Compared with the training institutions with a strong group background, the small English speaking training institutions take the small but refined route, although there are not many branch centers, but because of their diversified courses and flexible class system, they are also favored by a large number of English learners.
Founded in 2011, WOWO English focuses on oral language teaching for adults, and has won the titles of "Top 10 Foreign Language Training Brands in Shanghai" and "Featured Foreign Language Institution of the Year". There are two campuses in Shanghai, located in Jing'an and Xujiahui. Such English training institutions are more through the introduction of students to each other, and compared with large institutions, there is a lot less sales atmosphere.
WOWO English continues the traditional oral teaching mode, mainly offline teaching, while the online method is carried out through the knowledge push of the official account and the online interaction with the teacher. In terms of curriculum setting, WOWO English mainly offers four types of oral English, business English, comprehensive English and travel English, including daily oral English for social life, English for overseas survival and tourism, spoken English for mothers, beginners, business, etc., and different courses are aimed at people of different ages. In addition to the traditional one-to-one teaching and small class teaching methods, there are also special customized courses for couples/girlfriends, VIP English courses for partners, etc. There are various combinations, and the learning time is not like one or two years in a large institution. Therefore, there is a demand for English assault, such as traveling abroad, visiting relatives abroad, etc., and WOWO English courses are more targeted.
WOWO English also ensures the quality of teaching in terms of teachers, and there are many foreign teachers who have TESOL qualifications and have more than 5 years of teaching experience. Most of the Chinese teachers have overseas study experience, and hold English teacher qualification certificates, English major certificate 8, etc. Teachers here will tailor a personalized lesson plan according to the student's English level and recommend suitable courses. And the learning period is not too long, generally about 3-4 months.
The center of Jing'an Temple is in a residential area, and the classrooms are warmly arranged, although they cannot be compared with EF's configuration, but the comfortable classroom environment, simple and bright decoration can also have a good learning environment. And the faculty and staff of the institution are more like friends than salespeople who are trying to sell a single course.
It is worth mentioning that since 2018, WOWO English has reached a long-term strategic cooperation with Maiwei English, another English training institution in Shanghai, to use the advantages of the two institutions to integrate resources. This is also the direction that small English training institutions are exploring in the process of development, forming a situation of complementary advantages.
