I highly recommend this business English course! It's a very good mix of grammar and free speaking. We are talking about business topics but also topics, that are interesting for us personally. I feel very comfortable in this class! Alex is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and he is completely responsive to our needs. This often means spontaneous changes of the plan during a lesson :-) Thank you, Alex, English is really fun this way and exactly the way we need it for our day-to-day business.

During my traineeship in Germany, I have one lesson a week with my English teacher Alex. If you are expecting boring and monotonous English lessons like in your school time than I definitely have to disappoint you. Unlike at school, your teacher is a real help and there is space and time to fail which supports me to increase my English skills in speaking and writing. The lessons are particularly well structed, and I like the little discussion rounds in the beginning. Furthermore, the course material is adapted to your level of English so that you are neither over nor under challenged.

I recently took an English course with Alex at The Chat Laboratory. The lessons were fun but still professional, and they really helped me with speaking confidently at work. I use what I learned every day, and it’s made my job so much easier. If you want to improve your English in a relaxed and effective way, this is the place to do it.

My daughter has been working with Alex for more than two years, and we are very pleased that Alex is a teacher for our daughter and we are very satisfied with his teaching method! We had an experience in learning German with Alex both personally and via Skype. My daughter successfully passed the exams at the Goethe Institute. I would recommend recommend Alex as a teacher!

I really enjoy learning with Alex every week. He builds my confidence up – if I get something wrong, he tells me where I went wrong and how to do it better.
I highly recommend Alex for language learning. It's fast, effective and fun.

Alex has been my German and English teacher for four years. During that time I achieved level B2 in German and proficiency in English. Alex's style is fun but very effective and the results I achieved have gone beyond my expectations. As a teacher he is always very organized and approachable. Due to my work with Alex, my business has grown siginificantly. Not only does he reveal the langauage structure, but also gives you a great insight into cultural etiquette and manners, which differ from my native background. Therefore I believe that by working with Alex you will gain much more than just learning English and German!

I know Alex to be a very dedicated teacher. He doesn't just work through a textbook from front to back but customizes his lessons to what his student actually needs.
His grasp of the German language is excellent.
