About Bumble English
Our History
BumbleB English is named after the bumblebee, a cute little insect that collects nectar and pollen in small groups. The school’s name is pronounced the same: “Bumble Bee.”
BumbleB English started in late 2011, when our school’s teacher, James, began teaching English to his daughter when she was in kindergarten.
A few months later, a small class was created on Sunday mornings that included other kindergarten students. The first few weeks focused on playing in English, singing the alphabet, and simple greetings.
After a while, word-of-mouth spread to other families and within the neighborhood. Soon, the number of students and lessons gradually increased.
Currently, we teach students from elementary school age students and above. Our group lessons range from two students to five students. We also have private lessons for students who want to focus on a specific goal, such as language tests, school interviews, or studying abroad.
In addition to lessons for children, we offer business and conversational English lessons for adults. We have also helped students as they prepare for MBA programs and graduate school.
As we expand the number of lessons and educational services, we will continue to provide a personalized learning experience at reasonable prices.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
