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.
Lesson Types
Goal-Oriented Lesson Content
We recommend the optimal lesson content based on your child's goals and preferences.

Pronunciation & Communication Foundations
Elementary to middle school students / Children just starting serious English study
Develop clear pronunciation and the ability to express oneself in English
- Activities focused on listening to and imitating native English
- Conversation practice on familiar topics: self-introduction, describing favorites, school life
- Pronunciation training using basic phonics and rhythm
- Comfortable with English but lacking speaking opportunities
- School classes alone aren't enough for pronunciation and conversation development

Eiken Test Preparation
Elementary to high school students / Children aiming for Eiken Grade 5 through Pre-1
Pass Eiken and build a foundation for future English advancement
- Level-appropriate preparation for listening, reading, writing, and speaking
- Role-play practice for the secondary interview (speaking test)
- Instruction focused on exam patterns using past papers and similar questions
We focus not just on test techniques but on thoroughly building the vocabulary, grammar, and expressions required for each level.

For Returnees & International School Students
Returnee children / Those attending or who attended international or overseas schools
Maintain and further develop English skills already acquired
- Discussion and presentation practice based on school assignments and reading
- Writing corrections (essays, reports, etc.)
- Academic topics to expand vocabulary and expression
- After returning, fewer opportunities to use English in the local language environment
- Want to maintain or improve English thinking and expression abilities

Parent & Student Testimonials

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
本城様について教えていただけますか?
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。
ELTに入会された経緯について教えてください。
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。
ELTのレッスンの様子はどうでしたか?
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。
お子様のご進学先について教えていただけますか?
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。
ELTでの受験対策はどうでしたか?
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。
どのようなお子様が通われていましたか?
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。
日本とイギリスで教育の違いはありましたか?
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。
どんな方にELTをおすすめされたいですか?
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。
