Our Courses

Our curriculum was created with the goal of getting students to forget they are learning English by studying topics
they are actually interested in. We offer six levels of speaking-focused English, a writing course, and
interactive personal projects.

I like Nao Now as qualified mentors are delivering classes with so many different topics. My son was afraid of speaking in front of native speakers before, but after he met his mentor at Nao Now, he feels confident having conversations with any native speaker.

I chose Nao Now because I felt that the teachers were paying attention to the children with interest and loving them a lot. When it's time for Nao Now, my children go to class so happily.

I initially liked how natural the interaction between the teacher and the child was, and how the teacher paid attention and listened. I think the best part is that the child can talk about what they want to say.

Nao Now’s Founders

Nao Now Co-Founders Rachel and Gale Mullen are a mother-daughter duo from Yale and Penn. Rachel graduated from Yale as President of her class and dropped out of medical school for Nao Now. Gale was an attorney for over 20 years and has six children. Rachel and Gale founded Nao Now with the goal of solving the number one language learning problem: that despite all the time, instruction, cost and effort, students still cannot speak the language.  We solved this problem through a carefully created curriculum that gets students to actually speak.
