WELCOME TO
EMMA ACADEMY
What makes us unique?
Emma Academy was founded with a dream
to help every world citizen speak English.
Today, everyone recognizes the importance of learning the English language. Moreover, the advent of the Internet has made learning English online a better option than doing it in a traditional classroom. The ability to speak and write English properly allows people to advance in the professional world. Being able to speak in English also widens one's horizon in communicating globally. Proof of the necessity of learning English is the proliferation of websites that offer English lessons online. Another proof is the increasing number of people who prefer this medium of learning every day.
Cliffton set out on this mission to give students access to the best English education available, and by working together with teachers from across the world, this mission will soon become a reality.
Our business model is not based on generating income but providing value and knowledge.
We believe that the English language learning should be accessible to all including the poor section of society and not sold as a luxury as all online institutes do.
This is where EMMA ACADEMY comes in. We provide our students with the cheapest prices possible for learning the English language with over 75% reduction in prices compared to other online English teaching institutes.

SAF
What is SAF?
When do I need to pay the SAF fees?
Can I avoid the SAF fees?
For students that are given to the teacher through Emma Academy, SAF fee is not applicable. However, for students given through our partner institutes, a small part of the fees to get these students is passed on to the teacher in the form of SAF and is charged to the teacher only after the student completes 4 paid lessons with the teacher.
If a student leaves after few lessons, is SAF charged?
If a student leaves after the 1st lesson, 25% of the SAF amount is charged.
Do I need to pay any advance fees?
Never. A teacher never has to pay any fees in advance. If SAF fee is applicable to a student, the SAF fee is deducted from the total earnings of the teacher and the remainder of the teacher's earnings are credited to the teacher's account in the first week of the following month.
How can I track my SAF calculations and accounts?
Emma Academy provides every teacher with an online dashboard where they can track their daily lessons, check the outstanding fees payable to them as per the lessons conducted, see the SAF sheet and calculations, discounts, earnings, etc.
Why do I need to pay SAF?
Due to increased costs of operating the sales and advertising machanism in order to stay afloat during the pandemic, Emma Academy has had to make certian strategic partnerships in order to ensure that there is a constant flow of students for our existing and new teachers and which of course, comes at a price.
How much SAF do I need to pay
Assuming a teacher wishes to take 1 lesson per day and assuming that every student takes one lesson per week, a teacher will only have 7 students in all.
