The Lexis Method

Learn English that you can use at work.

There's no one-size-fits-all type of class: every class starts with what you do in English⁠—meetings, presentations, emails, negotiations—⁠and what you find difficult today.

The context

The need for English

English is becoming increasingly necessary in Mexico to compete in the job market.

  • Nearshoring and multinational companies

The problem

Incomplete or inadequate training

2025 EF English Proficiency Index

Near the back of the line

103rd place out of 123 countries, Mexico's lowest ever.

Most professionals have already taken English classes, but in general courses that don't focus on speaking and writing for work.

Although most of the Mexican population has taken English classes, a high percentage of professionals have incomplete or inadequate training: they end up taking general courses and repeating levels and topics with little to no practice, and without focusing on what they actually need, which is speaking and writing at the workplace.

In 2025, Mexico ranked 103rd among the 123 countries in the EF EPI*, its lowest position in history.

*The English Proficiency Index (EPI) from Education First (EF) is the world's largest ranking of countries and regions by their adults’ English proficiency.

Since 2019

Since 2019, we have developed educational programs that help address gaps in English learning among professionals in our country, using techniques based on various methodologies and disciplines such as communicative competence, goal-based learning, and sociolinguistics.

Our courses, diploma programs, and workshops provide a solid foundation in functional grammar and general and specialized vocabulary, along with ample opportunities to develop writing and speaking skills.

We offer a variety of online programs (live or prerecorded) designed to meet the needs and goals of each professional, small groups ranging from A1 to C1 levels, and customized courses for company teams or professionals from various corporate fields.

Five steps, from the first class to the certificate.

  1. Needs analysis

    Before the first class, you fill out a form to find out when and why you use English at work.

  2. Level assessment

    You take the EF SET test, and we identify your starting point on the Common European Framework, from A1 to C2.

  3. Customized classes

    Meetings, presentations, emails, and negotiation: each class is drawn from your industry.

  4. Practice outside of class

    Access to class recordings and exercises to reinforce reading, listening, and writing one hour a week.

  5. Wrap-up and certificate

    A final presentation in English. For companies, a DC-3 certificate, with optional ICLT and SEP-CONOCER certification.
