  • Nevy's Language is a platform for live, online group English classes for adult immigrants in Canada and the USA.  

  • We provide affordable learning for adult immigrants to North America by providing low cost, live classes. 

  • We are a night school for students in Canada and the USA.


Our Students: 

  • Our students are 25-45 year old adults immigrants. 

  • They are based in Canada and the USA.

  • 75% of our students are at Level 2 or below, i.e. beginners!

Our Levels:

  • We offer five levels: Starter, Beginner, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate

  • Each level is 16 weeks long. 

  • We provide you with the teaching materials and teacher guides See the curriculum outline here.

  • 75% of our groups are Starter and Beginner levels.


Our Classes (Groups):

  • We run group English classes.  

  • Each group is taught by one teacher and has up to 6-10 students.

  • We have five levels of English and offer several times of the day for each level. Each group has a time and a level associated with it. 

  • For example, we have an 8am Starter, 9am Starter, 10am Starter, etc.

  • Most of our classes run at night and in the Eastern (New York) time zone.

  • A group meets every day from Monday to Friday at the same time. 

  • That's 5 hours of learning each week.


How we pay:  

  • We pride ourselves in being an affordable learning option for students, so students pay CAD $3, $4 and $5/hour for classes. Teachers are paid CAD $7.5-20/hour depending on experience.

  • Pay is per group and monthly. You can make between CAD 150 to 400 per month per group depending on your experience. This is equivalent to CAD $7.5 - $20/hr.

  • You don't have to start at the lowest pay. Pay is negotiated before you start.

  • You get paid on the 1st of every month for the previous month's work. We offer direct deposit!  

  • You can take on as many groups as you wish. We have an internal board where we post available groups. Some teachers teach 2 groups only while others do 12 groups a day!


Minimum commitment to teach:

  • The minimum commitment to teach with us is 4 months. 

  • This means that if you assign yourself to a group, you have to stay with them for 4 months. If you leave before the 4 months are over, there will be a deduction of pay. This is to deter teachers from selecting groups that they are not ready to teach.

  • Abandoning a group within the 1st week will result in the forfeiture of payment for that group.  

  • Please note that we have a very strict absence policy and teachers are held to a code of conduct. Only 1 absence per calendar month is permitted.
