Professional English Courses
Sometimes you do not need general lessons, you need to nail one specific thing in English: a big presentation, a job interview, a report your boss will actually read, or a contract negotiation where every word counts. These focused professional English courses run alongside our one-to-one lessons and target a single high-stakes skill so you walk in ready.

Why take a focused workshop instead of general lessons?
General English lessons build your level over months. A workshop does something different: it prepares you for one specific, high-pressure moment that is already on your calendar. When you have a board presentation in three weeks or an interview on Friday, you do not have months, you have a deadline.
Because the groups are small and the topic is narrow, you get a lot of targeted practice and honest feedback in a short time. You rehearse the actual thing you are dreading, whether that is fielding tough questions after a pitch or explaining a gap on your CV, until it feels normal. Every teacher on these courses has real experience coaching professionals, so the examples and corrections come from the working world, not a textbook.
These workshops pair well with one-to-one lessons. Many professionals take a workshop for an immediate need, then continue with private lessons to keep building. If you would rather have a fully tailored programme from the start, our business English course is taught one-to-one around your role and goals.

Frequently asked questions
What level of English do I need to join a professional workshop?
Most workshops are designed for B1 (intermediate) and above. You should be able to hold a conversation and follow instructions in English. The Career Boot Camp in particular assumes at least an intermediate level, since it moves quickly. If you are not sure of your level, take our free level test or book a trial lesson and a teacher will tell you.
Are these group courses or one-to-one?
The four workshops (Public Speaking, Career Boot Camp, Writing and Negotiating) run in small groups over Zoom, so you practise with and learn from other professionals. If you prefer fully private coaching, our business English course is taught one-to-one and built around your job.
How long do the courses take?
They are short and intensive by design. Some run on set dates and times while others are ongoing, so the schedule depends on the workshop. Each course page shows the current dates and structure. The point is to get you ready for a specific event, not to stretch over many months.
Can I combine a workshop with regular lessons?
Yes, and many people do. A common path is to take a workshop for an urgent need, a presentation or an interview, then continue with one-to-one lessons to keep improving. Your teacher can help you plan the combination that fits your goals and budget.
How much do the professional English courses cost?
Pricing depends on the workshop and whether you add private lessons. You can see current options on our pricing page, and the free trial lets you experience a lesson before you commit, with no credit card required.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can book a free trial lesson with no credit card. It is the easiest way to meet a teacher, check your level and decide which professional course fits what you need.
