Ready To Learn is an international chain of English learning centres where students go after school to boost their English skills. We are highly specialized - we teach only English. Our learning programme is for students aged 3-18 years old. Our goal is to significantly increase every child's English skills and academic performance at school.

The Ready To Learn Curriculum is the life work of Elaine Shannon, Ready To Learn's founder & Chief Education Officer. Mrs Shannon is an internationally recognized and respected educator who has 31 years experience managing schools, teaching English and in particular, teaching phonics to children . The Ready To Learn Curriculum is research-based, proven & time-tested programme that employs best practise teaching methods, teacher demonstration, guided learning & offers 550-800 contact hours to help students achieve academic success with the English language.

The RTL TEACHING SYSTEM helps English language learners communicate information, ideas and concepts necessary for academic success. Ready To Learn is effective, affordable, and highly specialized. We get results. Our students outperform their peers in international language tests by 20-40%. Additionally, our Curriculum supports English language learning in the United Kingdom, Australia, USA, New Zealand, Hong Kong, mainland China as well as the European Common Framework for Languages (ALTE).

Our exclusive teaching system is the result of 31 years of development. Every child is evaluated to find a starting point for their learning. From there, students progress step-by-step through our learning programmne of 5 stages, 15 courses and 550 lessons. Students can enrol at any time of the year. Parents drop their children off at Ready To Learn once a week for 60 to 90 minutes at times that are convenient for them. Teachers are rigorously trained in our teaching system to provide instruction, guidance and encouragement. Continuous progress monitoring assesses performance, demonstrates improvement and reports success. Each lesson is audio-taped and sent home each week, together with the Student Lesson Worksheet. Additionally, all parents receive monthly reports based on formative assessments conducted by teachers in each lesson. Furthermore, our Academic Coordinators will meet parents to discuss student progress.

A Ready To Learn franchise enables you to own your own Ready To Learn Learning Center in your local community. The Ready To Learn system enables you to leverage a highly regarded curriculum & teaching system without having to spend millions developing your own. Additionally, our system allows a teacher to provide instruction to several students in one lesson. This decreases the cost per teaching hour and increases the margin of profitability. Parents also benefit. Ready To Learn costs less than many private tutors.
