Not another textbook-only course

Learn the language. Then use it.

Language becomes valuable when you can connect with a colleague, solve a problem, express your opinion or tell a story without rehearsing every sentence. That is where Shining Speech Professional begins.

Real conversations, not memorized scripts

Every lesson is anchored in recognizable settings: cafés, offices, health services, travel, meetings, interviews and everyday situations.

Speak from the very first lesson

Guided dialogue, partner exchanges, speaking challenges and live feedback help turn language knowledge into practical communication.

Grow into your professional voice

Progress toward presenting ideas, managing conversations, negotiating respectfully and speaking with greater clarity under pressure.

Designed for practical confidence

One conversation can open a door.

Imagine walking into a workplace and being able to introduce yourself naturally, ask the right question, understand the answer and keep the conversation going. Now imagine taking that confidence into a presentation, a client call or a professional meeting.

Instructor-led communicationA live Teacher models language, guides interaction and gives actionable feedback.

Supported speaking practiceStructured partner and Buddy-style interactions give learners more opportunities to participate, where offered.

Dynamic, visual lessonsCinematic scenarios, interactive prompts and practical dialogues keep language connected to situations.

American English in contextExplore language you can use in everyday life and professional environments.

The learning journey

From the first hello to meaningful influence.

Our 12-month curriculum is organized into 48 teaching weeks, with two-hour English sessions Monday through Friday.

A1Essential introductions, directions, everyday questions and practical needs.

A2Routines, appointments, travel, experiences and everyday problem-solving.

B1Longer conversations, explanations, opinions and workplace independence.

B2Meetings, negotiation, persuasive speaking, teamwork and storytelling.

C1–C2Nuance, leadership, complex discussions, facilitation and advanced speaking tasks.

A young learner with big ambitions? We love that. Enrollment opens at 16 and the program is written for adults, but some 15-year-olds are already curious about communication in the workplace, real-world problem-solving and professional conversations. The course can teach them a great deal, though we know that not every teenager dreams of discussing office meetings, business calls or workplace situations. And that is perfectly okay! If your child is genuinely excited by the program and you decide together that it is a good fit, a parent or another responsible adult must complete the course purchase. Please contact our admissions team before enrolling anyone under 16 so we can discuss suitability and learning arrangements.

12-month curriculum at a glance

A taste of the course. The rest is a surprise.

Ten playful scenarios from across the twelve months. The complete lesson library stays inside our classroom, where it belongs.

Everyday Launch · A1

The Café Order That Became a Mystery
You asked for tea. The waiter heard “three.” Now you have a table full of cups and a story to tell.

Everyday Connections · A2

The Suitcase Took a Different Vacation
Your bag appears to be enjoying another city. Explain what happened and negotiate a solution.

Everyday Independence · B1.1

The Password Is Definitely Not “Password”
The login refuses to cooperate. Explain the problem without losing your patience or your sense of humor.

Opinions & Solutions · B1.2

The Party Plan Nobody Agreed To
One friend wants a picnic, another wants a rooftop and someone booked the wrong Saturday.

Professional Interaction · B2.1

The Meeting That Could Have Been an Email
A simple decision has become an epic discussion. Bring everyone back to the point, politely.

Persuasion & Storytelling · B2.2

The Client Asked for “Just One Tiny Change”
That tiny change has grown three heads. Negotiate scope while keeping the relationship warm.

Precise Speaking · C1.1

Explain It to Someone Who Hates Jargon
An expert has 90 seconds to explain a complicated idea to a wonderfully confused audience.

Influence & Communication · C1.2

The Polite “Maybe” That Meant “Absolutely Not”
Decode indirect language, clarify intentions and rescue a cross-cultural conversation.

Mastery of Meaning · C2.1

A Perfectly Innocent Sentence Causes Chaos
One ambiguous phrase creates three interpretations. Rebuild the message with precision and wit.

Global Voice & Capstone · C2.2

The Keynote Starts. The Slides Disappear.
Your presentation technology quits. Your voice takes over, and somehow the audience loves it.

About language levels: The level labels describe the intended progression of curriculum activities, not a guarantee of reaching C2 proficiency. Individual results depend on starting level, participation, additional practice and learning pace. Decimal labels identify internal stages rather than separate official CEFR levels.

Monday to Friday, two instructional hours per day, across 48 teaching weeks in the 12-month curriculum.

Program structure

A complete pathway, built for real communication.

Our 12-month English learning pathway progresses through A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2, with live, interactive classes Monday through Friday.

Choose the learning format that suits your goals: 2 hours per day (Standard) or 3 hours per day (Extended).

The program includes 48 teaching weeks, 240 live class meetings, and 480 or 720 scheduled learning hours, depending on your chosen format.

Through real-life conversations, engaging scenarios, practical communication challenges and interactive speaking activities, you’ll build the confidence to use English naturally in everyday life and professional settings.

Foundation & Independence

Months 4–6 · B1.2 to B2.2
60 sessions · 120 hours. Develop longer conversations, negotiations, workplace discussion, feedback and persuasive storytelling.

CEFR stage names such as B1.1 and C2.2 are internal curriculum labels. The pathway describes instructional aims, not a guarantee that every learner will reach C2 within 480 scheduled hours. Progress depends on entry level, practice and individual development.

A typical learning day

Two hours. Real conversations. Monday to Friday.

Each weekday brings a live, two-hour speaking session. The activities below show a sample lesson flow; the Teacher adapts the pace and breaks to the group.

Time	Learning phase	What you’ll practice
00:00–00:20	Warm-up & useful language	Easy conversation starters, natural expressions and confidence building
00:20–00:50	Guided conversations	Partner dialogues, real-life questions and clarification
00:50–01:20	Scenario & role-play	A realistic situation with an unexpected, often funny twist
01:20–01:50	Independent speaking challenge	Decisions, problem-solving, storytelling and spontaneous responses
01:50–02:00	Feedback & takeaways	Personalized teacher guidance and next-day conversation goals

Sample instructional flow, not a fixed minute-by-minute requirement. Short breaks may be incorporated as needed.

How learning works

Learn through speaking, not through memorizing answers.

Lessons center on practical tasks and genuine information gaps. The Teacher guides and models language, while the Buddy helps sustain exchanges, introduce natural twists and invite every learner to speak.

Real scenarios

Daily life, travel, work, customer conversations, meetings, problem-solving and public speaking. Each situation offers a reason to ask, listen, clarify and respond.

Teacher + Buddy

Teachers model, coach and help students express meaning precisely. Buddies organize interaction, manage role changes and ask follow-up questions without supplying ready-made answers.

Speaking-first feedback

Progress is observed during live exchanges: taking turns, being understood, repairing confusion, adapting tone and reaching a meaningful outcome. The source blueprint does not include written student assignments or formal tests.

Admissions & entry level

For learners aged 16 and over.

Shining Speech™ Professional welcomes adults and emerging adults from 16, including A1 beginners, with placement matched to their starting level. Motivated 15-year-olds are considered by exception, with a parent or responsible adult completing the purchase.

The curriculum spans 12 teaching months. Start dates and the calendar are confirmed with admissions.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know.

How much does the program cost?

Professional Standard is $800 per month for a 12-month, 2-hours-per-day option. Professional Extended is $1,200 per month for a 12-month, 3-hours-per-day option. The separate two-month on-site Summer Super Intensive is $2,800 per month ($5,600 total), planned from 2027. Those prices are per tuition month, and a tuition month is 4 teaching weeks rather than a calendar month. Please ask admissions which option is available to you.

Who is Shining Speech Professional for?

Enrollment opens at 16, and the program is written for adults and emerging adults. Motivated 15-year-olds may be considered by exception, when the content matches their interests and a parent or responsible adult completes the purchase. Summer Super Intensive is for adults aged 18+.

Who can enroll in Shining Speech™ Professional?

Our regular Professional program is open from 16 and aimed at adults, including A1 beginners. We also welcome inquiries from parents of interested 15-year-olds, who are admitted only by exception. Their suitability should be discussed with admissions, and enrollment must be purchased by an adult. Summer Super Intensive is for students aged 18+ only.

Can my 15-year-old join the Professional program?

Potentially, yes — as an exception to our usual entry point of 16. Some teenagers genuinely enjoy learning how to communicate at work and in everyday professional situations. Others may find office-based topics less engaging. If your child likes the program and you decide together to enroll, a parent or another responsible adult must make the purchase. Please contact admissions to discuss the right fit. The Summer Super Intensive course is for adults 18+ only.

Do I need to be fluent before I start?

No. A1 is the entry stage for learners developing essential English. Placement and the right starting point should be discussed before enrollment.

How long is the program?

Twelve teaching months: 48 teaching weeks of lessons, Monday through Friday, or 240 class meetings in all. On the Standard timetable that is two hours a day and 480 scheduled hours; on the Extended timetable, three hours a day and 720. A teaching month is 4 teaching weeks rather than a calendar month. Calendar dates and holidays are confirmed before enrollment.

Is this a traditional grammar course?

The teaching approach is conversation-first. Practical language patterns and grammar support appear in real contexts, but the central focus is using English aloud, with guidance and live feedback.

Will I automatically reach C2 in 12 teaching months?

No. The program introduces tasks across an A1–C2 curriculum pathway; it does not guarantee a particular CEFR result or independent certification. Personal progress depends on prior knowledge, engagement, practice and individual pace.

How much does it cost, and when can I start?
