Custom designed for company leaders and executives, my Business Programs are an effective in-house solution to developing English and business skills for your team of managers.
Combining necessary English language skills with essential business techniques and topics, the Business Program lessons are a natural blend of language development and current workplace and leadership skills utilized by today’s business leaders.
Your team can take lessons one-on-one, in small groups or as an entire team—whichever is the best delivery mode for your leaders and your business. We can also introduce team workshops, individual projects and assignments into the Business Program, to provide your managers with real-world practice of their English and leadership skills.

THE BUSINESS LESSONS
The heart of the Business Program are the regular lessons delivered for each student.
My lessons are an engaging combination of conversation, business discussions, grammar and vocabulary development, along with business coaching and development skills.
Students are actively engaged in their lessons, and required to complete various exercises, reviews, quizzes, role-play simulations and business-related projects – all designed to develop and motivate their learning.
To provide an ongoing reference for their learning, students are able to access online materials and resources throughout the program. To keep their learning progressing, students are asked to complete homework exercises and activities, to reinforce the skills and knowledge learnt in each lesson.
CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT: LEARNING + EVALUATION & REPEAT
For ongoing improvement and development for each Business Program student, they experience a continuous series of lessons, with an evaluation of their language skills every 6 weeks. Based on the results of these regular tests, their program may be modified to address any key areas of development.
Ongoing correction, feedback and results are essential to the students’ improvement, and will continue throughout the Business English Program.
Monthly reporting and progress meetings with your company’s key contact provide a regular update on each student’s progress and further opportunities for the program to be modified to the needs of your company and your managers.
