Speak Up is a family-owned, teacher-led company founded in 2013 by educator Anna Reyes, whose passion is helping children speak English with confidence and fluency.
Anna developed the Speak Up Method—a proven approach that builds spoken English skills through complete sentences, interactive learning, and engaging games. This fun and effective method quickly made Speak Up one of the largest English schools in her country.
Driven by the desire to make high-quality spoken English instruction more accessible, Anna now focuses on equipping others to use the Speak Up Method. With the School to Go, thousands more children around the world are learning to speak English clearly, confidently, and joyfully.
The School to Go is ideal for entrepreneurs, government organizations, humanitarian organizations, NGOs, churches, synagogues, mission teams, ministries, outreach programs, orphanages, community centers, schools, and philanthropists looking to provide impactful English education.
Yes. The School to Go is an excellent solution for teams seeking to launch a sustainable, education-based business in a restricted-access country. It provides a complete, culturally adaptable program that meets real community needs while also creating a credible platform for long-term presence and impact.
It can be used successfully for either one.
You can take the School to Go to create a revenue-generating small business or you can use it as a way to provide quality education to children in the developing world at little or no cost to the student. Decide on your own rates, grow as big or as small as you want.
Our teaching method is highly effective and stands apart from traditional approaches.
We focus on teaching and practicing full sentences from the very beginning. Children are encouraged to respond in complete sentences, which builds real spoken fluency and confidence from day one.
Unlike many programs that emphasize passive listening, our lessons are designed to maximize student speaking time. Every session is built around interactive learning games and speaking activities, making learning not only effective—but genuinely fun and engaging for children.
No teaching certificate is required—most adults who enjoy working with children and speak intermediate or higher-level English can become successful instructors with our method.
Students ages 4-12.
