About Us

 

YBM English Centers for Children (YBM ECC) was founded in 1992.  It was the first major chain of private English institutes which focused on teaching English to young learners.  YBC ECC has been fostering global leaders and dedicated itself to improving English education since its start. 

 

YBM ECC is a leader in the ESL market in Korea.  We utilize a consistent and systematic approach for students to learn English from kindergarten to middle school.  Our focus is on teaching listening, reading, writing, and speaking through an in-house curriculum designed for non-native English speakers. YBC ECC i-Learning allows students to practice and apply their learning through a mobile app. 

 

We currently have 2 native English-speaking teachers working at our academy.
