Your ideal language learning mix

About our course Phone calls in English.

As a professional, you are on the phone a lot to suppliers, clients, colleagues and so on. You speak to all of them without being able to see them. As a result, you miss a crucial part of the communication: their facial expression and body language.

You can still sense the nuances in your native language but can you also do that in English? Or are you seized by a fear of speaking in that situation?

    Could this be for you?

    You already have command of English to an intermediary level. That means you already speak English reasonably effortlessly in familiar situations. You are OK with face-to-face conversations but you don’t feel confident talking to someone on the phone. Then fixing those arrangements suddenly becomes a lot more difficult.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients, trainers and trainees say.

At first, I was hesitant towards virtual learning formats like distance learning, probably because it is intimidating to be alone with a teacher in a virtual classroom. Now, I am happy with my choice to go digital! I have significantly improved my level of English in a short period of time. Indeed, this tailor-made language course took my current language level into account, as well as my objectives and personal job context. Our lessons focussed on my linguistic shortcomings. And when necessary, I could ask my teacher Jacques for additional exercises on certain subjects.
Tailor-made online language course
Working virtually enables me to do it from the comfort of my home. Talking to a teacher who is, in turn, at her home makes it easier to ask silly question we normally do not dare to ask. Having private lessons helps me learn faster and with the best results, so that I can communicate effectively not only at work but in informal situations too.

Melanie taught me English, with an exclusive focus on my professional field. That means I am now able to do my coaching sessions in Manchester as well. Even my friends and colleagues soon noticed a big improvement in my English!
