Business English
Professional English for meetings, email, negotiation and more.
About This Course
The hard part of workplace English is rarely whether you “know” it — it is whether it is appropriate. An email that chases too bluntly, a disagreement in a meeting where the right phrase will not come, a phone call you cannot quite follow and dare not ask to repeat: any of these can let language undersell real expertise. This Business English course is for professionals around B1 who need English for real work, and aims to take you from coping to commanding the room, all the way toward C1.
It uses Task-Based Language Teaching: every lesson is built around a task you genuinely perform at work — a follow-up email, chairing an update meeting, delivering a proposal, or driving a pricing negotiation. Language is treated not as isolated words and rules but as the tool for getting the task done, so what you learn transfers to your job the same day.
Register gets special attention: the same message is calibrated differently for a client, a peer and a report, and formal versus neutral phrasing each has its place. Your tutor builds high-frequency frames with you and then varies them on the spot until you no longer need templates; you can also bring real slides, emails, CVs or scripts to be refined line by line. With flexible 25-minute 1-on-1 sessions bookable around the clock, you become steadily more composed, professional and persuasive across email, meetings, negotiation and presentations.
Why This Course Stands Out
Built around real workplace workflows — from opening and updates to negotiation and closing
Separate phrase banks and register training (formal / neutral) for email, meetings and presentations
Bring your own slides, emails and CV — your tutor refines them line by line

Who It’s For
Adults who struggle to start speaking; professionals who need practical spoken English practice; test-takers preparing for speaking exams; and learners at any stage who want to rebuild confidence.

Speak with confidence and clarity, more fluent and natural expression, and greater readiness for real work, travel and exam scenarios.
Where You’ll Be Afterward
After the B1→C1 path, you can run meetings, write professional emails, deliver pitches and negotiate — expressing yourself accurately and appropriately at work.
Why the Method Works
Evidence and principles behind the course, not just promises.
Lessons use task-based learning (TBLT): each session centres on a task you actually do at work — an email or a meeting — so language is acquired while doing.
Register is the heart of business English: the same idea is phrased differently to a client, a peer and a report, and the course trains that sense of tone.
You practise with sentence frames plus impromptu substitution — ensuring you always have something appropriate to say before moving to freer expression.
