1. "ABOUT YOU" TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

A class at About You is high-energy and highly interactive. It is a technique for language systematization and appropriation, based on permanent dialogue and active listening between the teacher and the students.

A phonetic correction model that aims for the subconscious acquisition of a language’s phonic system, arguing that the intellectualization of phonetic correction hinders auditory perception. The Verbo-Tonal method is a continuous circle between emission – transmission – perception – and reproduction.

Key phrase technique that offers you a summary of the class or helps you in real-life situations. These key phrases are unique and can be applied in any general or professional context. You will have a key phrase in every class.

The importance of a teaching system is paramount, but what is even more important is the personalization of that teaching process. We do not limit ourselves to a single technique or system; we seek the best techniques for the individual student or group. Getting to know our students is very important. We teach according to your work pace, your personality, your learning style, and your objectives.

The teacher is the centerpiece of your process with us. The teachers who work with us are certified in their language. To work with us, having a certificate is not enough; teachers must align with the business philosophy. The teacher’s personality is reflected in the class and is a key component of their students’ success. When you learn a language, the teacher will be your guide toward achieving your goals.
