Why teens don't get enough speaking practice at school

Learning a language is hard, and school does a lot of it well: grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing. Where school runs out of room is speaking. Classes are large, time is short, and most teens go weeks without saying more than a sentence out loud.

That is the gap Live English fills. Every lesson is built around your teen talking, with a native teacher who gives them space, attention, and real feedback.

What your teen will be able to do

Within a few months of weekly practice, teens typically:

  • Speak up without freezing or translating in their head first
  • Hold a real conversation on familiar topics
  • Sound more natural, with better pronunciation and rhythm
  • Walk into school oral exams and presentations far calmer

Why parents choose Live English

Native teachers experienced with teenagers, not generic tutors.

Lessons they look forward to, built around your teen's interests.

Flexible booking that fits around school and activities.

A method focused on speaking, the skill school has least time for.

Trusted since 2007, with 10,000+ learners coached and 4.9/5 on Google.

Frequently Asked Questions about our English Courses for Teens

Any motivated teenager between 12 and 18 who wants to speak English more confidently. We work with all levels, from those who freeze up in class to students preparing for Cambridge or IELTS, bilingual families keeping English alive, and teens getting ready to study abroad.

Private lessons are live and 1:1 with a native teacher on Zoom, booked at times that fit around school. Teens Group is a weekly 45-minute group class on Zoom with up to 12 teenagers. Teens Combo brings both together: one private lesson and one group class every week. You can start whenever you want.

One private lesson a week (Teens) is €65 a month, and two private lessons a week (Teens+) is €115 a month. The weekly group class (Teens Group) is €49 a month. Teens Combo, one private lesson plus one group class a week, is €95 a month instead of €114 if you bought them separately. Every plan starts with a free trial lesson.

Yes. Our teachers are experienced native English speakers who specialise in teaching teenagers. They know how to keep lessons fun and engaging while giving real feedback on speaking.

The focus is speaking, which is different from how school teaches English. That said, regular lessons grow vocabulary and reduce grammar mistakes, which usually helps with school results and oral exams too.

Any level, as long as your teen has already started English at school and can hold a simple conversation. The free trial lesson includes a friendly assessment so the teacher can confirm the right starting point and plan.

Yes. The trial is a 1:1 lesson to get to know your teen, assess their level, and suggest the best plan. There is no commitment and no credit card required.

Yes. The Teens+ plan includes two private lessons a week, which siblings can split between them if you prefer.

The Teens Group is a weekly 45-minute class on Zoom where your teen practises English with a small group of other teenagers from different countries, led by a native teacher. The private Teens and Teens+ plans give one-to-one attention at your teen’s own pace. Many families use the group for regular, affordable speaking practice, on its own or together with private lessons in Teens Combo.

Groups are small, up to 12 teenagers, so everyone gets to speak. We group teens by age and level as much as possible, so your teen is with peers they can relate to and learn comfortably with.

A mix of group discussion, vocabulary games, learning activities and cultural explorations. The focus is on speaking and building confidence in a friendly, international setting, not sitting and listening.

Your teen should be able to express ideas in English at around A2 level or above. If you are not sure, book a free trial and we will check their level and tell you whether the group is a good fit.

Yes, with Teens Combo: one private 30-minute lesson and one 45-minute group class every week for €95 a month, which saves €19 compared with buying them separately. If your teen is on Teens+ and would also like to join the group, contact us and we will set it up with a discount.

Yes to both. You can book a free trial before you subscribe, and you can cancel the group plan whenever you like. The month already paid is not refundable, but you will not be charged again after you cancel.
