Oskar lernt Englisch has been offering English language courses for children between the ages of 2 and 12 in Kitas and Schools in Berlin since. We aim to build confidence and familiarity with the English language by fusing structured English lessons with high-energy activities.
We hope to inspire and create an accessible environment for children to learn English in, combining the expert knowledge of fluent English speakers who are energetic, empathetic, and culturally diverse, with an adventure-packed environment. We don’t just want to teach English, but also make memories with new friends! :)
