Become a Supporter
Study With Me
Every month, I (Axl) volunteer countless hours to organizing the social media groups, creating content for learners on social media, and doing free group classes and live streams. I even pay for some of the software and material I use to do what I do.
Becoming a supporter helps me continue to do what I do!
Please note, you do NOT need a PayPal or Stripe account to pay, you only need to be able to pay with one of the payment methods they accept. Learn more.
Become a Supporter
Become a supporter and access supporter-only benefits such as Group Reading Classes.
Current Benefits
Currently, as a supporter, you'll be able to:
Join weekly reading classes (Intermediate and Advanced). Learn about Group Reading Classes here.
You'll also get access to a private section of Discord where you'll be able to:
access notes about key vocabulary and phrases in the article
review discussion notes
download or rewatch videos of these classes for a limited time
Get a 5% discount on packages of General English Lessons, Sessions of Conversation Practice and Speaking Coaching
Access the closed Telegram groups for B1/B2 Intermediate and B2/C1 Advanced learners
Future Benefits
Ideas for future benefits include:
Weekly discussion classes to talk about the monthly topic and additional lesson material shared in the private Telegram groups
Additional reading classes
More streamed online workshops and classes
The current cost is $8.99 USD per month. However, I know that this price is incredibly expensive in some countries.
If you cannot afford it, that's okay! Just contact me, Axl and explain your situation. You can either negotiate a lower rate through PayPal or Stripe. Scholarships are also available for a small number of people. Priority will be given to refugees, students, and people in countries with very weak currencies.

IMPORTANT: Lately I've been having problems with spammers on Telegram. When contacting me on Telegram, please say why you are writing. Do not only say "Hi". Otherwise, I may delete your message without responding. Thanks!
Make a Donation
Making a one time donation helps me continue to help students through free activities! Currently, I am asking people to donate a small amount in order to participate in the closed Telegram Groups.
There are several benefits to joining a Telegram group. In the private groups, I share:
even more vocabulary posts with audio recordings
all transcripts for the listening tasks
(occasionally) explanations of the answers of Reading and Use of English practice tasks
model answers with recordings and transcripts for all the speaking activities I share
a direct link to join any free Zoom classes so you don't need to pre-register
additional activities (grammar, listening, reading etc.) about the monthly topic. Each week, I share the content from a lesson so you have even more to learn from. Often these lessons are based on articles or videos. In the future, I may also hold group discussion classes about this material
I also do check-ins several times a week and other activities available only to participants!
Can't afford a donation or can't use Stripe or PayPal because of the country you live in? That's okay. Just contact Axl with your Telegram contact information. Explain your situation and say why you want to participate in the group(s):

To find your Telegram contact information, go to settings and then click on your username (with the @). It will give you a URL.
Send me either the URL or your @username.

Why support?
Supporting will let me do more, including things which will benefit paying students, supporters, and our community at large.
Currently, my goals are to:
Completely set up and finish this website to create a resource for our community
Buy a better microphone for creating audio posts I did it!
Buy a subscription to the software needed to begin streaming events simultaneously to multiple locations (Facebook, YouTube and possibly Telegram).
Continue to pay for Zoom pro (needed for hour long classes) and Telegram premium (needed for sharing listening exercises with long texts)
Long-term goals include:
Holding B2 First and C1 Advanced speaking classes for small groups
More free or member-only group activities, such as weekly chats on Telegram and/or Discord
Hire an editor to help me with IG content (in my dreams 😍😍😍)
