The facilitator
Casey is a writer, educator, and facilitator, and the founder of The Way Back.

How the Conversation Club Works
Explore a new topic together
Each session, Casey brings a topic for the group to explore together. Through questions, ideas and open discussion, you’ll have the chance to share your perspective, hear different points of view and practice speaking English in a natural way.

The focus is not on giving perfect answers, but on taking part in the conversation, expressing yourself more freely and becoming more comfortable speaking English.
A space to practise, think and connect
The club is designed as a relaxed and supportive space for regular conversation practice. You can build confidence, expand the way you express ideas in English and connect with others through thoughtful discussion.
Practical Information
The club is designed for adults aged 18+ with an intermediate level of English (B1+) or above.

Each session lasts 80 minutes, and the group is limited to 8 participants.

* The 4-session pass is valid for five weeks. If you need to miss a session, you can make up one missed class on another club date, provided you let us know at least 24 hours in advance.
