a headset or headphones with a built-in microphone

. a working webcam 

If you want to join online classes, please also note:

English Online classes take place using the free and secure Zoom software. Please make sure to

download Zoom to your device before your class begins. 

We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to access the English Online platform as some

portal features may not work as desired on other browsers.  

Your name on Zoom must perfectly match the name connected to your English Online account,

otherwise teachers reserve the right to deny you access to your live class.

To ensure an optimal learning experience for all, our students must commit to respecting our virtual

classroom rules. This means you must actively participate in your class and have your microphone and

webcam turned on at all times, so that your teacher and the other students can interact with you freely,

as they would in any face-to-face classroom.

All our teachers are highly qualified and experienced British Council English teaching professionals. Our teachers are experienced in working with students from many different countries and are online teaching specialists. Teacher training takes place regularly and teaching quality is monitored and evaluated by a team of specialists to ensure we deliver the best learning experience possible.

If you prefer a certain teacher, you can choose to only book classes with them, whether in a group

or private setting.

However, we believe it is pedagogically very valuable to have different teachers who have different

pronunciation and speak different dialects of English. This exposure to different accents is essential

in a world where English is spoken by millions of people from different countries, and we think this is the

best way for our students to be better prepared to deal with real-life situations.
