The 1-on-1 Online English Program at HELP English Academy is an online course designed to connect your studies at home with your future studies abroad. With over 23 years of experience in online teaching, this program is an important part of our Academic Programs. It helps students start practicing English before traveling to the Philippines or keep up their speaking skills after returning home.
1. Introduction to the Online 1-on-1 Program
Course Overview
Instead of being just a simple online course, HELP Online matches the lessons taught at HELP Clark Campus and HELP Baguio Campus. Classes are taught only by our regular, full-time campus teachers. This helps new students feel comfortable with our teaching style before they arrive and helps graduates keep their skills from fading.
Course Objectives

- Keep Up Your English Fluency: Keep your IELTS, TOEIC, or ESL levels through daily 25- or 50-minute practice classes after you go back home.
- Flexible and Personal Classes: Get 1:1 lessons designed just for you, which is great for busy workers and young students who cannot travel right now.
