About The English
Life Academy

Who we are

The English Life Academy was founded by Benjamin, the co-creator of @englishlifewithbenjamin, and Camila, a dedicated English learner.

Together, they created an all-in-one English learning platform designed to help students not just learn English but truly thrive in it.

Benjamin, a highly experienced and passionate English teacher, brings his extensive knowledge of British English, teaching techniques and a unique ability to make learning engaging and effective. Camila's journey as an English learner gives her a deep understanding of the challenges students face - whether it is building confidence, mastering fluency or navigating the complexities of the language.

Together, they have built a space where English learners can
achieve their language goals with confidence.
