Tailored business English courses for professionals
Stephen’s teaching service offers a personalised approach. He knows that busy professionals don’t have time to waste on generic language lessons. His method is highly customised to the individual or small group, starting with an in-depth assessment of your current level of English proficiency and your specific business needs.
From there, he creates a tailored plan that focuses on the areas most important to your success.
Grammar and Language Gaps
One of the key areas Stephen focuses on is identifying and addressing gaps in grammar. For many professionals, who already have a working knowledge of English, the difference between being competent and truly proficient often lies in mastering the finer points of grammar. Stephen’s approach is to work on these gaps in a way that is both technically accurate and relevant to your business communications. He ensures that your English grammar aligns with professional standards and is free of the errors that could otherwise undermine your authority in high-stakes business settings.
Presentation Skills
In international business, the ability to deliver a presentation confidently and fluently in English can make a decisive difference. Stephen works with you to practice and polish presentations, honing both your language and delivery to ensure you make the impact you need. This includes working on intonation, pronunciation, and clarity — essential elements for ensuring your message resonates with English-speaking audiences.
Listening and Conversation Skills
Communication is a two-way street, and Stephen places significant emphasis on improving both listening and conversation skills. Whether you need to participate more effectively in meetings, engage in discussions with international colleagues, or handle difficult conversations, Stephen’s training will equip you to do so in a way that is fluent, confident, and effective. With his experience as a CEO and consultant, he understands the intricacies of business dialogue, from negotiation to casual conversation, and he can help you navigate these interactions smoothly.
