From first phonics sounds to Cambridge and IELTS exam mastery — one clear pathway, small classes, and an AI-powered practice studio your child can use every day between lessons.
Every student follows the same route from confident beginner to exam-ready — the pace and material change, the path doesn't.
Joel is a native English speaker and TEFL-qualified teacher with over five years' experience teaching English to students across Asia, from complete beginners aged four right through to teenagers preparing for Cambridge and IELTS exams. He built Kingfisher English's four-stage programme around what he's seen actually work with young learners: short, structured steps, plenty of speaking practice, and a clear sense of progress at every age.
Based in Indonesia, Joel teaches live online in the same time zone as his students — no early mornings or late-night calls to make lessons work.
Two tools included with every enrolment: an instant worksheet generator for parents and teachers, and Kip the Kingfisher — a supervised AI tutor for students to chat and practise with.
TEFL-qualified, 5+ years teaching English to students across Asia — not a script read by a rotating cast of tutors.
Four stages from first phonics sounds to Cambridge and IELTS exam prep, so you always know what's next.
Live online, scheduled for families across Asia — no 6am starts or midnight classes.
The AI worksheet generator and Ask Kip tutor chat are included, so students can keep practising in between sessions.
