Yes, we offer training year round, except for a week or two around the winter holidays.

You must have enough vocabulary and syntax to cover many situations, and that vocabulary/syntax must be activated so that it is productive, not just receptive. In other words, it must be “top of mind.”

For most intermediate/advanced clients, building active vocabulary and practicing new vocabulary with  smart, relevant conversation is key. Of course, corrections must be provided.

An online lesson can be 30 minutes or longer. An in-person lesson is 90 minutes or longer.

That is really hard to answer, but 20 hours is a good size package for many clients. However, some clients only need a few quick hours to prepare for an important presentation or interview, while other clients want a slow steady approach and a big improvement. Those clients have worked with us for a long time.. Everyone is unique.

Training can take place on the schedule that suits you best. Once or twice a week is common. Except for intensive courses, which are usually one to 2 weeks.

Training is available Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 20:00.

There is always lots of active conversation with corrections plus specific skill building; often jargon, idiom and pronunciation. Each lesson’s activities and content are customized for the client’s interests, work sector, level and goals.
