Start Smart English: Helping Kids Speak English with Confidence.

Start Smart English, based in Postojna, Slovenia, is led by a native English teacher with extensive experience teaching English to both children and adults in Slovenia. The curriculum and materials are specifically designed for our courses.

At Start Smart English, we teach in English—always! No Slovenian, no shortcuts—just full immersion, so your child learns naturally and builds a richer vocabulary.

The focus is on improving speaking and listening skills. Through fun and stress-free activities, students learn to speak in complete, grammatically correct sentences naturally and enjoyably.

Research shows that using multiple senses enhances learning. The lessons are designed to stimulate various senses, making the experience more engaging and effective.

Classes are small, with a maximum of 6-8 students, ensuring that every student actively participates and receives individual attention, all in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.
