ALEX ACADEMY

by George Alex

English mentor since 1989

It's not your English that freezes. It's you.
Your mind thinks you're in danger. You aren't – it's just an instinct.
And it's normal. But let's change it, together.

I help adults activate their English through short daily lessons and live speaking practice.

If you're still uncertain, let me help with this 2-minute test – it will check where you are and what your next step could be.

You're not broken. You used wrong methods. And they got you stuck.

Hey, I'm George. Glad you're here.
 35+ years teaching.
Thousands of students – better jobs, new markets, grandparents chatting to grandkids abroad, people who just want to travel without freezing.
Different goals.
Same problem: the freeze.  
Here's what I do. Daily lessons build the habit of using English till it feels normal – no red pen for every mistake.
Live sessions give you a room to relax in, so good you forget you're "practising."
Private lessons are the most personal and most effective – but also my priciest option.  
Here's what nobody told you: school, tutors, grammar books all teach one lesson – being wrong is dangerous. So English sits in your head, and won't come out when you speak.  
That's not a language problem. That's confidence. The wrong method.  
Natural Learning changes things – speak first, correct when important. Like children learn.  
You don't need to be perfect. You need practice.  
Come see for yourself.

REAL PEOPLE, REAL PROGRESS, REAL CONFIDENCE

Polly H.

"I'm so happy I took part in the Speaking Live last night. We had a good chat – full of enjoyment, laughter and happiness.
I learned new things, and I feel more confident when I speak to new people."

Valentina O.
Bulgaria

"The first month of the course has been very productive. Initially, I had difficulties with listening and speaking, but now I notice significant improvement. My vocabulary has expanded, and grammar is much clearer to me..."

Veneta B.
Bulgaria

"It's very different from any English training I've had before. I'm glad I found this course, and I'm sure I will start speaking English."

Petya H.
Bulgaria

"As a beginner – guess how much I understood! But week by week, by repeating the short video clips and learning the words from the lessons, in 3 weeks I reached what I'd call a good level for a beginner."

MOST COMMON QUESTIONS

In the courses you have daily lessons that you do on your own. In the Live rooms you speak and change partners. So you practise with many different people but always working in pairs. I am in each Live session and check all assignments in the courses. You train Fluency and Accuracy, depending on your plan. So you get the best of both worlds – flexibility, company of other students and I follow your development and help along the way. And the price is a lot lower than private lessons.
In the private lessons we meet in Zoom and you can get some small assignment for homework. You choose what you need to learn – general, business English, grammar, etc. I make the individual programme for you. You speak and practise with me. We train Fluency and Accuracy, so you really improve. You also have special files with your vocabulary for practising on your own and recordings of our sessions to listen to – that improves your progress a lot. And it is the most expensive because it's a special individual programme and you have all of my attention.

It depends which option you pick.
LearnAbility Foundations is built for people with little English – helps build a really solid foundation and develop all skills.
The 7-Day Speaking Challenge and LearnAbility Mastery are both closer to A2 level and up – for people who already know some English but freeze when they need to use it.
The private lessons have no levels – we start where you are. And I build a programme just for you to take you to where you want to get. 
Not sure which is you? Do the test. Or contact me to discuss it.

These rooms are made exactly for you. And yes, most students are shy – but only for the first 5 minutes. Then they start speaking, because it's fun with their partner. 
Every session is a safe room. Mistakes are a normal part of talking – nobody's laughing at you. Your partner also makes mistakes. And I do too.  
If you want to try it, join the Free Confident English Club. No card is needed. Then take part in a Free Live – it is shorter and fun. You will see for yourself.

Not always – and there's a reason. Live Fluency sessions focus on speaking freely first and at the end I discuss common mistakes I noticed. Live Accuracy helps with mistakes and I correct them there in natural and funny ways. 
You learn and practise the correct grammar and vocabulary naturally, in the daily lessons in the courses. So mistakes start getting fewer because it starts 'sounding wrong'. 
Mistakes are part of how you learn a language, not something to fear. With time and regular practice you make fewer and fewer.

Glad you asked. This is the part most students, and teachers, miss. 
You can teach and learn grammar, words and rules. But if you don't change your mind about the language and the learning process, you can't deal with the fear and the freeze because you still pursue perfection that never comes. 
If you don't build good habits and practise regularly, you quickly forget what you learned. 
If you don't get the right encouragement from your mentor, you don't build confidence. 
So yes, I challenge you to think, do, correct... And you get different results – excellent ones.

It depends which path you choose. Go to each course's own page – you can see the price and the different options there. 
All the monthly plans start with a free week. You need a card, but you pay nothing for 7 days. You pay on day 8, if you don't cancel before that. So you can try it before you pay.  
The private sessions are paid every month, in advance. But we talk about the price and the details together, on a Zoom call.

Yes – and this isn't school. There's no academic year, no fixed start every September. 
Cancel a monthly plan any time, and join another whenever you like. Same with courses – stop one, start another, whenever it suits you.

Not sure yet? No problem!

The Confident English Club is the easiest place to start with your regular practice (practice makes perfect, right?) – comment, share your thoughts, send me your audio messages, get my feedback, and join the LIVEs there – all for free.
