The following graphics illustrate the difference to conventional language schools in direct comparison. You will notice the advantages of the cXc | crossXculture Fair-Share principle at a glance. In the standard calculation, there is literally not enough space to even write the word 'skills'.

What are the values we stand for?
crossXculture language training combines devotion, competence and personality - for your success.
Successful language courses result from the fruitful interaction between student and trainer. This everyday interaction is the continuous source of inspiration that so often culminates in a learner’s success. Since the very start of crossXculture, in January 2005, we have given this interaction our utmost attention. Here is what makes us so effective:
Comfortable
Our hands-on courses offer lots of room for personal flexibility without the risk of losing track of your goals. You can easily adapt your course contents, the number of weekly appointments, as well as the course duration to suit your changing business needs.
For courses that are enjoyable to attend week to week, and for goals that you can reach with comfort.
Safe and Secure
Our modern back office provides current information on your courses, bookings and payments. Thanks to our end-to-end data management, you will benefit from a host of convenient functions, such as 1-Click Mail for course notifications.
By logging on to our network, you can easily send e-mails to notify individuals or groups of room or schedule changes, write and share notes on individual participants, print copies of all invoices, get access to training statistics, follow a participant’s personal training history, etc. And because all courses close automatically when reaching their limit, you are always right on budget.
Supportive
Our experienced trainers love to share their knowledge with you. With crossXculture’s Fair-Share System you can be sure that your valuable training fees mostly benefit the quality and equipment of your language course.
We find that personal motivation and continuity are vital for the desired language training success – not only on the side of the student, but also on the side of the trainer.
Company fact file
cXc | crossXculture was founded in January 2006 by the Frankfurt born entrepreneur Karsten H. Hein.
Having been raised both in Frankfurt and New York, Karsten grew up bilingual in German and English and holds an M.A. in English Language, Literature and Philosophy studies.
Unable to find a single well-paid job for freelance language trainers when searching the German job market for freelance trainer vacancies, Karsten ultimately decided to help close this gap. He set up cXc | crossXculture, a school dedicated to providing well-paid jobs to qualified and experienced trainers.
The company has been designed to have low overhead costs and has therefore been able to continuously channel two thirds of its income directly to its qualified training staff. This has had a noticeably positive effect on the quality and stability of its relationships with both trainers and customers.
Today, cXc | crossXculture teaches more than 700 students in 150 language courses in companies and homes throughout Germany and offers a potential of 26 languages with a growing database of over 1000 qualified trainers to date.
Due to its beneficial nature to both its trainers and students, the company has been able to spread a truly positive message that is also reflected in its defining slogan: ‘Good news for you.’
cXc | crossXculture
Good news for you.

Maintaining a fair balance of give and take, since 2005.
How great is our joy when we are given freely by others. At crossXculture, we use the power of giving to bring people together in class and get them excited about learning together. We provide our trainers with fair conditions all around so that they can dedicate their full attention to their students.
Since 2005, the fair balance of give and take has been an important concern for us and the reason why we especially celebrate Christmas as the 'Festival of Giving'. Below you will find a whole decade’s worth of our Christmas greetings to our clients, trainers and students. The message is always the same: "Let's be present for each other. It's worth it." — Enjoy the read :-)
