Business English

Students who need English for Business usually require two different types of class:

  • A General English class in the morning. You work with with other students of the same level to improve your English.
  • One-to-one afternoon classes. You practice general skills and very specific skills that you need. You might practise sales negotiation, writing a quotation or giving presentations.

Maybe you want to improve your academic reading skills. Perhaps you are a salesman, and you want to learn how to negotiate in English. We can help you. This may be the only time this year that you can study English. It has to be right.
