A different approach
With a passion for linguistics, communication and people, we love discovering how to inspire, motivate and share our love of the English language, so that you can find your own unique voice in English - and with it the freedom to comfortably express yourself in personal and professional contexts.
Lexicon House was founded to offer a unique and highly effective approach to language learning combining the best responsive teaching and coaching methods, developed through 20 years of professional experience.
We look not only at what you need but also how to best achieve it. Because everyone learns differently!
Beyond one-size-fits-all lessons that focus on textbook completion, you receive a personalised curriculum that reflects your learning style as well as your professional and personal interests.
We contextualise real-world materials to help you develop cultural understanding for better, more natural communication.
Your curriculum is flexible and responds to your changing needs. We incorporate your current objectives into our lessons, which provides you with a constant source of support and rewards your effort with practical results.
And with results comes confidence.
Content
Unlike a standard language school, at Lexicon House we customise content to prepare for real-world situations and address the changing needs, priorities and interests of the client. As and when needed, we provide expert education of grammar, vocabulary, syntax, and pronunciation. Responsive teaching + coaching = optimal results!
Strategy
In contrast to traditional, passive, teacher-led instruction, our strategy is to establish a dynamic and collaborative coaching relationship. This gives clients greater control and flexibility. It also enables personalisation of content for current needs and leads to better and more efficient progress.
Quality
Working with one dedicated language coach who has proven expertise, a 1st-class university degree and international work experience gives clients a reliable and consistently high quality of service. We keep our standards high and offer you only the smartest, most caring language professionals.
