What happens next?

After you select this FREE English Assesment and complete the online checkout process, you’ll receive an email to schedule your English Assessment. Please allow for 2-4 business days to receive your scheduling email. After you schedule your assessment, we’ll jump right into the assessment. If you like our style and decide to continue working with SENYC, you’ll then need to purchase a program that best fits you and your needs. Don’t worry! This assessment is usually a fun and informative step towards English fluency!

I look forward to working with you and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

PS - The first session is always an enjoyable ride:)

With light,

OUR STYLE OF TEACHING CONVERSATION

Talk Time

A major key to Speak English NYC (SENYC) is the thoughtful focus on increasing Student Talk Time (STT) and minimizing Teacher Talk Time (TTT). By reducing TTT as much as possible, we truly allow you to use, play and create the language - the main goal of most English Language Learners!

In the Classroom

The relationship between TTT and STT can be complex and varies between schools, teachers, and students. The SENYC curriculum is designed to maximize STT and ensures that students have the opportunity to use the target language in real-time conversation; giving students a chance to notice their mistakes; and for the class to be student-centered.

Moreover, with a heavy focus on STT, the teacher’s main role is to 1) model effective language, 2) be a corrective mirror for errors and mistakes, and 3) inspire the student to speak openly and freely.

More Benefits

You will not be nervous when you speak English. If you’re using SENYC to improve your English at work, you’ll feel more natural when speaking in front of clients, coworkers, and senior execs. Some of our students have said that they have had their first DREAM IN ENGLISH others had said that they now UNDERSTAND ENGLISH MUSIC without subtitles. The most important benefit is that you’ll start to feel as good speaking English as you do your native language.
