It’s not a school, and it’s not a course. Yo! is a service where you learn English by speaking English with fluent tutors—simple as that. We specialize in free-form conversation practice with online, live, one-on-one, personalized, unscripted sessions lasting 25 or 50 minutes.

You can start diving deeper into how it all works by checking out our Help Center article What is Yo! and how does it work?.

No fancy methodology, but we’ve got the simplest and most effective method ever: learn by talking and talk by learning. Why bother with theories and methodologies when all that really matters to speak English is practice? At Yo!, we believe in human connection and natural learning. No fluff or funny business here.

Because it’s about speaking, not studying! It’s 100% conversation—no tricks, no shortcuts. You either speak, or you speak. Here, you won’t memorize rules or translate sentences; you’ll learn by communicating. Plus, our sessions are personalized and designed for you to practice at your own pace, with no pressure and no obligations.

Exactly! Real conversations with tutors who teach you through practice. It’s your way, your time, and all about your choice of tutors and topics. That’s all you need to speak English with confidence and ease. Try it for yourself, and you’ll see.

Let’s break it down: you learn to cook by cooking, to swim by swimming, to surf by surfing, and to drive by driving. So, how do you learn to speak English?

See what we did there? 😉

At Yo!, you practice speaking freely about topics you care about with guidance from tutors. This way, you build confidence, fluency, and comfort in speaking the language. It’s simple: practice makes perfect, right?

At Yo!, you’ll have to speak English one way or another, so the more foundation you have, the easier it’ll be to adapt. But don’t worry—we have tutors who speak Portuguese and support materials for beginners. Starting your English journey with actual communication practice gives you a huge advantage. The more you practice, the better you’ll get.

Our tutors are fluent and proficient Brazilians and foreigners who’ve learned English as a second language. They’ll make sure your conversations are engaging and educational, guiding you and giving real-time feedback.

Yes. Yo! tutors stick to English, whether they’re from Brazil or anywhere else. If a tutor also speaks Portuguese, they’ll only switch if you ask, and even then, they’ll try other ways first to make you get it. After all, the point is to actually practice English, not to translate.

Everything runs on a ticket system, which you can purchase on our website or directly on the platform. Each ticket equals one 25-minute session, so for a 50-minute session, you’ll need two. You can subscribe to monthly tickets or buy them on demand, as many as you want. No commitments, no hassle—just relax and enjoy speaking.

At Yo!, scheduling is a breeze. You can book a session up to 15 minutes before it starts. After buying tickets, just choose a tutor and time slot that works for you, whether it’s a 25- or 50-minute session. You’ll set your preferences, like the session topic or whether swearing is okay (we keep it real!). Once booked, you’ll get all the details to access Yo! Zone (where the sessions happen).

Life happens, right? No problemo! Cancel up to 1 hour before the session, and your ticket will be returned so you can rebook at your convenience. Cool, huh?

Yes, yes, and yes! At Yo!, you're always free to book sessions with any available tutor you prefer, so long as they have available slots in their schedule. You can stick to your favorite tutor or try different tutors to experience varied styles and accents—it's totally up to you!

During the session, it’s just you and the tutor having a natural conversation. They’ll guide you, correct you, and help when needed. Afterward, you can review and track your progress anytime with the session recordings. It’s a relaxed, focused way to help you speak better and better.

We want you to talk non-stop, so the sessions are one-on-one—basically a date with your tutor (haha). This means you’ll have their full attention to focus on exactly what you need in a safe, comfortable space. It’s all about human connection, remember?

Nope! At Yo!, the practice is free-form. You talk your way about whatever topics you want, and the tutor guides you through the practice. No scripts, no rules. After all, real life doesn’t have a script—real conversations don’t, either.

God forbid! You’re in control. Book your sessions whenever you want, at the best days and times for you—no restrictions.

Only if you feel like it! The focus here is on practice, so the idea is to come as you are and just start talking. Consistent practice will help you unlock your confidence and fluency.

We also have a massive library of support materials for sessions, so you don’t need to worry about that. But if you want, you can upload your own materials to use during the session.

You get all the benefits of Yo! without downloading a thing. Sessions happen in Yo! Zone (get it? 😄), our fully-equipped video call platform with chat, whiteboard, collaborative notes, and file uploads—everything you need for the most comfortable and fun conversation sessions.

Of course! You can access Yo! Zone right from your phone, tablet, or computer browser—whatever works for you. We recommend using a computer for the best experience.

What year is it? There are better things to hang on your wall, right? (haha)

For real, we don’t believe in certificates when the goal is to speak English. Our mission is to help you speak confidently in your daily life, and that result only comes from consistent practice. Trust us, you’ll see visible progress as you practice and build confidence. A folder full of certificates is pointless if you can’t actually speak, right?
What really matters is that you speak—and no paper can guarantee that.

You bet! We want you to become a yoser knowing Yo! is the perfect place to learn to speak English for real. That’s why we offer one free ticket so you can try it and see if it’s right for you. Just sign up, and your ticket will be waiting in your dashboard. So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try!

You must be 18 years or older to create an account on Yo! and use our services. This is our only requirement.

No, it won’t be Chapolin Colorado (haha). It’ll be Yo!’s support team.

Whatever you need—or even if you just want to say, “Hi, Lorena!”—you can reach out by submitting a ticket on our Help Center. You can also browse our support articles if you’d rather figure it out yourself (we won’t mind). We’re always here to help you get back to practicing.
