UpSkillMe Teens
A club for teenagers who love speaking English

We meet biweekly to read books and tell stories
Welcome to our club!

This is a community for young people (12-18 y.o) who love good books and stories in English.

Join and find friends from different parts of the world!

All meetings are free of charge.
We accept donations.

Required English skills: all levels are welcome (except absolute beginners).

At every meeting we do something fun. We swap books, read our favorite poems, chapters, and pages out loud, practice understanding human character, tell stories, and learn to express our thoughts with clarity and empathy.
Feel free to bring your favorite books to our meetings!


If you're bilingual and would like to help others practice Russian, Spanish or other languages that you speak, you can join meetings where we speak other languages too.
I'm Natalia and I'm thrilled to meet you!

The idea is simple: instead of English lessons, we organize CLUB Meetings where teenagers learn from and with each other. Our meetings create the right environment for members to think out loud and communicate their feelings in English. Every meeting is designed to help young people internalize the important meta skills and metacognitive strategies, such as planning their work, being attentive, showing empathy, giving and receiving feedback, self-evaluating their effort, working on a team, and a lot more.

We read the books that CLUB members choose.
If you love reading, we look forward to your suggestions!

The Rules of the Club
In order to participate, you must follow the rules
  • Rule #1
    We speak English during our meetings.
    As we improve our own speaking skills, we also help other members to speak better.
  • Rule #2
    We make decisions collectively here. Everyone can contribute with their ideas, feedback, and actions. Everyone matters.
  • Rule #3
    If someone doesn't understand what's being said in English, we do our best to explain to them in English again. We take care of one another.
  • Rule #4
    Members have responsibilities. If it's your turn to bring the book or tell a story, please come prepared!
  • Rule #5
    If you bring a friend, please fill them in about the rules of our club and help them feel at home here! You are their leader when they first join.
  • Rule #6
    We actively participate in meetings. We read out loud to practice delivering meaningful ideas. We tell stories. We give feedback to one another. We explain things. We discuss our favorite books and difficult characters. Please be ready to turn your mic and camera on to join the conversations!
