About Us

The best gift that you can give to your child today is the confidence to speak the English language. Therefore, we are excited to become part of your child’s future success. We enable your child to be an English speaker, so that your child can excel at school and in his/her future career. 

As former English students, we totally understand the struggles your child experiences with regards to English lessons.  At First Step English Academy, we use these experiences to empower your child to look forward to joining our classes, every time.  Our mission is to create a nurturing space where children learn the language because he/she enjoys it, and feels the value of it. The increased confidence that comes to knowing English will not only boost your child’s performance at school, but will also catapult him/her in her future University entrance exam and in future company jobs.
