Methodology

Professional Development Classes
Professional Development Classes aim to shed light on the relevant sector as it intertwines the English language with the students' actual profession in order to optimize company benefits by providing the tools needed to augment trust internally as well as between foreign corporations. Being able to express one's ideas confidently helps form strong bonds between both parties because they are then able to focus on the situation at hand instead of trying to interpret what the other representative is actually trying to say. Simulating real-life situations and using a contextual teaching style enliven communication skills that are vital to functioning in the global market, which results in a more comfortable working atmosphere and generates better business acumen that is directly transferred to higher profit margins.

Certificate Classes
Certificate Classes are designed to prepare students for particular exams. The most frequently addressed exams are the First Certificate, TOEFL, and GMAT; however, we also train professionals for work-related exams such as ILEC for lawyers. We collaborate with companies that need to educate their employees for professional development exams in English and we also do in-house training that highlights the proper English usage in the field that they are working in. All of these courses are intensive, and aim to use diverse techniques in order to teach the student how to approach the exam. The exams are fairly well defined and thus need to be approached with an organized, rigorous methodology. Each individual need is attended to and this is why the students' hard-work and the teacher's extreme dedication create a classroom environment that orientates the student towards the goal of an optimal score, while ensuring direct results in the workplace.

Conversational Classes
Conversational Classes are designed to augment the student's ability to communicate verbally in a professional atmosphere as well as prepare them for every day encounters. The classes are directed towards a targeted level which challenges the students. We motivate our students by raising the bar little by little in order to keep their attention, and not letting them tire of subjects which they find to be too easy. All classes provide outside materials to offer new vocabulary and ideas that should be used in the classroom. Simultaneously, the student is taught how to improve his pronunciation, writing, listening and semantic skills through self-analysis while he or she is being assessed by a hands-on teacher who dissects the particular problems that each student has in order to give him or her specific advice that focuses on reoccurring or new obstacles that confront him or her. Every student understands that his or her performance results correlate directly with his or her hard work done outside of class as well as the contextual learning style that livens up the educational experience.

The Accelerated Plan
The Accelerated Plan is comprised of any one of the previously stated courses, but there is one difference: time! This course is tailor-made for professionals or future professionals in a rush due to an upcoming deadline that seems impossible to overcome or for those that are looking for a confidence booster before dealing with their future encounter with English. e.g. professionals who are faced with an international conference and don't feel comfortable with the material at hand; professionals/future professionals who need to prepare for an interview; professionals/future professionals, who would like to approach an English administered exam with more confidence, and people preparing for trips to English speaking countries. We assess the situation and the time constraint and then offer the best plan to achieve the desired goal.
