Core skills
The fundamentals of good communication.
Vocabulary
Your vocabulary comprises the basic building blocks of your communication. Whether in general business communication or in language specific to your industry, choosing the right words is essential to effective communication.
Pronunciation
A large vocabulary is effective when delivered with clear, precise, and understandable elocution. Being able to pronounce and articulate well is key to delivering an effective message to your audience, We work with you to pronounce and articulate your speech well. In some cases, we will refer you to an accent reduction specialist.
Grammar
The grammar is the cement that holds the building blocks of your vocabulary together in a cohesive and coherent format.
Applying the fundamentals
We focus on your English language skills with an emphasis on the workplace. We do exercises to improve your reading and listening comprehension, your speaking skills, vocabulary (with an emphasis on phrasal verbs and idioms), and grammar. We use authentic materials that you deal with on a daily basis: emails, presentations, business articles, and role-plays of scenarios you may come across at work.
There are two ways for you to benefit from our offering: through 1) individual lessons, or 2) together in a group.
Individual lessons
Through frequent, regular and effective one-on-one lessons, combined with concentrated, focused practice, you have the best opportunity to make rapid progress. I will provide the materials, structure, and guidance necessary for you to improve. Together with your hard work of dedicated English language practice every day, outside of our regularly scheduled lesson time, you will see dramatic improvement in your English language skills.
Group courses
By working with others, you have the opportunity to leverage your learning across a group. Group study sessions, sharing resources, and helping each other when it might become difficult are all advantages to studying in a group. You will still be responsible for your individual daily practice outside of the group classes, but with the help of your fellow group members you can make very rapid progress.
