Alex: Building Confidence Through Conversation
Real Insights From Native English Teachers for Unlimited English in Costa Rica
¨I’m from New York City and I have experience teaching English to learners of different levels, focusing on practical communication, grammar, and real-life conversation skills.
Unlimited English is different because it focuses on personalized, student-centered lessons tailored to each learner’s goals. It also creates a relaxed, engaging environment where teachers can be creative and emphasize real-life communication. Teachers can focus on practical communication rather than rigid, one-size-fits-all instruction.
I enjoy teaching these classes because I can help students build confidence in real-life communication while making lessons engaging and relevant to their goals. It’s rewarding to see their progress and create a positive, supportive learning environment.
I think the program is effective because it combines personalized lessons with practical, real-life communication. The supportive environment and consistent practice help students build confidence and see steady progress.
One student started with very basic English and lacked confidence speaking. Over time, through consistent practice and personalized lessons focused on real-life situations, she became much more comfortable expressing ideas and holding conversations. She started at an A1 (beginner) level, using very simple words and struggling to form complete sentences. Now she is around a B1 level, able to hold conversations, express opinions, and speak with much more confidence.
She improved in several ways: her vocabulary expanded, her grammar became more accurate, and her pronunciation became clearer. She also developed better listening skills, responded more naturally in conversations, and became much more confident speaking without hesitation.
What helped her succeed was consistent practice, personalized lessons focused on real-life situations, and a supportive environment that encouraged her to speak without fear of making mistakes.¨
Alex has been teaching with Unlimited English for the past six months and has quickly built strong connections with several students he works with regularly. His ability to speak conversational Spanish allows him to support learners when needed, while still maintaining an immersive English-speaking environment. Alex focuses on helping students feel comfortable in real conversations, and his approach has led to noticeable progress and success among those he teaches. His patience and adaptability make him a valuable part of the team.

Edwin: Experience and Consistent Results

¨Hi! My name is EJ Calderon and I’m 33 years old. I have a bachelors degree from Salem Sate University and I’m from Boston, Massachusetts.
Unlimited English is an amazing platform and place to learn and practice English. The online flexibility gives students a comfortable way to explore the English language from home! Also, the scheduling is totally based on the students availability. Lessons are practical and engaging, mostly focused on the students needs, goals and personal learning style.
I enjoy teaching classes with UE because they are effective. Each class is an opportunity to help students grow, little by little, in the English practice. Also, with a little bit of guidance, as a tutor and teacher I have the space to explore different styles.
This program is effective because it harnesses student ideas and feelings. Their opinion matters and is the cornerstone of how we decide to teach our classes.
I´ve seen so many students improve in their ESL learning! The one that comes to mind is Cesar. His dedication and hard work are an example that if you put your mind to classes with UE you will improve! He started at around an A2 level and now is in full swing with B1 exercises. From his conversational growth, to reading and writing, he has gotten better and better the more we study together!¨
With over two years of experience at Unlimited English, Edwin has helped a wide range of students improve their English skills. He speaks conversational Spanish, which allows him to better understand common challenges and guide students effectively.

George: Passion and Proven Success

¨My name is George Gathern, I am originally from Sussex in the United Kingdom, and I have experience working with students of all ages both online and in person.
Unlimited English is different from the other teaching environments I have worked in because it provides the opportunity to make the classes a lot more personal and to focus on the student’s specific needs. It also provides a lot of flexibility to both the students and teachers, since lesson times are arranged to work for both the students and teachers.
I enjoy teaching these classes because they give me an opportunity to meet a variety of people from different backgrounds and to watch them develop both in understanding and in confidence.
I think the program is effective because we can put the emphasis on what the student really needs to learn and focus on that rather than just working through material that they already know. I also think that the focus on conversational ability means that students quickly gain confidence and can more easily apply their skills to the real world.
One student who has improved a lot is Rebeca. She has gone from being only able to form and understand basic sentences to being able to have full conversations about her day-to-day activities.
Working on understanding the grammar of English and forming more difficult sentences was an important part of her development in this way, as well as practicing answering and forming sentences.¨

Lexi: Creating a Positive Learning Experience
Real Insights From Native English Teachers for Unlimited English in Costa Rica
¨Hello everyone! My name is Lexi and I am an English teacher from the US/Canada. I am now based in Costa Rica where I spend my days surfing and undertaking my own language journey in learning Spanish.
What makes Unlimited English different as a teaching environment is the ease of which things are done within Unlimited English is what I believe makes the environment so truly unique. The flexibility to set a personalized schedule, the efficiency with which all questions/ concerns are met and the direct support provided between the director/teachers and teachers/ students all make for an stress free and welcoming environment.
The reason why I enjoy teaching these classes is that for me it’s instances such as the ‘aha’ moment when something clicks, or when a student grows significantly in confidence that make this job so rewarding! I love connecting with each student as an individual to develop a personalized plan that will help them to achieve their goals.
What I think makes the program effective is language learning. It´s a process that truly never ends. That being said, I believe any program will be as effective as the energy one puts into it. At Unlimited English we encourage consistency and routine learning with our students, both huge contributors to learning success. We focus particularly on verbal communication, curating an environment that is open and supportive to encourage intentional and comfortable practice.¨
Lexi joined Unlimited English six months ago and has already made a strong impact. She speaks conversational Spanish, which helps her connect with students and support them along the way. Her students consistently share how much they enjoy her classes, thanks to her friendly and encouraging approach. Lexi creates a positive environment where learners feel comfortable practicing and building their confidence.
