I absolutely loved every single one of my 7 years with Lexis! As a nine-year-old, I believed Math and Science were my bread and butter (I guess it also shows in what my work involves these days) but I thought I had no talent for languages. Yet Lexis changed everything. I genuinely loved every single one of my teachers over the years and I learned a lot more than just English from them – their kindness and joy was infectious and I grew close to each one of them. This is one of the great charms of Lexis – it provides just the right class size to allow enough interaction with the teacher and practice with a small group of students at a similar skill level. I remember the sessions passed by so quickly as we transitioned from one activity to the next, practising our English vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking skills. The teachers always showed plenty of enthusiasm as they worked their magic transitioning from one student to the next. Everything was so seamless and quite simply… fun! I met some of my best friends among my classmates at Lexis and loved walking home together after every class, switching at ease between Romanian and the latest English phrases we had just learned. Thanks to Lexis, I could watch movies without subtitles, read my favourite books as soon as they were published in English, and expand my collection of Physics problems with many more books and online resources in English. In the later years, Lexis helped me prepare for the Cambridge English Qualifications. Yet despite the difficulty of the exams, the lessons at Lexis remained fun and pleasant – there was not a trace of competitiveness, just good humour, proper (British) English, and great advice for test-taking that has served me well for many years to come. Towards the end of High School, when I contemplated following my dreams of studying Physics and Astronomy at a University abroad, moving to the United States and having to take all my college courses (at Princeton) in English didn’t feel like a barrier. Thank you, Lexis, for providing me with great friendships, a solid foundation in English, and proving me wrong: I actually loved learning languages!/p>

To state the most obvious benefits, Lexis prepared me to do well in a panoply of standardized exams, including Cambridge, TOEFL and SAT. More importantly, it equipped me with all the tools I needed to participate in English language instruction and socialization in an American university. Lexis doesn’t just teach English, but also transferable skills such as critical reading, clear writing and constructive dialogue. I found it difficult to pick up such functional literacy skills in traditional Romanian schools. But Lexis was available to fill in this educational gap, and I’m a better communicator because of it.

“They say home is where your heart is. For the past 21 years Lexis Schools of Languages has felt like home to me. A place where I have always been eager to get to: first as a student who had absolutely no idea about English but was about to have the time of her life. Later as a teacher – I happen to hate break-ups! – because not only did I learn English here, but I also learned teaching. Nowadays as an old friend and hopefully pretty soon as a parent whose children will be blessed to be in my dear teachers’ groups…They have the most engaging methods and the best tricks but above all, they have a true calling for teaching.
There aren’t enough ‘Thank yous!’ in the world to express my gratitude! If only all the schools were like Lexis! Learning was fun and meaningful and memorable! Instead of a conclusion, here’s an invitation: this is the perfect place to enjoy learning!”

De ce ai alege să urmezi cursurile la școala Lexis? Vă împărtășesc din experiența mea de cursant, timp de 3-4, ani al școlii Lexis. Am avut privilegiul să am una dintre cele mai bune profesoare pe acre un elev ar putea să o aibă. O profesoară care se gândea la dezvoltarea mea ca elev și ca om. Care, cu multă dăruire, ne-a insuflat plăcerea de a învăța o limbă străină. M-au ajutat foarte mult cursurile, având în vedere că Lexis mi-a dezvoltat abilitata de a vorbi cursiv în limba engleză și de a-mi argumenta ideile cu ușurință într-o limbă străină. A fost la Lexis unde chiar am simțit să mi se acordă atenția necesară și le sunt recunoscătoare profesoarelor care m-au susținut și datorită cărora am reușit să iau note bune la examenele Cambridge și, ulterior, să urmez studiile universitare în Marea Britanie.

Learning is a foreign language can be quite daunting and that’s how I felt about learning English when I first stepped in at Lexis. What I found, however, was quite the opposite, through their process & proven techniques they made it seem easy and I remember leaving each day empowered and feeling I got a bit better that day. Who would’ve imagined back then what an important skill it was and how instrumental would become on my journey? Thank you, Lexis, for transforming the act of learning English from a daunting deed/chore into an exciting and joyful experience.
