Hello, I'm Alex

When classes are small enough to allow individual student-teacher interaction, a minor miracle occurs: Teachers teach and students learn

About us

I thought it would never work when we started Lingo School of Knowledge in 2004. I thought it was too simple because it didn’t have more than one class a week. Was it enough? At just 2 hours? I was also concerned about students’ lack of time to learn German, French or Spanish after a full day of hard work.

I was afraid that students might not have the time to learn and may quit halfway. But I was also fed up with seeing other schools squeezing many students into a class so that they could earn a higher profit.

So, I decided to start a German language school with a couple of German teachers (subsequently, French and Spanish) in a fully interactive class that only a small group of students can achieve. If it didn’t work out, I figured that at least I had tried my best.

I thought to myself: “I have little to lose”…

Now, those first nine weeks were a little weird, to be honest. The initial batch of students were surprised that the class was small. And they got attention from their trainer, which they never had before.

Smaller class = better attention

They made true friends who were also interested in improving with them. They dared to ask questions because it would seem weird if they did not. They went back home happy and continued coming to class week after week.

But all that went over when I noticed we didn’t “lose students” as I thought we would. I gained quite a bit of referrals… The students returned to us excited to learn German and signed up for new terms.

Some stopped after they achieved what they were looking for. One even told us that she is happy to be able to read off French food menus and travel to France and speak with them without any hesitation.

You could not argue with the results.

You will improve even when you only attend one German class weekly because that class matters. The quantity and quality of our courses matter.

And that’s why I’m telling you to do it today. Our lessons work better than everything else offered in Singapore.

Don’t believe me – try it for ten weeks.
