At Invently Academy, English tutoring is direct, one-on-one teaching from Brian Carlson, a certified teacher (Illinois and Texas) with a master's degree in education. We welcome families in China, Central America, and South America, and learners everywhere: conversation practice, reading, writing help, and support for school English — at every age, and at every starting point.

Who English tutoring is for

Children

Young learners build English the natural way — listening, speaking, reading, and playing with the language — with a patient elementary teacher who makes every lesson feel safe and fun.

Teens

School English support, stronger essays, and real conversation confidence — help with the English your teen actually meets in class, in homework, and in exams.

Adults

English for work, travel, and everyday life — conversation that builds real confidence, and writing help for the emails, applications, and documents that matter to you.

What we work on

How it works, step by step

1

Step 1 — A free consultation.

We talk — about the learner, their English today, and what you want it to do for them. A conversation, not a test. We find a lesson time that works across our time zones.

2

Step 2 — A personal plan.

Brian builds a plan for this one learner: where to start, what to practice first, and how we will see progress.

3

Step 3 — Live, one-on-one lessons online.

Every lesson is live with Brian by video call — real teaching, real conversation, at the learner's pace. The same teacher, every time.

4

Step 4 — Practice between lessons.

Short, clear practice between lessons keeps the English growing — and you hear how it is going, in plain language, from the teacher doing the teaching.

Questions families ask about English tutoring

Do you teach adults, or only children?

Both. Children, teens, and adults all learn with Brian one-on-one — the plan is built for the learner's age, goals, and starting point.

We are just starting English. Is that okay?

Yes — starting from the very beginning is welcome. The free consultation is a friendly conversation, and the first lessons begin exactly where the learner is.

Where do lessons happen?

Online, by video call, one-on-one. You need a computer or tablet and an internet connection — that's all. We schedule lessons at times that work for your family's time zone.

Can you help with school English and writing?

Yes. School English support and writing help are a big part of this tutoring: homework, reading for class, essays, and the writing your child or teen brings from school — plus writing help for adults, from emails to applications.

How much does it cost?

$50 per hour, one-on-one — the same open pricing as all Invently tutoring. The first consultation is free, and there is no contract to sign before you decide.

Let's talk about your English goals.
