» Private Tuition or Business Courses
One-to-one language training gives you the ultimate flexibility
in your language learning. Whether for business or personal
reasons, it is ideal for those who have limited time in which
to learn the language, need to make progress fast and/or require
training in specific subject areas. You decide on the content
of your lessons, leaving your fully-qualified, native speaker
trainer to focus on your linguistic needs and any problem
areas. You will go through everything with your trainer at
the beginning of your course to make sure you get the maximum
possible out of your training, and the lessons will take place
at the pace that's exactly right for you.

Course Specifics
Timetable
Most lesson times are available for your 2 hours. Whilst
it's good to try and stick to the same time every week, you
can change lesson times and days with up to 48 hours' notice.
Once you've decided on your normal session time and day, and
what you want to focus on, we'll select the trainer whose
experience and availability best matches your needs.
Getting the Most out of your Course
The secret to getting the most out of your course is to have
a set plan of what you want to do and achieve. Ask for homework
and set aside time every week to work on your vocabulary,
grammar and useful phrases, and make sure you practise writing,
reading and speaking on the subjects you enjoy. Even at beginners
level there are plenty of things you can do on your own!
