Learn the Business English you need specifically for your business, workplace or studies!
Business English lessons are taught or directed by our founder, Richard Campbell, so you access his teaching expertise and practical experience of using Business English in his previous senior executive and professional roles.
Business English Coaching for you and your team: if you are an entrepreneur or manager and English is a second language for you or your team, we can help you prepare for the challenges you meet when you are communicating in various situations:
- Investors – you need to communicate your vision, share your business plan, negotiate a deal – you need a good command of Business English that is relevant to your business in order to share your passion in a way that will impress business angels & other investors
- Customers – to help ensure that your customer facing staff give excellent customer service, it helps considerably if you “fine tune” your interaction with the subtleties of English politeness (as English is an “indirect language”) e.g. native English speakers’ meaning will often be expressed in subtle changes in sentence stress & intonation which are not apparent in written language
- Professional advisers, suppliers, statutory bodies and other 3rd parties: develop the confidence to communicate effectively with a wide range of organisations, where your relationship with them is critical to the success of your business
- “Big Moments” -– develop your English Language skills so that you can communicate effectively in challenging and stressful situations!
Examples of ways we can help:
- Pitches for investment: Rehearse your presentation / Rehearse responses to typical investor questions
- Customers – you & your team will role-play customer service situations, helping your team to learn appropriate language for polite questions & responses / how to manage difficult customers
- Negotiating: learn persuasive language, within the context of British culture, which will help you negotiate successfully
- Back Office Staff – develop their English Language competence, tailored to their specific roles
- Meetings etiquette: Develop your understanding of formal & informal language for use at various types of meetings with people at various levels of seniority / Learn how to use “small talk” to “break the ice” in various business situations
