How We Do It
We do things differently.
Our unique teaching approach prioritizes confidence, real-life use, and a communicative style to help you reach your goals.
Fluency First
To be successful, learners need to be confident when using the language before mastering the grammar. While we also focus on accuracy, we know it comes more naturally as we grow your confidence.
The Communicative Approach
In our classes you will always SPEAK! We practice a little of everything but we focus on oral production so you can use your language skills in real life.
100% in the target language
From day one, classes are held in the target language [English or Portuguese] with no direct translations. It may seem challenging, but it builds skill and confidence quickly. Trust us!
Authentic
Learn the language the way people actually use it! No textbooks—just real-world resources and customized materials that make learning relevant to YOU.
What We Believe
-
Connecting people through language. Whether for business, travel, or personal growth, we teach communication that helps you connect meaningfully.
-
A community where learners feel free to take language risks, learn from mistakes, and grow with peers and teachers. Our supportive community brings people together across borders.
-
Respect, inclusivity, and the positive power of language. Our safe and vibrant learning environment is open to all that are eager to grow their communication and confidence.
How We Started
Founded at the very start of the 2020 pandemic, Speak More With Me started from our founder Molly Kirksey's childhood bedroom. What began as virtual classes for just a few students has grown into an international program, with teachers from the U.K., Brazil and the U.S., and students from around the world.
