Learn Business English in London
We are committed to providing you with a flexible and highly personal service so that you can reach the goals you have set. Your English language training will be constructed around the needs you communicate to us and with a focus on cost-effectiveness.
The first step is to have a conversation with us to gather the details of what you are hoping to achieve with your English course, whereabout in London you are based, and to assess the ability of the learners.
You will be assigned a dedicated Account Manager. This person will take care of every aspect of your course and will be available to answer your questions and keep the process simple for you.
We keep an extensive database of trusted trainers and so once we have your requirements, we will search for the ideal English language tutor for your learners who is either in London, or can travel easily into the city.
The search can get very specific, if that is needed for your course. As an example, if your team has a need to improve negotiation in English, then your English teacher will be one who specifically has negotiation training – and perhaps even has experience in your sector.
Once we have confirmed who your teacher will be, we will work with them to build your specific English course. The aim will be to help you meet your goals in terms of level and training time, making the best use of our teacher’s extensive experience in helping you learn.
Your Account Manager will set everything up for you. You can choose how much detail you would like, and our Account Manager will adjust as required.
The involvement of your Account Manager continues throughout the duration of your course to ensure that all questions are answered, and progress is being measured. We will make sure that whatever information the learner’s HR or L&D department requires, they receive clear reports in a timely fashion.
We are rigorous in this approach for two important reasons. The first is that return on investment has to be clear on every course. The second is that we want to ensure the satisfaction of learners with their progress, and that our teachers are receiving their feedback.
In the wide collection of English language training providers in London and across the UK, it can become difficult to decide which is most suitable for your organisation.

Each Account Manager has been carefully chosen not only for their experience in language learning environments and client-facing roles, but also due to their meticulous attention to detail and singular work ethic.
We run a single-point-of-contact system by assigning you a dedicated Account Manager. This means every question you have can be directed to one person, and that all the different elements of your course are brought together cohesively with the end-result in constantly kept in mind.

– face-to-face training combined with online, e-learning and/or telephone options so your course can be flexible for busy schedules.
– specialist training targeting specific gaps in learners’ language and communication skills.
We create bespoke content for your course, designed such that it focuses specifically on the requirements of the learners. All the content will be arranged with your Account Manager in conjunction with the English tutor.
Generally, the kinds of business skills that are requested and/or covered could include:

London is one of the biggest cities in the world, and has the largest population in Europe with over 8.6 million residents. It is the capital of England and of the United Kingdom.
The history of London goes back to the Romans, who had actually named the area “Londinium” around two millennia ago. Where today’s financial and business centre sits is actually the original square-mile of the medieval city.
Globally, London is a leader in all sorts of disciplines and industries, making it one of the most prominent cities in the world. Next to New York City, London has the biggest financial centre in the world – and in Europe alone it is the leader with the largest GDP.
London earns the unique status of being the first city to have been a third-time host of the Summer Olympic Games. It is also home to 43 universities – making it the city with the highest concentrations of tertiary education in Europe. From sports to education to fashion to finance – London has it all.
London is also a leader in transport, despite the many complaints of the British public! Heathrow airport has the largest number of international passengers passing through it and the London Underground was one of the first in the world and transports over 1.25 billion passengers every year.
London is a true melting pot with every sort of culture and language you can imagine being found on its streets. However, despite this diversity, the city is run largely on English and English training in London is pretty much a necessity if you are hoping to work in this city.
