"Most of my students already know more English than they think. What they need is a place where it's okay to get it wrong out loud, and people who'll keep talking with them anyway."

Quick answers

What is Skool?

Skool is the app where the Beyond Borders community lives: the posts, the live sessions and the Classroom. Creating a Skool account is free. Your membership is what gives you access to the Beyond Borders group.

How soon can I get in after paying?

Request to join on Skool with the same email you paid with, and Azola approves you personally, usually much sooner, always within 2 hours.

Why am I charged in rand?

Payments are processed by Paystack in South African rand (ZAR). Each plan shows the exact rand amount, and your bank converts it to your currency.

Which plan should I choose?

Start with Standard if you want community, weekly live sessions and speaking challenges. Choose Premium if you also want a personal weekly 1-on-1 session with Azola. Not sure? Book a free consultation.
