Moms and educators love Monkey Business!
MONKEY BUSINESS is the culmination of years of trial and error. By analyzing a vast number of materials and literature, and spending countless hours on development, Chris has created an excellent resource for children to learn English by listening. Moreover, the children are able to enjoy these listening materials as they learn. I firmly believe that in the future, these students will be able to spread their wings and travel the world over due to their ability to use these English skills in the workforce. This possibility is all thanks to Chris developing these superb materials born out of years of experience.

Meet Chris Howe,
the brains of Monkey Business!
Our founder Chris has been teaching English to young learners for over 35 years. After seeing his students' frustration with boring and difficult materials, he decided to create a program that would channel their natural energy in a positive way.
Monkey Business was born from Chris' effective, fun-based learning system and thousands of hours of research on early-childhood language acquisition. Chris believes that play is a child's work and can be utilized as a great teaching tool.
