Welcome to Brown Cow English. We teach English on Skype to people all around the world. Director of Studies Nathaniel Barrett founded Brown Cow English back in 2010. Having taught English in British Council accredited schools since 2004, Nathaniel decided to branch into the world of online Skype English language lessons. His aim was to provide the same quality he had found in British Council accredited offline schools, with a focus on experienced TEFL certified teachers, including CELTA and Trinity qualified, but online. The same standard but at a fraction of the cost you would pay for one to one lessons in person. We welcome you with open arms and are very excited that you are interested in joining the English language learning revolution - learning English on Skype!
What Our Students Say
About Brown Cow English
Skype English language learning is growing rapidly. What was once considered unusual is becoming mainstream. This is largely due to word of mouth. Students who try learning English on Skype rarely go back to learning one to one in the flesh.
This is because once you study English on Skype, you realise that the quality and attention you receive are the same but the price is half what you would pay to meet a teacher in person. Not only that but also you do not have to travel to meet them or have anyone invading your personal space.
Lessons are flexible so you can cancel last minute should something come up and rearrange your class. Students have lessons before work, at work, after work, at the weekend and on holiday. The list is endless!
We teach General English on Skype, Business English on Skype and Exam classes. You will find all of our courses covered in detail on the courses page. General English is our most popular course and all aspects of your Englsh language development are covered. Learning Business English works fantastically well on Skype as many business meetings are now done using Skype or similar programmes. Preparing for interviews on Skype is fantastic too. Students take part in role plays and challenging simulations, gaining experience which is invaluable when it comes to the interview itself.
IELTS on Skype is our most popular exam class. Our students also commonly study FCE, CAE and CPE on Skype. Preparing for exam classes works particularly well on Skype. Lessons are recorded and speaking test practice is played back to the students. Our teachers encourage students to spot their own mistakes in their recordings. This has been hugely successful for us in terms of improving their accuracy – often the hardest and last thing to fix in a high level learner.
Learning a language is like playing a musical instrument. You have to practise regularly to maintain your level – use it or lose it! Learning English via Skype enables you to practise more freely and readily. Our 21st century busy working schedules do not allow for much free time – Skype English gives you the opportunity to fit it in. Join the English language learning revolution! We know you will love it! Whatever your needs as an English language learner, Brown Cow English will support you and help you flourish.
