Business English for the Workplace

Our business courses help you communicate more effectively in the workplace. We can cover specific areas such as marketing and finance, incorporate project work, arrange field trips and enhance your speaking and writing abilities within a business context.

Lessons are highly participative and focus on developing practical skills, including mock scenarios and role-play activities.

We have experience working both online and in person with groups from companies of all sizes, developing employees’ language skills from managerial roles to customer-facing positions.

Teacher Refresher Courses

Our teacher training courses cover a wide range of skills tailored to your group’s needs – from teaching pronunciation and creating materials to storytelling, error correction and motivation techniques.

We can also include English language tuition if required, and arrange opportunities to observe our own teachers at the Lewis School.

University Preparation

Our University Preparation course familiarises you with the skills needed for undergraduate or postgraduate study at a UK university.
Highly practical, it develops all four language skills, introduces useful strategies, and broadens your academic English.
It is ideal as a follow-up to an IELTS course or in combination with our IELTS Short Course.
