About Us
Our History
One-Stop Educational Centre was established in 2005 and was renamed as English Drama and Speech Academy in 2009. Our mission is to provide our students opportunities to know English literature and from that they speak natural English with Received Pronunciation (RP - accent of standard English).
Our Belief
We know that we have the responsibility to inspire our students to explore the beauty and usage of the English language art. We believe that every single one of our students will and can do their best whatever we plant into their minds and hearts. Our students speak natural English fluently in front of the audience. Parents like to send their children to us because they know we are working together with them to nurture their children.
Overall characteristics of our courses
In our school, we teach English literature and public speaking, including drama, poems, musicals and monologues. In order to guide students to speak proper natural English, we ask the parents to provide an English language environment for their own children every day i.e. to let their children listen to natural spoken English downloaded from our website. Speaking in front of an audience in 'slow time' is compulsory in every lesson. Parents are invited to join in the performance, so they will know the learning progress of their children and the achievements of their children.
Our Teaching Team
We believe that love can really help an individual to build self-confidence and self-respect.
We believe that education can bring an individual to a higher rung of his or her life and eventually fulfil self actualisation.
Based on love and care, Georgina Fettes and her teaching team provide top quality education in spoken English to students in her school. We teach poems and musicals effectively. We invite parents to work together with us to nurture their kids to be fluent English speakers. Parents like to send their children to our school because we have a stable teaching team. Some of our teachers have been with us for over 10 years.
Achievements of our Students
We believe that every child is unique and born with certain talents. Some children perform better because they have proper training in specific areas.
Our students perform well in both poetry, plays and musicals. Recently, one of our students was accepted by a famous university of drama in UK. We have another student who won a public speaking contest and was sponsored to go to UK to compete with international students.
In Hong Kong, our students can easily join any drama groups in their own primary and secondary schools.
We are proud of the students’ performances in the top Hong Kong speech competition because they usually get into the top three out of 60 competitors. We encourage our students to join the competition in order to gain experience and build self-confidence when they are as young as five years old. In 2016, we got 36 champions, 22 first runners-up and 26 second runners-up in the competition.
