YOUR NEED

Is your English good enough for you to feel proud of how you use it in your job?  

Do your clients and customers understand you, and do you feel that you understand them and deliver your best possible service in English?  

Are you relaxed when speaking English for your social life or do you find it difficult and feel that you cannot join in?  

Would it give you an advantage to speak better English when you are going for that next promotion, or competing with others for a new job?

Are you moving to an English-speaking country and need to learn the language urgently?

For the children, especially the adolescents, is the level of English language sufficient to pass the exams that they need?  

To get them into their chosen university?

To equip them for the modern working world and to give them an advantage in their chosen profession?

SOLUTION

Debbie offers a range of private coaching solutions including face to face and on-line via Zoom/Teams on a one-to-one and small group basis.  

-         One-to-one learning offers fast and highly effective results which are personalised to the client needs and priorities.  For adults and adolescents this can be delivered via online or face to face and, for smaller children, face to face works best.

-         Group learning works well for company staff, especially when they do similar jobs in the customer service sector, and a programme of 4-10 one-hour sessions in groups of 4-8 staff can yield an enormous improvement very quickly, both face to face and online

-         Group learning also works well for those who are seeking to improve their level of social English in a relaxed environment and Debbie offers an affordable programme of conversation groups on-line

The recommended time for effective learning is a regular programme of on-line calls ranging from 40 minutes 2-3 times a week, to one-hour sessions with children, and then to 90 minutes from 1 to 3 times a week for professional adults who need intensive work to achieve results fast or are perhaps working towards an important business goal or an exam such as TOEIC.

My priority is always to find the solution that best fits the client requirement and I always offer a free consultation at the start of a project to establish a programme that meets the client needs and budget.
