Callan Method is one of the most effective methods of learning English. It is specially effective on the early stages of the learning process.

St. Nicholas College of London teaches English to its students using the Callan Method. After 2 or 3 months of every-day lessons students, using callan method, have basic commands of spoken and written English and can easily understand the most of the language.

The method is widely used in many countries to teach English to non-native speakers. The aim of the method is to get students actively involved in the learning process by asking a range of questions that students should give an answer to. Students grasp the knowledge of grammar and build their vocabulary step by step and do not get distracted by too many complexities. The practice has shown that as a result of such an effective method students make progress up to four times faster. The method is unique for being not only effective, but enjoyable as well. Students enjoy the classes as they are not bored and actively participate during the class.
