Corporate English Training

Individual training plans focus on the main functional skills required by the student in his/her professional life and consequently all my courses are individually designed for the client. In other words the course is designed with the target group in mind, and all content is selected according to the client’s actual needs. This involves the development of a course concept, which is flexible enough to adapt to learner needs from lesson to lesson. In this way, I can incorporate the real workplace routine of the participant into the course, providing practical value to the training.
