The Butterfly Teaching Effect
People always want to know our style of teaching. To put it bluntly, we don't say you are doing great if you are not doing great. We also don't do the work for you. We want you to learn English so you can fly.

Here is our philosophy, our style of teaching:

The Story Of The Butterfly Struggle
There was a little boy who loved caterpillars. One day he found one, took the little caterpillar home and made a home for the little guy. The little boy watched this caterpillar everyday making sure he had plenty of food & water.
​
One day the caterpillar started creating a cocoon...here he would go through a metamorphosis and become a butterfly. This was so exciting, the little boy couldn’t wait to see the butterfly!
​
One day it happened, a small hole appeared in the cocoon and the butterfly started to struggle to come out. The little boy was so excited! But then he noticed the butterfly was struggling so hard to get out and it looked like the butterfly wasn’t going to be able to break free! The little boy was so worried for the butterfly that he decided he had to help. He quickly got a pair of scissors and snipped the cocoon to make the hole bigger and the butterfly quickly emerged!
​
However, the butterfly had a swollen body and small shrivelled wings. The little boy sat and watched the butterfly expecting that, at any moment, the wings would dry out, get bigger and expand to support the swollen body.
But it never happened! The butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. The butterfly was never able to fly.
​
He then learned that the butterfly was supposed to struggle. In fact, the butterfly’s struggle to push its way through the tiny opening of the cocoon pushes the fluid out of its body and into its wings. Without the struggle, the butterfly would never, ever fly. The boy’s good intentions actually hurt the butterfly.
​
Struggling is actually an important part of any growth experience.
In fact, it is the struggle that creates you and gives you the ability to learn English, so you can fly.
