Features

ELT Kids English Course Features

Native Instructors for Authentic Pronunciation

During the critical period when children absorb language sounds most easily, extensive exposure to native English helps develop natural pronunciation and intonation that will serve them throughout life. We provide detailed guidance on mouth and tongue positioning, not just sound imitation.

Goal-Oriented Curriculum for Future Success

We design curricula tailored to each child's goals—daily conversation, school preparation, Eiken, study abroad preparation, or intensive summer school prep. Rather than vague conversation practice, we work backward from clear objectives to provide focused instruction.

One-on-One Lessons Tailored to Each Child

Children who might get lost in group lessons thrive in our one-on-one setting. With guidance adapted to each child's personality, strengths, and areas for improvement, we nurture a genuine love of English.

Parent Communication & Progress Reports

Through counseling and regular progress reports, we keep parents informed about their child's current level and next steps. We also provide simple advice for supporting learning at home.

Parent & Student Testimonials

本城 智子

本城 智子

全国通訳案内士 / 2人姉妹のお母さま

イギリス名門校に合格し英検1級取得

Q

本城様について教えていただけますか?

A

2人の娘が小学校3年生、8歳の時に夫の駐在に付き添いイギリスに行きました。

Q

ELTに入会された経緯について教えてください。

A

現地校で受験があると知り、大急ぎで準備をしました。日本の数学は割と進んでいるので、そんなに苦労はしなかったのですが、英語は全然足りないのでELTに入会しました。

Q

ELTのレッスンの様子はどうでしたか?

A

ELTのブライアン先生に初歩から始めていただき、どんどんレベルに合わせて上げていっていただきました。レッスンでは笑い声が聞こえてきたので、楽しそうだなと思って見ていました。

Q

お子様のご進学先について教えていただけますか?

A

South Hampstead High Schoolというイギリスで一番古い女子のための学校として設立された学校に合格することができました。

Q

ELTでの受験対策はどうでしたか?

A

レベルに合わせて上げていってくれました。South Hampstead High Schoolは現地でもとても有名な学校なので、過去問のような問題であったりとか出題の傾向が分析されていて書店にもあるので、そういったテキストを使いながら合格レベルまで上げていってもらいました。

Q

どのようなお子様が通われていましたか?

A

ご両親は裕福な方が多くて、お手伝いさんがいるようなお宅とか、プールがついているようなお家に遊びにも行ったりしていてびっくりしました。社会で活躍をされるようなご両親を持ったお子さんが多かったです。

Q

日本とイギリスで教育の違いはありましたか?

A

日本の教育だと先生の言うことを聞いて、先生の言うとおりに出来たらマルがもらえるとか、親を困らせないことが大事という風に教育されました。海外 (イギリス) では自分で考えて自分でやりなさい、自分の責任ですよというような校風を持った学校だったので、自由度が高く子どもが選択しても良い、その代わり責任がついてくるという教育に違いを感じました。

Q

どんな方にELTをおすすめされたいですか?

A

本物の英語をお子様に触れて欲しい方。とても綺麗な英語をELTの先生方は話されますので、綺麗な英語で話す癖をつけたり、馴染むよいうような意識を持たれた保護者の方にはお子様にELTをおすすめしても良いと思います。

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat age can children start lessons?

It depends on the child's personality, but we generally recommend starting around early elementary school age (6+). For younger children, parent-child lesson participation can be arranged.

QIs it okay if my child has never studied English before?

Absolutely. We start by making English fun, incorporating the native language as needed to build comfort with English.

QShould parents attend lessons?

For younger children, we recommend parents observe the first few lessons for reassurance. Once comfortable, children can have one-on-one time with their instructor.

QIs there homework?

We assign manageable homework based on your family's situation. Lessons without homework are also possible—just let us know.

QCan students transfer to other courses (International School, Boarding School preparation, etc.)?

Yes, absolutely. We recommend the optimal course as your child's goals and level evolve.
