Graduates & job-seekers
You have good English and you're looking for skilled, respectable work — or a flexible income alongside other plans. Training is a real career, and it starts with knowing how to run a class.
Train the Trainers · One Saturday a Month · Punjagutta, Hyderabad
Speaking English well doesn't make you a trainer. In one Saturday, learn how.
- One full day — six hours, the second Saturday of every month, at our Punjagutta centre
- Learn the actual Russell's method — built and refined teaching English since 1986
- Hands-on practice — you teach, you're corrected, you teach again
- Guided by our most senior trainers — not a slideshow and a certificate
- Take home the materials and the framework to start training
The honest truth about training
Knowing a language and being able to teach it are two different skills.
Plenty of people speak excellent English. Far fewer can stand in front of a room and actually make someone else better at it — diagnose why a learner has plateaued, draw a sentence out of a student who's too nervous to speak, correct a mistake without crushing the confidence it took to make it, and structure six weeks of classes so that people genuinely improve rather than just feel busy.
That is a craft, and it is learnable — but not from a PDF or a weekend certificate that never once puts you in front of a real learner. You learn it the way every good trainer learned it: by watching someone who's done it for years, then teaching yourself, on your feet, and being corrected by someone who knows exactly what to look for.
Who it's for
If you can already speak the language, this teaches you to teach it.
ii.
Teachers wanting a method
You already teach — at a school, a college, or privately — but you've never been handed a structured, repeatable way to teach spoken English and communication. This gives you one.
iii.
Corporate & L&D professionals
You run or want to run communication-skills sessions inside a company. Learn how to design and deliver them so participants actually change how they speak, not just sit through a workshop.
iv.
Freelancers & career-changers
You want to run your own classes — online or in person — and build something of your own. Walk away with a method and the materials to start, rather than reinventing it from scratch.
Why this programme
Three ways people learn to train. Only one puts you in front of real teaching.
Option A
Figure it out yourself
- Free — you just start, and learn by trial and error
- Your first students pay the price for every mistake you make
- No framework, so you improvise differently every class
- You plateau fast, because no one ever tells you what you're doing wrong
Option B
A generic online certificate
- Watch some videos, answer a quiz, receive a PDF certificate
- You never actually teach a single person during the course
- No one watches you teach, so no one corrects how you teach
- It looks like a credential, but it hasn't made you a trainer
Russell's
Method, practice & senior mentors
- Learn a working method — the one we've taught with since 1986
- You teach in the room, on your feet, to a live group
- Senior trainers correct your delivery on the spot, in detail
- You leave with the framework and materials to start straight away
How it works
From a phone call to your first class.
i.
Call us
A short conversation about your background, your English, and what you want from training. No commitment — and we'll tell you the next available date and the fee.
ii.
Reserve your seat
Seats are deliberately limited so the practice stays genuinely hands-on. We hold your place for the next session — the second Saturday of the month.
iii.
Spend the Saturday
Six hours at our Punjagutta centre: the method, a master class to watch, and your own guided teaching practice with feedback from senior trainers.
iv.
Start training
Leave with the materials and the framework to run your own classes — and a standing line back to us as you find your feet.
Inside the six hours
A working day, not a lecture.
The day runs from morning to evening at our Punjagutta centre on the second Saturday of the month. It is built around doing — you'll spend more of it teaching and being coached than sitting and listening.

Why learn it from Russell's
Forty years of doing exactly this — taught by people who still teach.
i.
We've done it since 1986.
Russell's has been teaching English communication to Indians for nearly four decades. The method you'll learn isn't a theory someone wrote down — it's the one we use every single day.
ii.
Proven at scale.
Over a crore students across Russell's history, and thousands of corporates trained. You're not learning to train from someone's side project — you're learning from an institution that teaches for a living.
iii.
Taught by working trainers.
Your mentors for the day are our most senior trainers — people still in the classroom, not retired theorists. They'll show you what works because they did it last week, and will again next week.
iv.
A real, repeatable method.
You leave with something you can actually use on Monday: a structured way to plan, run and correct a spoken-English class — refined over a million conversations, handed to you to make your own.
Before you call
The questions, answered.
When and where is it held?
On the second Saturday of every month, for six hours, at our centre in Punjagutta, Hyderabad. It's one full day in person — there's no online version, because the whole point is teaching live, in a room, with people to practise on. Call the helpline for the next date and the exact building.
Do I need prior teaching experience?
No. The programme is built for people starting out as much as for those already teaching. What you do need is a comfortable, working command of spoken English — this day develops your ability to teach, not your own English. If you're unsure whether your level is right, just tell us when you call and we'll be honest with you.
How good does my own English need to be?
Good enough to hold a confident conversation and explain things clearly. You don't need to be flawless — you need to be fluent enough that the day can focus on teaching skills rather than your own language. If you can follow this page comfortably, you're almost certainly in range.
What will I walk away with?
Three things: the Russell's method for teaching spoken English and communication; the materials and lesson templates to run your own classes; and the experience of having actually taught and been corrected, which is the part you can't get from a book. You'll also know how to stay in touch with us as you start out.
Is there a certificate?
Yes — participants receive a certificate of participation from Russell's. But be clear about what matters: the certificate is the lighter part. The method, the materials and the live practice are what actually make you able to train.
What does it cost?
The fee is for the full six-hour day, including the materials you take home. Because seats are limited and the day is hands-on, we'd rather tell you the fee directly and confirm your place on the next date — call the helpline and we'll give you the figure and book you in.
How many people are in each session?
A small group, on purpose. The day only works if everyone gets to teach and be coached individually, so seats are capped and sessions fill up. That's why we ask you to call and reserve rather than just turn up.
Will this help me get training work or start my own classes?
It gives you the two things that hold most people back: a method that works and the confidence of having taught in front of others. What you build from there is up to you — whether that's private classes, online coaching, corporate sessions or a role at an institute. We can't promise placement, but we can make sure you walk in prepared.
