Juliane

Anna wants to improve her English. She learned it in school but did not focus on it and did not have enough contact with English speakers to make the language live. She knows she can get all the grammar and vocabulary information she needs on the web. What is missing for her is a process that works and that does not feel like school. The Next Level individual online course takes her through a twelve week learning sprint in small easy steps explained in a way that makes sense.

Gill

Gill would like to improve his English. But he hates learning with abstract exercises that are not connected to his life. The Next Level English individual online English course connects everything he learns, every step of the way, to his lived world. And it does so in a way that motivates him with increasingly complex success experiences that feel real and personal.  

A detailed review: Peter Binetsch

There is no English training and no trainer better!

When I needed to quickly improve my English to lead professional development workshops for international teams I didn’t have much time and I didn’t have much hope. This training was a real pleasure, and the results speak (write) for themselves. Take this training … you won’t regret it.

Next Level English with Alexander Harmsen is the best language training you can have, period. I know because you could say I have tried every type of language training. Why is he the best? Because it is so much more than just ‘language’ training.

This training takes you into the language in a way I have never and since experienced. It is a journey from how language works to a learning process that fits this like a glove. A learning process at eye level that integrates the learning in your world and embeds it in what you need to professionally communicate in English.

The result is the network connections your brain needs for the learning to stick! Thank you! There is no English training and no trainer better!

Rebecca

Rebecca runs a small company with some English-speaking customers. She wants to help two employees improve their English so that they are better and more comfortable keeping her English-speaking customers happy. This is not enough for an in-house course and finding a good open course close by was difficult. Next Level English provides her staff personalized English training like an in-house course with the added flexibility of letting them learn at their own speed wherever they are.

A detailed review: Anna Hummel

Very highly recommended!

I had heard many good things from my staff and colleagues about Alexander's 2-day presence business English seminar. But I could never understand how consultants could improve their English customer communication in just two days.

That is why I took part right away in the first online company English course customized for the business English in my company. This is in my experience a much better way to achieve the goals of the seminar: more secure and confident English customer consulting.

We could learn at our own speed. Everything was clearly laid out and explained step by step. We could immediately apply every step of the way. The live webinar sessions were a great way to practice and consolidate the learning. And we could much better allocate the travel, food, and lodging time of an in person seminar to learning!

I very highly recommend this  online English course with Alexander to others who want to master English in a practical way that makes sense.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find an answer to your question? Let us know and we will gladly answer your questions and add the answers.

What do you mean by blended-learning?

Next Level English blended learning combines independent step-by-step online self-study with intensive small group practice sessions with Alexander.

Learners can decide how often and how intensively they need to study a particular topic independently on their mobile device or computer. They then strengthen and test their newly learned language skills in focused online practice sessions. In these sessions they practice their speaking skills and get answers to their questions.

How do you train listening, speaking, and reading ability?

Listening and speaking skills are trained in the live online practice sessions with Alexander. In these sessions every participant actively practice their listening and doing ability focused on the topic of the session.

A link in the course menu let’s participants enter text and have it read back in a variety of English accents at various speeds to practice comfort with a variety of accents and pronunciation.

Reading comprehension is trained with book suggestions for every level and a lesson on the best way to read to improve your English.

HOW DO THE LIVE TRAINING SESSIONS WORK?

The twelve 50 Min. live practice sessions with Alexander are 100% practice sessions in which every participant practices what they learned in the lessons for that session.

These sessions are meant to practice, practice, and practice some more. It is understood that participants will have watched, learned, and started to practice the lesson (s) on their own before the live practice session with Alexander.

How quickly will you master English with next level english?

The value of blended learning - especially with a highly experienced teacher - is well explained in the following Harvard corporate learning video.

The Next Level method has been painstakingly optimized so that most people achieve significant increases in their English ability and comfort within 24 hours of active learning; either in 24 hours of independent work with the learning pllatform, or 12 hours independent work and 12 hours is strengthening and practising the learned in face-to-face online sessions with Alexander.

Most scientific studies measure improved grammar test scores. One of the principles of Next Level English is that communication comes first. Test scores are irrelevant if they do not lead to greater proficiency and comfort speaking English. 86% percent of Next Level English participants said that the course was helpful for their ability to communicate in English about the things they need to communicate about at work. And 100% said they would recommend or highly recommend the course to their colleagues and friends.

A key quote from a meta-analysis of research on the power of blended learning: "Can virtual learning be as effective as in-class instruction? Yes, it can be. Meta-analyses suggest that online courses are about as effective as face-to-face courses. Blended learning courses, however, tend to be the best of all, with the important caveat that students also tend to perform more work in blended learning courses.

Can we exchange a group course participant?

 Exchanging a group participant before the first live session is possible anytime. Send us an email with the new participant's email address and we will take care of everything. It is not possible to exchange a group participant after the first live online practice session with Alexander. It is important that all participants proceed through the course in step.

How can I be sure that participants really participate?

The live practice sessions mean that a teacher monitors the participation and progress of each participant. Project leaders will receive a participation and progress report within three days after the end of the course. Participants will be asked to complete a detailed course evaluation questionnaire immediately after the course, and the project leader will receive the anonymous results as soon as the results are in. Most important for success, however, is that participants have enough time to complete their one hour of independent study per week. This is clearly communicated during the onboarding process and repeatedly during the course.

Does next level english take account of individual communication needs?

Yes...each participant works on the vocabulary and topics that they needs. The same thing is true for participants at different starting levels. The only difference is that some may go through the course faster. 

What Are You Waiting For? Let’s go!
