Why choose us?
Getting tenses right in the English language is of paramount importance.
The English language uses tenses to express ideas, emotions, intentions, purpose, motives, or simply put: meaning. Get it right, and you'll have mastered all essential communication skills. But get it wrong, and the entire context will become worthless.
We feel passionate about tenses.
We believe - given the right tools - everyone has the ability to learn all 12 tenses well. We have dedicated two full courses solely to teaching English verb tenses.
Have you ever wondered why it takes you so long to construct your sentences in English? Want to be able to think in English, but confused about the grammar?
Do you ever find yourself in a real-life situation where the conversation has moved onto a different topic, but you are still trying to translate your sentences from your mother tongue to English?
Let's do Elephant English will help you learn a second langue well and keep up with any conversation in English.
How do we make this possible?
The animated lessons will guide you to discover the meaning of the examples yourself directly in English. It's a bit like learning a second mother tongue. With time, when you are having a real-life conversation, your answers will come to you in seconds, without having to translate them from your native language. Read the following ten points, which form the basis of our unique learning methods, and explain our approach to business.
10 reasons why you should choose us:
1. We cut out the middle man: your mother tongue. We prompt you to learn the rules in English:
Rules are much better understood when students learn them directly in English.
Learning rules in a mother tongue is a much outdated method. Students always struggle, as they are constantly having to translate in their heads while they speak. We incorporate a self-discovery learning method with animated examples and practice exercises into our lessons by using the 3 learning styles as follows:
2. A bit of science - visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles:
Using the 3 different learning styles people naturally posess - VAK: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic - is a fun and highly efficient way to absorb information.
Science tells us, combining the 3 learning styles accelerates understanding.
Visual learners will be able to engage with our animated videos. Students who prefer the auditory method can simply press the button and relax with the video audio. And those who are more keen on the Kinesthetic learning style, can print out our free ebook. This will allow them to interact with the course material for a hands on approach - touch/make notes/mark up important sections.
3. Clever teaching - a bit more science:
We use a technique based on what's called Serial Position Effect in Psychology. This simply means that people tend to remember the first and the last bits of information best:
The first bit of information:
Each lesson starts with an animated example presenting the rules in context within a short story or sentence. Context gives meaning to the rules, which makes it super easy to remember and apply them.
The last bit of information:
Straight to the point. Students do not get lost in details. At the end of each lesson we highlight important parts with our elephant logo.
4. Timeline Solutions:
Timelines are an excellent way to demonstrate the aspect-tense-nature of verb tenses. Timelines are designed to show:
Tense: when something happened, and
Aspect: how something happened.
5. Our lessons are never longer than 3 minutes at a time:
Our students find that the short lessons also give them flexibility, as they can fit them in at work/school during a short break. People like to watch them many times, reinforcing their knowledge more efficiently by repetition: As we know, a great deal of learning is achieved by repetition!
6. All units are suitable for self-taught, independent use, or for learning with a teacher:
All videos are made with a user-friendly vocabulary. Our focus is to teach the rules well, and we do this by using only certain sets of words that are easy to manage.
7. We reinforce your knowledge with practice exercises after each unit:
8. We pride ourselves with our honest pricing policy:
We set our prices at an affordable level, as we believe everyone has the right to access high quality education at a low cost. Students will receive 6 months access to all courses. (Bundled courses provide a total of 6 months access also.)
9. Subtitles:
Each lesson has an English subtitle option. While we teach in English only, we do realise that students need to use a dictionary during their learning. Just pop new words into Google translate, and you are ready to move on!
10. Adjustable playback speed for each lesson - 6 different options:
This option caters for everyone! If you would like more time to process information, use our half-speed playback option. If you wish to revise quickly, or are a fast learner, use our time and a half and double time playback option.
