About Us

Chelsea Language Academy is a fast growing English school in Toronto, Canada. It was originally founded in 1993 in Tokyo by Robbie McMullan. Mr. McMullan is a highly experienced language teacher, writer and alumnus of Harvard University. He created a revolutionary system that quickened language learning. This system has been featured in the Yomiuri Shimbun, the world's largest newspaper. It has also appeared in Japan's leading learning magazine, Keiko to Manabu. Mr. McMullan remains as principal of the school today.

Chelsea was founded on two observations about some other language schools:

1. Their ESL students don't usually get enough real practice time, and

2. Little time is spent developing students' comfort with teachers. So, they can't overcome their fear of making mistakes.

Thus, Chelsea's main programs begin with one full week of exercises that build trust between teacher and pupil, and among classmates. This builds the foundation for more rapid learning later. Chelsea's curriculum then continues with much more practice time than other schools.
