Business English Training - English Tuition - One-to-One

Personalised and Flexible English Language Training for Business

English is undoubtedly recognised as the language of international business and the ability to communicate effectively and confidently in English is a key factor in supporting your success in the global marketplace.

Our Business English courses are geared to helping you communicate more efficiently in a business environment. Whether you need to brush up on your grammar, expand your vocabulary, improve your presentation skills or work on accent reduction and pronunciation, we can help you to communicate more professionally to ensure that you project your ideas effectively and with impact.

Bespoke
Language Training

All our courses are designed to meet each delegate’s precise requirements. Firstly, we determine your level of competence by asking you to complete an online test and then one of our consultants assesses your speaking and listening skills.

We discuss with you the areas on which you need to focus and specifically how these relate to your work role.

Communication Skills

We find that although many of our clients already have a reasonable standard of English, they benefit tremendously from the opportunity to develop their communication skills in the language.

Consequently, time is frequently spent covering areas such as communication style and tone, the language of meetings, presenting with impact and business etiquette.

Course Content

Our clients are often keen to improve their general conversational skills, as well as their business language, so that they learn to converse more spontaneously and idiomatically, participate more confidently in discussions, express their opinions and generally improve their range of expression and fluency.

Your course will be tailored to your precise needs and level, but is likely to include some or all of the following:

social interaction and cultural awareness
grammar and extension of vocabulary
accent reduction and pronunciation
the language of meetings and negotiations
presentation skills
persuading and influencing
developing an argument

agreeing / disagreeing and using diplomatic language
telephone skills and conference calls
appropriate communication etiquette
small talk / social communication
discussion of topical issues and areas of interest to the delegate
written communication: emails, letters, reports

“It was good. VERY GOOD.

It was more than just an English lesson: Carolyn is like a coach, a very active listener, fast and precise, identifying the gaps and proposing actions and recommendations.

She very quickly identified communication improvement areas and I LOVED the straightforward and constructive feedback. I started the lesson sceptic, and I left wanting more.”

Delivery Options

We have a network of trainers in key cities throughout the world. The majority of our clients opt for face-to-face training at their office in the UK or abroad. However, for those who travel or find it difficult to attend in the office, we offer alternative methods of delivery.

Training via video-conference has become increasingly popular, as it allows for increased flexibility. We have clients who travel three weeks in four or who are not office-based and learning remotely is the perfect solution for them.

The frequency of your sessions will depend on the urgency of your need and how much time you can devote to your training. Choose from regular weekly or twice-weekly sessions or an intensive course.
