How We Teach English Online
At Virtual English, great teaching isn't just about delivering a lesson — it's about creating a structured, supportive experience that helps adult learners make real, measurable progress.
Live, Online & Instructor-Led
Real Classes. Real Teachers. Real Progress.
Every Virtual English class is delivered live by a qualified English instructor — not pre-recorded, not automated. You'll learn in real time, practice speaking with your teacher, ask questions, and engage with other learners in your group.
Our classes run online so you can join from anywhere in the world — all you need is a reliable internet connection.
✅ Live, instructor-led sessions
✅ Small group classes for personalised attention ie max 15 students
✅ Interactive, communicative learning environment
✅ Accessible from any device, anywhere, anytime
What to Expect in Every Class
Our lessons are structured, purposeful, and paced to keep you engaged. Each session develops all four core English skills:
Skills and What You'll Practise
Speaking: Discussions, role plays, pronunciation, fluency activities
Listening: Audio and video tasks, comprehension, real-world scenarios
Reading: Text analysis, vocabulary in context, critical thinking
Writing: Guided tasks, grammar in use, structured written responses
Lessons follow the Cambridge EMPOWER course framework — a globally respected curriculum designed specifically for adult learners. Each unit builds progressively on the last, so you're always moving forward with confidence.
CEFR-Aligned Progression
A Clear Path from A1 to C1
Every Virtual English course is mapped to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) — the international standard for measuring English proficiency.
This means your learning has direction. You'll know exactly what level you're at, what you're working towards, and what you'll be capable of when you complete your course.
CEFR Level and What You Can Do
A1 Starter Introduce yourself, handle simple everyday interactions
A2 Elementary Communicate in routine tasks, describe your background
B1 Pre-Intermediate Begin to express opinions and handle familiar everyday situations with growing confidence
B1+ Intermediate Travel, work, and communicate on a wider range of topics with greater independence
B2 Upper Intermediate Interact fluently with native speakers on a range of topics
C1 Advanced Express ideas with precision, fluency, and spontaneity
Not sure where you fit? We'll help you find your starting level before you enrol.
Between Classes — Learner Support
Support That Goes Beyond the Classroom
Learning doesn't stop when the class ends. Virtual English students have access to:
Course materials based on Cambridge EMPOWER digital resources
Practice activities to reinforce each lesson
Clear lesson summaries so you always know what was covered
Direct access to your instructor for questions and feedback
We're committed to making sure no learner feels lost between sessions.
Tracking Your Progress
Know Exactly Where You Stand
Progress at Virtual English is visible and measurable. Throughout your course you'll complete:
Unit-based assessments to check understanding and consolidation
Regular feedback from your instructor on speaking and writing tasks
A CEFR-aligned certificate upon successful completion of your level
Students enrolled in B1, B2, and C1 courses also have the option to sit the Cambridge Linguaskill Test — an internationally recognised online proficiency test — as part of their course fees. It's a powerful way to validate your English level for work, study, or migration purposes.
"Virtual English delivers its own online courses using Cambridge EMPOWER materials. Cambridge does not deliver or assess these courses."
