In global teams, English is only half the story. We help you understand how people lead, decide, and disagree across cultures, so you speak with confidence and awareness.
About Us
Convo focuses on speaking fluency from pre-intermediate (A2) to advanced (C1). It works because it gives students one-to-one coaching with trained fluency coaches who use a structured and fluency-focused unified speaking course to get you talking with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
But fluency is more than just words. In today’s global workplace, Convo also helps you develop intercultural communication skills, the ability to adapt, connect, and collaborate internationally. You'll learn how professionals around the world communicate, lead, and build trust.
Our coaches provide live corrections, feedback and a written hand over, between classes. They are a 50:50 mix of native and non-native English speakers, because we need to reflect the real world of life and work.
No more textbooks and no more fill-in-____-gap exercises. Just real, structured conversation that moves your fluency forward, linguistically and culturally.

Speak English fluently
Efficient
Online, 25-minute structured fluency classes save you time, money, and stress. Whenever and wherever you want.
Flexible
Choose your coach, choose your time, choose your packet. Book a single/double/triple class, as you wish. No limits and no subscriptions.
Private
Just you and your coach, always 1-1 private classes. This means that your coach’s attention is always focused 100% on you.
Intense
High-intensity structured speaking practice to fire up your fluency. No more slow, boring, passive classes.
Structured
This isn’t free conversation practice you can find in a bar or on an application. We provide structured and focused practice with coaches who are trained in active listening, interjecting, and corrections.
Economical
You don’t need native teachers to improve your fluency. You need structured high-intensity 1-1 fluency coaching with advanced C1-C2 speakers. Our prices are 7-10 USD per class. That’s it.
We are experts in two fields:
-
Language acquisition
-
Technology backed human learning
We also understand how to balance technology with one-to-one human teaching and coaching. We know that where machine learning has its advantages, it also has severe disadvantages, especially within language learning. We get the best out of both worlds.
The team at Inkstone are excited to be launching Convo in 2025. We have spent the past 10 years working with our students to achieve their English language goals from these companies:
Mei | Student
Japan
“The coach has a great approach - she makes the class engaging and never boring (so you don’t get sleepy!). She’s kind, friendly, and creates a comfortable learning environment.”
Eduardo | Offshoring, BPO
Argentina
The coach structured the class based on my needs, which I thought was fantastic. For example, I’ve worked in English for 10 years, and I told her I wanted to focus on my pronunciation. She corrected very specific things, and I found that incredibly valuable.”
Rodrigo | Aviation
Brazil
“The platform gets a 10/10 from me – it’s fast and easy to use. I love that each student can manage their own classes, schedules, and coaches. I think that’s an absolutely brilliant idea.”
Julian | Student
Mexico
“The platform is fantastic, and I learned a lot in just five classes. Rima is an amazing coach, exactly what I was looking for. She constantly helped me with my pronunciation and made the most of every 25-minute session with great energy and professionalism.”
Lili | Consulting
Colombia
“Perfect duration, and the platform worked flawlessly.”
Sebas | Professional Services
Argentina
“My experience has been extremely positive, both with the classes and the platform. I was initially unsure about the 25-minute format, but it has exceeded my expectations.”

Six principles, one goal
We coach English fluency and clear communication culture in the workplace.
5
Apps don’t make you fluent, people do
Real fluency comes from real conversations. Our coaches guide you with expertise, feedback, and motivation. It’s faster, deeper learning - human to human.
6
Cultural fluency drives real-world communication
In 21st century work and life, English is only half the story. We help you understand how people lead, decide, and disagree across cultures, so you speak with confidence and awareness.
4
80% student talk time, every class
You already have passive knowledge. Now make it active through focused speaking practice. We aim for 80%+ student talk time in every class.
3
High-intensity 25-minute classes are the most effective way to train
After 25-minutes of intense activity your brain becomes a tomato. That’s why we use short, high-intensity sessions like interval training. More effective. More efficient.

Relay teaching is King
Train with multiple coaches from across the world. Every class has written corrections, feedback, and a formal handover for your next class.
→ This is international relay coaching.

Spoken and cultural fluency is your objective
No textbooks. No gap fill. Just structured, real-world speaking practice that builds confidence, clarity, and impact.
