Inside Our Methodology: How We Turn English into a Reflex

Discover our unique Reflex Learning methodology and learn how we rewire your brain to make speaking English instinctive and more effective. 

You’ve put so much effort into learning English…years of classes, hours of study, hundreds of vocabulary lists. You can easily read and hold a conversation in English. But in a meeting or presentation, you sound too hesitant. You can feel your audience is bored. You’re not quite getting the results you want. 

Why?  

Because you’re not learning English in the right way for this stage of your career. You’re using the same techniques from years ago, reviewing the same old phrasal verbs, and spending hours in banal conversation classes. 

Our proprietary Reflex Learning™ methodology takes you out of that frustrating, ineffective cycle 

  • What is the Reflex Learning™ methodology? 
  • Why does Reflex Learning™ work? 
  • How is Reflex Learning™ different from traditional English learning? 
  • What results do you get with Reflex Learning™? 

Reflex Learning™: The science of instinct, not memory  

Rooted in cognitive science, Reflex Learning™ is a unique way of studying English. In fact, it’s not ‘studying’ at all. 

‘Studying’ English doesn’t work once you can already hold a reasonable conversation; memorizing more grammar and vocab won’t take you to the next level. 

Reflex Learning™ stops you relying on memory. As per the name, it turns speaking English into a reflex  

It’s rooted in a powerful and well-established cognitive science principle: you learn by doing. Reflex Learning™: 

  • Moves English from the analytical to the instinctive side of your brain 
  • Means you no longer have to translate in your head (because English comes out naturally) 
  • Develops the confidence to communicate with greater authority and effectiveness 

Muscle memory: Why Reflex Learning™ works 

The methodology is designed around how the brain really learns. Spaced learning, repetition, and deliberate practice are proven to rewire the brain, moving a skill from conscious effort to instinctive performance.  

It’s just like developing muscle memory in sport 

  • Hard-core repetition in high-pressure situations: Each session feels like an actual presentation/pitch meeting/negotiation/online networking event. 
  • You don’t study skills, you execute them in different ways: Most English schools teach presenting by talking about presentation skills (as an example). We don’t waste time on theory you already know. We make you give a work presentation. You’ll talk through your slides in 10 different ways, then respond to 20 different questions. Your trainer keeps upping the ante until you can respond instinctively in English for each element.  

By the time you’ve done a task 40+ different ways in training, you’re ready to handle it in real life. 

You’ve never practiced English this way before  

Traditional language schools teach you about English. We teach you how to use it in a business context. 

Every 1:1 session is designed to put your brain under pressure 

Say you’re practicing how to handle a Q&A at the end of a presentation or pitch:  

  • Your trainer will ask you 5 quick-fire questions about the topic. You’ll barely have time to breathe before the next one comes at you.  
  • After you’ve answered them all, your trainer will ask you the questions again.  
  • You’ll repeat the process until you can respond as quickly as the questions come at you. 
  • Then, the questions will get more complex, requiring more complicated grammar and phrases to answer…and you’ll repeat the process. 

Of course, this approach is harder than standard English conversation classes where you talk about your weekend, practice phrasal verbs and discuss generic presentation skills. But it’s the way you actually become more effective at using English in a business context. 

The result: Your English finally works at work 

Over the past 16 years, we’ve trained more than 15,000 businesspeople using Reflex Learning™. The results are consistent: our students say, “I knew how to speak English before. Now I know how to use it in the situations that matter.” 

We don’t focus on making you a ‘perfect’ English speaker. We make you an effective English communicator.  

You won’t know every word (native speakers don’t either – you don’t need to). You will be able to use your English to win deals, command attention, work a room, and inspire an audience. And those are the results that matter.
