About NEI
More than an English school. A bridge between Brazil and Australia.
Newell English Institute was created to prepare Brazilians for real opportunities in Australia through practical English, knowledge, community and professional connections.

James Newell
A story of purpose and connection.
James Newell is Australian and has a professional background in education, international business and people development. Throughout his career, he has built a strong connection between Australia and Brazil, combining his Australian experience with a deep understanding of Brazilian reality and of the opportunities for integration between the two countries.
Over the years, he noticed a major challenge faced by Brazilians who want to study, work or live in Australia: a lack of real preparation in English and a lack of practical, reliable information.
From that experience, NEI was born — an online school that combines English teaching with knowledge about Australia and professional development.
Our goal is to help Brazilians communicate with confidence, understand the Australian market and create opportunities for a better future.
