Specialist online English teaching
Small English classes and one-to-one tuition.
More attention than a large class. More connection than a recorded course. Northbridge teaches English online in two ways: small groups and one-to-one tuition, both live and both led by specialist English teachers.
Small groups. Deliberately small, so every student is known, can contribute and receives meaningful feedback, with the ideas and energy of their classmates alongside them.
One-to-one tuition. Lessons planned entirely around one student: their goals, their pace, their interests.
Supporting students worldwide.
Our classes
New groups open as soon as a suitable small group has been formed.

Genna has taught students in Switzerland, Dubai, Japan and the UK. She personally oversees the curriculum and selects every Northbridge tutor.
Northbridge is built on a simple belief: students make the greatest progress when they feel understood, intellectually challenged and genuinely supported.
