Improve or learn
English through one-to-one or small group classes with a professional
English teacher / private English tutor
Our English lessons, provided by one of our friendly, experienced
and professional teachers, can certainly help you.
English one-to-one tuition
Our experienced teacher will come to you at your
office (or your home) at times convenient to you.
English group classes
Our professional teacher comes to your company on a regular basis although there
are still options for flexibility.
These popular and productive English courses are perfect for
improving or learning English for business, travel or relocation
abroad. They enable even beginners to start to speak English from the
very outset and enable quick and effective progress at every level.
With English consolidating its position as the language of
international business, it is rapidly becoming essential for
business professionals to be able to communicate effectively in the
language. A smooth, two-way flow of information between colleagues
and customers allows both to concentrate upon the key issues being
discussed, instead of having them focus upon communication
difficulties, which can lead to distraction and misunderstanding.
For senior figures within your organization, the ability to
communicate effectively in English with British and, often, foreign
customers or colleagues is a key skill in a world where critical
decisions are often made on the basis of personal relationships.
For those foreign nationals who have recently relocated to the UK
with their families, provision of English classes, in the new home,
for their partner (and perhaps children) will allow the families
greater independence and self-reliance, enabling the working partner
to focus their attention upon your company’s business instead.
It may be that the person requiring English classes is a complete
beginner or they could already have a reasonable command of the
language that needs only refining; whatever level and language
requirements they have, we can provide the right programme for them.
Providing English language training for company personnel enables
them to conduct your business more effectively and helps your
company to retain key staff through increased job satisfaction and
perceived benefits.
Our language training empowers your company and enables you to
succeed..

How it works - View / Hide
We appreciate that you are busy, so we visit you on your premises (free of charge and obligation) to discuss your needs, be they for French training for you or your colleagues.
Following an assessment, we can then propose
- specially tailored French programmes, from as little as 18 hours
to suit your requirements, to be delivered, on your premises, at times and dates to suit you – you may like to have
- one-to-one or small group classes (Ideally of up to 6 participants
although we can cater for larger groups; we can advise as to how
participants should be divided between such groups if their levels differ.)
- weekly, bi-weekly, semi-intensive or intensive classes, ranging from a
single 90 minute class each week, through to a number of hours every day
over a shorter period
- ad-hoc maintenance sessions if you already have a sufficiently good
level
with these taking place either as
- regular classes on the same days and at the same times
- classes booked ahead on a diary system or week-by-week to suit your busy
schedule (This option can be less easy for participants to administer if
it is a group class)
- a combination of the above
Whatever you choose, all French sessions are subject to only 24 hours notice
of cancellation, so you can even reschedule your class to attend that
obligatory, last-minute meeting.
We provide individually created and selected course materials free of charge,
so all you should bring into your class is a pen and paper for any note-taking.
Whilst our French teachers are dedicated professionals, our office staff are
on-hand to help throughout your course with us – we are just an email or
telephone call away!
Why it works - View / Hide
We select our French teachers carefully to ensure that you get the maximum
return upon your time with us. The principle criteria by which they are chosen
are good teaching ability and pleasant and positive personality, with both being
required.
As all of our teachers are native-speakers, you enjoy your French classes
with a person who speaks French as a mother tongue, enabling you to reproduce
the language from its original form.
You have the same French teacher* throughout your course, allowing you to
maintain a good working relationship and ensuring that the teacher has ongoing,
first-hand knowledge of your progress at every class. Should you wish to be
exposed to different accents and voices, we can arrange for a periodic change of
teacher.
* For intensive and, sometimes, semi-intensive courses, two or more
teachers work as a team with you, liaising directly with each other before and
after classes. This is to ensure that your class is always fresh and dynamic.
