About Language Trainers
Language Trainers specialise in one-to-one and small group language training for business people and busy individuals who need language skills for work, travel and family needs.
Head Office
Run by the directors and administrative team in London, Language Trainers coordinate a worldwide (all over the UK and Ireland, and in major cities in the rest of the world) team of qualified, native speaker language teachers. The Head Office is responsible for administration, recruitment, course development and materials, and academic support for the teachers.
Directors
The directors have nearly 35 years of experience in language training and learning and speak many languages between them.
Teachers
Locally-based to reduce travel time and expense, e.g. a Spanish course in Bristol will be taught by a Spanish teacher living in the Bristol area, an Arabic course in Dubai will be taught by an Arabic teacher living in Dubai.

Online Lessons
Personalised, real time classes by top quality, native teachers.
I wanted to learn some Spanish before hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain this summer. Not only did Jorge cover all the basics with me, but we even went over some maps together, and he made sure I really had all my directions down pat. Now I'll not only be able to find a place to crash, but I'll be able to have a chat with the locals over a bottle of wine, too.
