AIRIM ELCEnglish Language Center

Open since 1 September 2026

English classes in Koksayek and online.

Taught by people who teachstudyimprove every day.

Small groups and one to one, in our room or on your screen. Same teacher, same syllabus, either way.

A lesson Airim taught, before the Shymkent centre existed
  1. Learn

    Grammar arrives inside the talking, not before it. You get the rule at the moment you need it.

  2. Practice

    Up to eight to a group, working in pairs, so every student speaks in every lesson. Above eight, someone always goes quiet.

  3. Succeed

    Your future starts here. The words on our wall, and the only measure we care about.

Founder and teacher

Airim founded the center, and still teaches in it.

I started teaching because the lessons I sat through as a student were about textbooks, not about talking. Ten minutes of speaking in an hour is not a language class.

So we built the opposite. Small groups, every student speaking every lesson, and a teacher who knows what each of them is working towards.

Airim

Airim founded the center and teaches beginner and intermediate English and IELTS preparation, in the classroom and online. Emanuel also teaches IELTS preparation, online.

    The room itself

    Come and see it before you decide.

    A small room in Koksayek with a whiteboard, tables and seats for eight. We would rather you saw it now than were surprised by it later. Book a trial and sit in on a real lesson.

    Tolebi 369, Koksayek, near Qazaq Batyry

    One center, two rooms.

    Come to the classroom in Koksayek or join from your kitchen table. The teacher, the syllabus and the price are the same either way.

    In our classroom

    A small room, a whiteboard and a teacher who can see when a student has stopped following.

    • Groups of five to eight, so everyone speaks in every lesson
    • Materials printed and waiting on the table
    • Parents can sit in on the first lesson

    Online, wherever you are

    The same lesson on a screen, in a group small enough that the teacher still hears every student.

    • A shared board you can both write on
    • Works on a laptop, a tablet or a phone
    • Timetables that fit Shymkent, Seoul and Shanghai

    For parents

    A course built around your child, not around a textbook.

    We ask what your child likes before we plan anything, then build the term around it. Dinosaurs, football, space, K-pop: the grammar is the same, the reason to care is not.

    1. A short placement chat

      Fifteen minutes with your child and a few questions for you. We find the level and the interests.

    2. A twelve week plan

      Stories, worksheets and songs chosen around those interests, with a clear goal for each month.

    3. A teacher who teaches it

      The same teacher every week, who edits the plan when your child races ahead or gets stuck.

    What a month with us includes.

    The same in every course, whether you join online or sit in the Koksayek classroom.

    • All materials, printed for the room or sent as files
    • A written progress report every month
    • A makeup lesson when you tell us in advance
    • A certificate at the end of each level
    • The free weekly speaking club, open to every student
