Do you feel tongue-tied whenever you speak English with your colleagues or customers?

Are you sick of wondering whether you just said three or tree, thought or taught, version or virgin, sheet or… shit? 🙈

If that sounds like you — or your employees — you’re going to like what’s next.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to…

• Feel confident and relaxed when you open your mouth to speak in English?
• Express yourself clearly, with correct pronunciation and proper intonation?
• Give a presentation and feel completely in control, able to use just the right words and expressions?
• Communicate and truly connect with English-speakers without worrying about your accent?
• Use typical English expressions and even your sense of humor during your business meetings in English? (Yes, it’s possible!)

It would be incredible, wouldn’t it?

In short, Ellipse Sprint is THE 30 minutes a day that changes everything.

No more getting tongue-tied! No more headaches when you have to use TH, R or L in English.

So, take a big sip of water, clear your throat, and let’s go: Become a sprinter today!

Who is it for?

We created Ellipse Sprint specifically for:
Anyone who wants to gain confidence in English in the professional world.

You may be…

3. A professional, a consultant, or a determined individual

You need to use English at work. You have English-speaking colleagues or customers. You’re asked to participate in meetings and presentations in English. Getting training in English is the perfect way for you to give the best of yourself (and stop stressing out so much). No more repeating — time after time — that your English is rusty!

What kinds of exercises will we do?

• Activating vocabulary that you already know, but may sometimes have trouble accessing, so you can speak fluently in English without hunting for words.

   

• Muscle memory improvement strategies so that key words and important expressions become a “subconscious” skill (you won’t even have to think about them!).

   

• “Brain-mouth connection” exercises, to train the muscles in your mouth to obey your brain and increase the speed of your comments in English.

So, you think the program sounds interesting (after all, you’re still reading), but you’re hesitating:

1. “I don’t have time. I’m already too busy, and I’m worried that I’d never actually make it to the training sessions.”

We understand. Who isn’t busy these days?

That’s why we try to make your life easier:

• Only 30 minutes, max.
• One precise, well-planned training session per day (or two training sessions, if you want to attend both!).
• Active, stimulating practise exercises that get results quickly.
• A fun, energizing, judgment-free space that you’ll want to prioritize in your life.
• An accountability group: Training with others gets you so much more motivated.

Because yes, we know, you don’t have time. But you also don’t have time to lose contracts because of your English level, to stress out every time you have to speak in English, or to put in extra hours whenever you have to prepare for a meeting in the language of Shakespeare.

2.  “I’d rather just take an hour or two of classes a week, or I can just learn on my own.”

We’re sorry to have to tell you this, but that won’t be enough!

As we explained earlier, learning English is like training for a sport.

You have to practise and work hard every day, again and again, until your body absorbs it and it becomes natural.

Frequency and consistency are infinitely more important than length of time!

And unfortunately, in your everyday life, even if you learn lots of new words, expressions and strategies, you won’t always have the opportunity to put them to use right away.

So, when the time comes to use them, you’ve already forgotten everything because you never turned what you learned into a perfectly integrated, automatic reflex.

If you’re like most of our students, even though we do give tips and tricks for practising on your own at home, most of the time life goes way too fast and active practising goes out the window!

Between career development, making dinner, housework, mowing the lawn, the kids, spinning or yoga classes, etc., there isn’t much time left for the daily solo practice recommended by your language coach.

That’s why the most effective solution is to make it a regular appointment. And that’s exactly what Ellipse Sprint offers!

3. “I watch Netflix, I listen to podcasts and I read in English. I’ll end up getting better.”

Maybe you listen to the radio instead, or watch TV in English. Maybe you even memorize lists and watch videos about grammar. That’s not bad…

But these are all examples of PASSIVE learning. They really aren’t enough to significantly improve your mastery of a language.

What we’re offering is ACTIVE learning that will radically transform your English language skills.

It’s like learning to dance. You can’t do it just by watching someone else. Just like you can’t learn English without practising. Your entire body needs to be involved: all the muscles in your face, your expressions, your body language, your attitude and your whole vibe.

Passive learning just isn’t effective enough, and not only that, it leaves you discouraged. You realize it isn’t working, and give up.

That’s not what happens with Ellipse Sprint, we promise!

Who are the super coaches behind Ellipse?

Here’s how it will work.

1. Monday through Friday, at 7:30 a.m. and/or noon (Eastern Time – MTL), you’ll log into our student portal to access the Zoom link (you’ll also have access to a detailed monthly calendar). Can’t make it one day? Dive back in the next day!

2. An Ellipse Sprint coach will be present at every single training session, along with other sprinters like you.

3. The coaches do each exercise with you live (you will be on mute most of the time). They will sometimes ask for guinea pigs, but you don’t have to volunteer if you don’t want to.

4. Have questions? You can ask them live, in a relaxed environment. The space we provide is fun and judgment-free. And yes, you have access to an amazing coach twice a day, for a maximum of 30 minutes.

We guarantee you’ll be satisfied!

We don’t want to show off, but seriously, we doubt you’ll ask for your money back. The program is so full, motivating and transformational that you’ll be right there with us every time. One of our participants even admitted to having FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) when an emergency kept her from joining the group one morning!

That said, if you aren’t satisfied for whatever reason, we promise to reimburse you 100% within the first 10 days of the program (3, 6 or 12 months). However, we will check to make sure that you attended at least five training sessions during those 10 days. Please note that our 10-day Bootcamp is non-refundable.

FAQ

What will happen after I pay?

You will receive an email with a link to access the Ellipse student portal. Starting on your chosen date, you can go there every day to find the Zoom links for joining us.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. You asked and we listened you can pay in a single payment or multiple payments by credit card, and we offer a 10-day money-back guarantee on the 3 -6 and 12 month programs.

Can I purchase a monthly subscription?

No, we do not offer monthly subscriptions. You can try our 10-day Bootcamp, or a three-month subscription.

Will I have training sessions every day?

You’ll have training sessions on weekdays, Monday through Friday (but not over the weekend!). There are no training sessions on holidays. You will have access to a total of 502 training sessions if you choose the 12-month subscription.

If you can’t always attend, just join the group again the next day, no problem.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes, we offer a 10-day guarantee as explained above (except for our 10-day Bootcamp)

Do I absolutely have to attend every day, twice a day?

No, the frequency is up to you. For best results, we recommend attending once per day (30 minutes), but you can always decide to come just three or four times per week. You can also choose to attend twice a day, five days a week.

Will I have to speak English in front of everybody?

Most of the time your microphone will be off and you’ll practise out loud, speaking along with the coach. Only one person will hear you: You!

From time to time, the coach will ask if any sprinters want to practise and be corrected in front of the others so that everyone can learn from the feedback. But it’s always on a volunteer basis!

At certain times, you might also practise speaking with other participants. But in general, Ellipse Sprint is not a conversation group.

Which online platform will I be using?

Once you’ve subscribed, you will receive an email with the information for logging into our student portal. Every day, the new Zoom links for the morning and afternoon meetings will be accessible on the portal.

You’ll also have access to a monthly calendar that shows the coach for each training session and the subject that will be addressed (for example, pronunciation drills with Isabelle).
