About Us
etc – english training concept is the result of many years of experience in teaching English. Based on a more natural approach to the language and its communication processes, we have developed our own effective style that seeks to overcome barriers and provide a smoother language acquisition process.
We aim to foster a connection with the English language grounded in its socio-cultural processes, so that the new speaker truly acquires (and not just learns) English, overcoming insecurity and other obstacles related to this acquisition.
Our work is based on a variety of techniques and resources, including conversation practice, reading, audio, video, pronunciation and phonetics exercises, writing, and even preparation for proficiency tests, always keeping in mind the specific needs and interests of each student.
