About Course
Courses in small groups of 2 to 4 students and individual training
At Alexander Language Schools all programmes (courses) are subject to availability and start upon registration of a certain number of students.
Trainings in standard groups of 5 to 10 students are among the most sought after because of the relatively affordable price. At the expense of the lower budget, however, you will have to adjust to the predetermined weekly and hourly schedule.
Sometimes, in order to study in a standard group, you may have to wait longer to enroll the minimum number of students.
In case you are impatient to start your studies or you need to pass one or more levels in a short period of time, you do not need to wait for a start date for a standard group of at least 5 students. You could take advantage of small group trainings or even study individually. These programmes /schedules/ are suitable for students with flexible working hours who cannot attend classes at the same pre-scheduled time for the entire course, as is the case with standard groups that start at a fixed time.
Small (closed) groups are also formed when this is your wish or requirement, for example for your family only or for your small work team. The weekly schedule is fully coordinated with you. We adapt to your rhythm of life and we are flexible from start to finish. In these small groups or one to one tuition you can increase or decrease the number of hours and/or visits with us, you even have the right to postpone certain classes. You will be able to pause some of your studies for a while when you have other commitments or priorities. Of course, you always have your budget at your disposal and use it to the fullest. All these extras are impossible when you study in a standard group and where the responsibility for how often you attend or miss classes is yours alone. Another clear advantage of these trainings is the opportunity to emphasize certain skills that are more important to you. For example, you travel often and conversational English is important to you. Then we will focus on more exercises to develop your skills of speaking. Or you work in an international company and communicate via written correspondence. In this case, of course, we will encourage you to develop your writing skills as well.
Tuition Fees: Practice shows that when you study in a small group or individually, you progress faster and cover the learning material in fewer hours than when you study in a standard group of 5 to 10 students, for example. While in a standard group you need 100 hours to complete a level, here it is normal to do it in 50 hours. That is why the fees have been formed for 1 level for 50 hours, paying per hour depending on the number of students – from BGN 13 per hour per student in a group of 4 students to BGN 35 per hour for one to one tuition.
