Our Teachers

All our teachers are native speakers with relevant teaching experience and are chosen for their commitment to providing quality language training.

Our Courses

All our courses are arranged and designed with a focus on your business needs.

Needs Analysis

All Private students will go through a Needs Analysis, which will establish your specific language skills required to match your business needs.  We can carry out this analysis over the phone or in person. 

This analysis will determine the situations you need to use the language – over the phone, email, presentations etc. - the context of your language use and the amount of time you have to devote to learning the language.  Your teacher will then plan your classes with the appropriate Grammar, Vocabulary and Functions required in these typical situations.   Whether you are looking for ‘Meet and Greet’ skills or skills for a specific presentation, we will tailor your course accordingly.

Level Check

If you have any prior knowledge of your chosen language then your teacher will carry out a quick Level Check – Oral and Written - to establish your current skills level.  This test can also be done over the phone or in person.
