About English Every Step
Supporting bilingual families to raise confident English speakers
English Every Step was created to help parents support their children’s English development at home in a simple, practical, and realistic way.
Raising a bilingual child is a rewarding experience, but it can also feel overwhelming. Many parents want their children to speak, understand, read, and enjoy English, but struggle with limited time, confidence, or access to the right resources.
This is where English Every Step comes in.
Why I created this space
As someone with over 15 years of experience in educational settings, including international schools and EAL (English as an Additional Language) teaching institutions, I have worked with children from a wide range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
Across all of these experiences, one thing has remained consistent: parents play a crucial role in a child’s language development, but they are often left without clear, practical guidance.
I also understand this personally, as someone living in a multilingual environment and navigating the realities of supporting a child’s language learning outside of a majority-English setting.
You might find yourself wondering:
- Is my child getting enough English exposure?
- How can I support English at home without pressure or stress?
- How do I help with reading, vocabulary, or speaking confidence?
- How do we balance English with our home language?
These are common challenges — and you are not alone in them.
English Every Step was created to bring clarity, structure, and confidence to this journey.

My approach
English Every Step is built on a simple belief:

You do not need to have prfects English, to be a teacher, and to have hours of time every day.
Small, consistent steps make the biggest difference.

A little about me
I’m Faye, a mum to a bilingual daughter, and I work as a teacher abroad. Over the past 15+ years in international schools and EAL teaching environments, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children from many different linguistic backgrounds and seeing first-hand how children truly learn languages in real life.
One thing has always stood out to me: when parents feel supported and confident, children make incredible progress.
English Every Step was created from both my professional experience and my personal journey of raising a child in a multilingual world. It brings these two perspectives together into something practical, realistic, and genuinely supportive for families.
My goal is simple — to help you feel more confident supporting your child’s English at home, with clear guidance, simple strategies, and resources that fit into real family life.
