“The B1 Workbook has been a great help to my students”

Inglés de Mar, Almería - Spain

The new B1 Workbook has been a great help to my students preparing for their official exams. They can do the work themselves at home. They remember the lessons from the Callan Method that taught them each rule. And they bring their questions to me after their regular lessons.

“Una visión nueva de cómo aprender y enseñar”

“She found a structure and technique for teaching English”

Inglés de Mar, Almería - Spain

Recently we trained a new teacher for our small academy in Andalucía. She is Spanish and bi-lingual, but had little teaching experience. Suddenly, with the Callan Method, she found a structure and technique for teaching English to her fellow Spaniards. No need to be a “native speaker” when you have the skills, the talent and the method to present English clearly, dynamically and correctly. “I have found my vocation”, she said to me last month!

Chris Hanson, School Owner

“The books are very well done”

Volis Academy, Bratislava - Slovakia

I must say that we really looked forward to Callan  Español and it came at the right time and was exactly what we needed.  Just like with the English version, the books are very well done, going from simple things and making it harder and harder as the student progresses.

Last week a student came to tell me that she had passed her Cambridge PET (B1) exam. She was so happy, and especially because the speaking exam was her highest mark!

It’s so important that the books as a cornerstone of the Callan Method are so well written.

“Callan is unique!”

Oldcastle Schools of English, SP - Brazil

We have some teachers who were students in our schools and in a short time finished the course speaking fluently, and then started giving classes.  It happened to me before opening my school.  I fell in love with the Method and I can’t see any other method with which I would like to work.
