Build the week they won't forget.

We run English camps, project weeks and class trips for schools and families across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Every one of them is carried by the people in the room.

A LevelUp week is a week of English lived out loud: students build, perform, pitch, argue and laugh their way through five days, and the trainer is the one who holds that together. Trainers come to us from Canada, the USA, Ireland, the UK and beyond; the office team runs it all from Berlin — and everyone goes through in-house training before their first week.
