Thorough needs analysis
We look at your level, your job and the situations where you need English, then set clear goals for the course.
Business English · Soft skills · Online
Business English for your working week. Your first 3 hours are free.
Online lessons for professionals and teams who use English at work, with a strong focus on soft skills: how you persuade, present, negotiate and handle people, as well as the language itself. New learners start with a three-hour trial at no risk: a thorough needs analysis, detailed feedback after every session and a personal study plan at the end.

Spec sheetRev. 2026
Free trial
Three hours free, at no risk.
Every new sign-up gets the first three hours without charge. You see how the lessons work and what you would be paying for before you decide anything.
Detailed feedback
Written feedback after every one of the three hours: what went well, what to correct and what to practise next.
Your study plan
A personal study plan built on the trial. It is yours to keep, whether you continue with lessons or not.
No payment details are needed for the trial and there is no obligation to continue. The offer is for new learners, once per person or group.
Approach
Digital tools in every lesson, and support between lessons.
Lessons are built around modern digital tools, and the support does not stop when the call ends. Study support by email is included in every course at no extra cost.
Digital tools built in
An online classroom, interactive lesson materials and shared documents. Everything is used live in the lesson and stays available to you afterwards.
Free study support and emails
Questions between lessons are answered by email. You also get follow-up notes and practice material to keep you moving during the week.
Study tips in every course
Each course shows you how to learn as well as what to learn: how to build vocabulary, review efficiently and fit practice into a full calendar.
Methodology that keeps you going
Lessons draw on motivational psychology and modern business practice. Goals are concrete, progress is visible and the content matches how companies work today.
Your own course website
Each student or group gets access to a dedicated website created for them, with interactive activities to practise the content of their course.
Low-cost conversation practice
Extra 30-minute speaking sessions with experienced non-native English teachers from the Philippines, for individuals or groups, at €8 per hour.
Soft skills
Correct English is half the job. The other half is how you use it.
Most problems at work in English are not grammar problems. They are about tone, timing and confidence. Every course trains the soft skills alongside the language, in the situations where you need them.
Communicating and influencing
Persuading, negotiating, giving and receiving feedback, saying no, and delivering bad news clearly and politely.
Working across cultures
Directness and diplomacy, small talk and relationship building, and how the same sentence lands differently in different countries.
Presence and confidence
Leading meetings, presenting, thinking on your feet in Q&A, and staying calm and clear under pressure.
