Questions Parents Often Ask

Simple, practical information to help your child get the most from their SureThing Kids lessons

✓ Inspired by real-life language immersion: SureThing Kids was created by a teacher and mum after seeing her own two young children learn a new language in less than a year through immersion when the family moved to Portugal.
✓ English-only teaching: Teachers use English throughout the lesson, helping children understand the language through movement and context. They listen, watch, copy actions and gradually begin using English themselves.
✓ Learn through play: Games, stories and interactive activities help children practice English naturally while keeping lessons fun, engaging and age-appropriate.
✓ 100% teacher attention: One-to-one lessons give your child the teacher’s full focus, with more speaking time, immediate support and activities tailored to their needs.
✓ Short, focused 25-minute lessons: Designed to suit young learners’ attention spans, helping children stay engaged and make the most of every session.

Each lesson is 25 minutes long — enough time for focused learning while keeping young learners engaged.

100% individual attention: Every lesson is taught one-to-one, giving your child plenty of speaking time, personal support and activities suited to their needs.

Beginners are welcome: Children can start with little or no English, while those who already know some English can build their speaking, vocabulary and confidence.

Support when needed: Younger or nervous children may benefit from having a parent nearby at first. As confidence grows, they can usually participate more independently.

Progress is monitored: Lessons build gradually on previous learning, while teachers monitor confidence, participation and developing English skills. Parents can receive feedback on progress and areas to practice.

A gentle, encouraging approach: There is no pressure to speak before your child feels ready. Games, visuals and familiar routines help children relax, participate and build confidence.

Flexible scheduling: Tell us your preferred days and times, and we’ll help you find an available lesson slot that works for your family and local time zone.

Regular weekly times: Where availability allows, your child can keep the same lesson time each week to create a consistent learning routine.

Easy rescheduling: Contact us as early as possible if you need to change a lesson. Our cancellation and rescheduling terms will be clearly explained before you begin a paid lesson package.

A relaxed first meeting: Your child meets the teacher in a friendly one-to-one session so we can understand their current English level, confidence and learning needs.

Learning through movement and context: Teachers help children understand English through movement. They listen, watch, copy actions, and gradually begin using the language themselves.

No obligation: The free lesson gives you and your child a chance to see whether SureThing Kids is the right fit before deciding whether to continue.

A clear next step: We’ll recommend a suitable starting point and discuss available lesson times and learning options. You can then choose individual lessons or one of our lesson packages.

Your child’s privacy matters: We only use the information you provide to manage enquiries, lessons and communication with you. Personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
