Our approach

Why Humans of English?

Language is learned by people, with people, for real reasons. We teach English as something you use, not just something you study, so every lesson connects to a situation you'll actually face.

Read about our approach
  • Practical learning

    Use English in real-life situations, from ordering a coffee to leading a meeting, so new language sticks.

  • Personalised growth

    Recognise your strengths and the areas to work on, and focus your time where it makes the biggest difference.

  • Exam readiness

    Understand exactly how your exam works, then practise the skills and timing each section demands.

  • Communication confidence

    Express your ideas clearly and naturally, and stay calm when a conversation goes somewhere unexpected.

Skills development

Build the skills that open doors.

Strong English isn't one skill. It's six working together. Here's what we practise, and why each one matters.

  1. Speaking & Fluency

    Speak in connected sentences, keep going when you make a mistake, and sound like yourself in English.

    Five ways to speak better
  2. Listening & Pronunciation

    Follow natural-speed speech, recognise how sounds link together, and be understood the first time.

    Try a listening routine
  3. Grammar & Vocabulary

    Learn grammar through use and vocabulary in useful chunks, so accuracy supports fluency instead of blocking it.

    Everyday vocabulary
  4. Reading & Comprehension

    Skim for the main idea, scan for detail, and understand opinion and argument in longer texts.

    How we teach reading
  5. Writing & Academic English

    Plan, structure and develop your ideas in clear paragraphs, from emails to exam essays.

    Structure an essay
  6. Confidence & Presentation Skills

    Introduce yourself, present an idea and answer questions with calm, clear delivery.

Self-check

Find your starting point.

Which description sounds most like you today? Choose a level to see where to begin.

“I can manage simple, familiar situations.”

You understand and use everyday expressions and basic phrases. Longer conversations, fast speech and unfamiliar topics still feel difficult, and you often translate in your head before you speak.

Recommended next steps

  • Build core vocabulary for daily situations: shopping, travel, work and introductions.
  • Practise the sounds of English with short, clear audio you can repeat.
  • Speak in short, supported conversations every week, without waiting to be "ready".

“I can get my point across, but I search for words.”

You can talk about familiar topics and follow the main ideas of clear speech. You still pause to find words, make errors with more complex grammar, and find natural-speed conversations or abstract topics challenging.

Recommended next steps

  • Extend your answers with reasons, examples and linking words.
  • Train your listening with natural-speed audio and transcripts.
  • If you have an exam goal, start learning the test format now.

“I'm fluent, and I want to be precise.”

You communicate comfortably on most topics. Your goals now are precision, natural expression and performing at your best under pressure, whether in an exam room, an interview or a meeting.

Recommended next steps

  • Refine your range with collocations and more precise vocabulary.
  • Do timed exam practice and get detailed feedback on writing.
  • Practise presentations, interviews and professional writing.

This is an informal self-check to help you choose where to begin. It is not a proficiency test, and it does not give you an official level.

About us

English is more than a subject. It's a way to connect.

Humans of English exists to help learners communicate clearly, prepare for the opportunities that matter to them, and develop real confidence through practical English education.

Behind every exam score is a person with a plan: a university place, a new job, a move abroad, or simply the wish to be understood. We keep that person at the centre of everything we teach, combining structured exam preparation with the everyday communication skills that make English feel like your own.

Founded by Mansi Singh, a Cambridge CELTA-certified English educator and communication skills trainer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions learners ask most. Can't find yours? Get in touch.

Both tests measure your English for study, work or migration, but they feel different on the day. IELTS has Academic and General Training versions, and its Speaking test is a live conversation with an examiner. TOEFL iBT focuses on academic English and is taken on a computer, with your spoken answers recorded.

The most important question is which test your university, employer or visa route accepts. Check that first, then choose the format that suits you.

Yes. Speaking practice is useful from the very first lesson. Beginners start with everyday phrases, clear pronunciation of common sounds and short, supported conversations, and build from there. You don't need to "know enough grammar" before you start speaking.

Speak a little every day rather than a lot once a week. Learn phrases as whole chunks, copy short clips of natural speech (shadowing), and record yourself so you can hear your own progress. Regular feedback from a teacher helps you fix the habits you can't notice yourself.

Read: Five Ways to Improve Your English Speaking

Practise all three parts: short answers on familiar topics (Part 1), a long turn of up to two minutes on a topic card (Part 2), and a deeper discussion of ideas (Part 3). Focus on what examiners assess: fluency and coherence, vocabulary, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation.

Absolutely. Free articles, podcasts, videos and practice tests can take you a long way. What free resources rarely give you is a plan that fits your level, and feedback on your speaking and writing. Use them alongside a clear routine and, when you can, some guided practice.
