Introduction

1. What software and hardware do I need?

Our VIP and group classes cover all time slots as we have teachers based across all time zones. Create a schedule that works for you and feel free to change it up as you need to.

Even if you’re a beginner, you’ll learn quickly with our immersive methods.

5. What is the difference between a Fixed Plan and a Flexible Plan?

The Fixed Plan is a course-based system that is high intensity as the frequent class schedule requires substantial time and energy. Lessons are scheduled upon a previously agreed fixed time of the day and are conducted on a daily basis, by the same teacher. It helps to achieve fluency as a more long-term goal, using habits and solid structural learning to help improve your language skills. As for our Flexible Plan, you can choose from 20, 45, 90, 180, & 250 classes. You can book as many classes as you wish in one day as for this plan. One of the perks of the Flexible Plan is that you can study at your own pace and we can provide you a custom-made lessons that meet your learning goals and needs, i.e. some students want to study (or work) abroad, some need to improve their English for their present job, while others just simple want to learn English as a hobby. Your learning schedule is entirely up to you so that you can stay on top of your journey to fluency. Find out more, as well as prices, here: → Shop Page

6. What are Group and VIP classes?

Group classes include not just you and the teacher but other students as well. Don’t worry, we aim to keep our class sizes small, so you’ll always get the attention you need in class. For Fixed Plan (Group class), maximum of 6 students and as for Flexible Plan (Group Class), maximum of 8 students. Private classes will only be you and the teacher, which is a good option if you want to maximize your practice time during class.

7. Can I organise my own group lessons if I invite my friends to join?

Of course, you can! If you decide to purchase the whole group class i.e. pay the total sum for all of the students in the group class (one person pays the total sum for either 4 or 6 students in a group), a discount of 20% will be applied for a class of 4 students, and 30% for a class of 6 students for only one person in the group – in this case the person who pays the total sum. The student who makes the purchase for the whole group is thereby responsible to find the other 3 or 5 students. No discount will be applied for a Semi-private class (2 students). If a student purchases only a class for himself/herself in a group class of 4 or 6 students, there will be no discount applied unless he or she purchases a block of 2 classes per day i.e. 50 minutes.

8. How long will it take to see improvement in my language skills?

It depends! We build our language courses on a foundation of consistency & regularity which are the basis for any successful study. Our firm conviction is that this kind of approach is paramount for fast and efficient progress in the process of mastering any given subject and it is especially effective in the process of language learning. Science and practice have proven that CONSISTENCY AND REGULARITY are the key in successful language studies. The more work you put in and the more your learning becomes a habit, the more you’ll get out of it. VOX365EDU learning method is structured based on a scientific approach – MEASURING PROGRESS. WE create courses tailored specifically for each individual student or a group of students (in the same level) and constantly measure and monitor the progress. If you stick to your classes, you’ll see significant improvement. If you want to see even faster results, you can always take more classes. To learn more, please click here → Learning Method PDF
