The Improving Co.

Content I wrote for The Improving Co.’s About page.

At The Improving Co., we teach and delight.

Our mission is to create engaging didactic activities to make learning English as a foreign language more fun. It is an inescapable fact that students learn better and faster when they feel inspired and curious about a topic.

For 8 years now we have been inspiring young learners to explore their innate creativity and fostering their special capacity to absorb new information when enjoying themselves. 

The primary objective at The Improving Co. is to develop and fortify our students’ self-esteem when learning a new language. By employing artistic resources that run the gamut from theatre, music, magic, and comedy, to games, audiobooks, and E-magazines, at The Improving Co., we don’t only teach, we show young learners that acquiring a new language is an adventure to be celebrated.

Our ongoing commitment to researching new methods for learning and development integrates a combination of artistic and therapeutic techniques. With a staff comprised of experts from the performing arts, music, philosophy, psychology, the fine arts, and design, we employ a plethora of approaches to reach out and connect with students of age groups ranging from preschool to high school.

We are proud to be able to collaborate with educational organisms and programs such as B.E.D.A,  F.A.C.E.P.M, Macmillan, 40 café, Tree House, La Tienda del profesor and Fundación SGAE.
