Empowering Multilingual Kids to Read, Thrive, and Love English
At Next Level English, we believe that every bilingual and multilingual child deserves a literacy programme tailored to their unique needs. Unlike traditional ESL methods, we focus on helping children develop strong reading, writing, and communication skills in English while embracing their multilingual identity.
Our mission is simple: To make learning English a joyful, enriching experience for children growing up with multiple languages.
Whether your child is just starting their reading journey or needs extra support, we provide expert-led, structured, and engaging literacy programmes that help them build confidence and thrive in English.
Our Story: Why We Created Next Level English
A Personal Journey That Became a Mission
My name is Ricky Magee, and I founded Next Level English because I’ve lived the challenges of raising bilingual children first-hand. As an experienced English educator and a parent of multilingual children, I saw how traditional methods were failing bilingual kids—especially when it came to reading and writing in English.
My own son spoke English fluently but struggled with literacy. Despite being surrounded by the language, he found reading and writing difficult—a challenge many bilingual children face when their school education is in another language.
It became clear that the support bilingual children receive in school wasn’t enough to help them master literacy in English. They needed a different approach—one that was interactive, phonics-based, and emotionally engaging.
That’s when Next Level English was born—a structured yet fun programme designed specifically to help bilingual and multilingual children thrive in English literacy.
Today, we’ve supported countless families across different countries, helping children gain confidence, fluency, and a true love for English literacy.
Why I Created Next Level English
A dad, a leader and a facilitator. Originally from Portstewart, Northern Ireland, I've been working in youth education and technology for nearly 20 years. My experience spans across teaching English language (online and offline) in the UK, the Middle East and in Spain. I've led 20+ youth expeditions to the developing world, managed large English summer camps in the UK and lastly, worked in IT consultancy. Now my number one greatest challenge to date is getting my boys to read and write confidently in English!
​
My ethos in education has always been to facilitate learning by giving young people the tools they need to teach themselves, growing in confidence, learning more deeply and taking ownership of that process.
​
My passion for the English language and my journey as an educator and father has been the driving force behind launching my own platform which facilitates the best possible experience for the child and the parent. My goal is to deliver educational value through fun, intuitive and engaging tools that will help the children maintain their heritage language and thrive in their proficiency wherever they are in the world.
