Our experience has shown that a non-native learner of English is linguistically mature to start formal classes at the age of 8.
On average, a student needs 7 years of studying to achieve mastery (C2 level) in English.
Of course, you can. We teach English as a foreign language to a number of students of different linguistic backgrounds both at school and online. We usually advise foreign students to attend customised courses to fully accommodate their needs.
As a school we offer both. However, this is a decision to make with our teachers since the answer depends on the student’s learning profile and prospective goals.
The answer is YES and our graduates can confirm it. We believe that our student-friendly approach makes Mr.Alex English Language School the perfect place to motivate even the most reluctant students to establish a positive attitude towards English classes.
The time a student needs to sit for IELTS/ TOEFL depends on the candidate's knowledge of English at the time and the score they need to achieve. On average, a student who has successfully passed a C2 level exam in the past two years, needs 3 to 6 months to prepare for these exams..
You do not need to prove your knowledge of English with a certificate in order to be eligible for IELTS/TOEFL. However, we strongly advise in favour of it. This is because these exams demand a mastery of the English language in order for candidates to achieve a good score.
The difference lies in the fact that IELTS/ TOEFL are certifications that can be considered valid for two years from the date of the exams. The purpose of these certifications is to prove a candidate’s knowledge of English at the time. On the other hand, a C2 English Certificate is an asset that can be used as proof of knowledge of English in your CV for both academic and professional purposes.
TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is an international standardised test mainly used for professional purposes that proves a non-native speaker’s knowledge at the time, based on their performance at two skills: Listening and Reading. It is considered a far friendlier form of testing one’s knowledge compared to any 4-skill certification or certificate and it usually corresponds to the criteria set for a domestic career in the private sector. The exams take place on a weekly basis. The exam does no longer correspond to the standards set by the Greek ASEP as proof of one’s knowledge of English.
Mr. Alex English Language School specialises in English. We do not offer any other language courses.
Of course, we do. Our school offers both online and hybrid (online and at-school) courses to suit your needs whether you have a tight schedule or live far away from our school. We also offer online classes to students who live in other countries.
