This week's breakthrough

Mia self-corrected "goed" to "went" this week.

She did it twice, without being asked. Teacher Kate flagged it after Tuesday's lesson — the same verb she mis-used in Week 5. Something is clicking into place.

Common questions
Mia's vocabulary dipped in weeks 4–5. Should I worry?

No. Weeks 4–5 are the expected intermediate plateau — comprehension races ahead of output. Every child on platform goes through it. Most come out with a burst of fluency. If no breakthrough by week 6, we check in automatically.

Why only Kate? Can she swap if unavailable?

Continuity is our strongest teaching principle. Kate has been with Mia since W1. If she's ill, we match with Sarah (UK) — pre-approved since W4, same accent region, same method. You'll see the swap in advance.

Can I see what Mia will learn next?

Yes — open Progress → CEFR ladder. Each step is a Cambridge-aligned unit. Teachers adjust pace and topic weekly based on what Kate observes — nothing is locked.

How do I pause or cancel?

One tap below. Pause keeps Kate on your child's roster for up to 8 weeks. Cancel is one click, no retention call, no email. We'd rather you come back later than feel trapped now.
