About Ovation English

A Place Where English Comes into Play.

 

Ovation English is not another English language school down the street; it’s a place where English becomes more than a language; it becomes an experience. Founded by Justin McLaughlin, a performer-turned-educator who overcame learning challenges through the performing arts, Ovation English was built on the belief that language is best learned when it’s felt, moved through, and spoken with soul. In this school, classrooms turn into stages, and lessons pulse with rhythm. Students don’t just learn English; they rehearse it, perform it, own it.

 

Through drama, music, and the power of storytelling, we help students find their voices and speak with astounding clarity and confidence. Tongue-twisters tune the tongue, monologues train the mind, public speaking and rhythm exercises fuel self-expression. English learning isn’t reduced to the practice of memorization, but powered by imagination, articulation, and an organic language learning approach that grows with the learner.

 

At Ovation English, every class, every lesson, and every exercise is designed to help you own your words and trust your voice, as echoed in the words of Justin McLaughlin,

 

“When you believe in your voice, the world will too.”

Our Vision

We envisage a world where no immigrant, non-native speaker, or anyone ever has their inability to use the English language as a barrier to their success.

Our Mission

As word-weavers, raconteurs, and born performers, we resolve to train every learner to master the language and take a well-deserved standing ovation on every stage—be it career, community, or creativity.

Our Message

To all learners: your journey into the world of English requires more than just studying words; it invites you to explore everything there is to know under the sun and, ultimately, find the voice you need to tell your story.
At Ovation English, we guide you along the way through the performing arts. No matter where you come from or where you’re headed, we strongly believe you have the power to shine on every stage of life. Let’s unleash your untapped potential together, and make your English truly your own — and the world your oyster.

Wishing you all the success at every turn,
