One-to-one General/Business
English Course in Birmingham
It's no problem if you need to take English lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.
General and Business courses in English differ in style and content: a General course will concentrate on developing confident conversational skills, making short visits to the country less of an exercise in frustration and more about building upon the foundations to your own ends. A Business course will focus on business protocol in English, and later on reading and writing will become more important.
It is your first session and your own requirements, however, which decide the precise content of the course. A Business course will generally include common conversational topics, as well as gaining greater fluency with writing letters and emails in English, as well as using the telephone. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.
Typical Business course students include those in international import/export, those hoping to gain acquisitions in foreign countries, those within multinational corporations, and people who do business with foreign institutions and governments. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, English language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular English exam.

Info about Birmingham
Often referred to as England's 'second city', Birmingham is famed for its industrial importance throughout the country's history, as well as being home to the 'least sexy' accent in the UK. While it may be characteristic of Birmingham's native population, the city actually has the smallest indigenous population by proportion of any city in the United Kingdom. In fact the city has become known as a 'plural city' - that is, one with no ethnic majority.
This cultural variety is what makes Birmingham a cracking place to start picking up a second language. With around 20% of the population born outside the UK, and another 15% from outside the EU, there are plenty of opportunities to discover new and interesting languages around the city; and thanks to Birmingham's city council being the UK's largest local education authority, there is a wide and varied pool of qualified language trainers made available to you.

What with its irregular rules of spelling, grammar and pronunciation, learning English can represent a huge challenge on the part of a non-native speaker. But with a fully qualified native speaking English teacher from Language Trainers, the challenge is halved. Our tutors will supply all study materials and come to meet you at your home or place of work at a time convenient to you. Groups as well as individuals can be catered for, and the course can be amended so you are learning what you need to learn rather than simply a broad lingual overview.

Watch interviews with a few of our teachers, and find out why the best way to learn a new language is with Language Trainers!:
Ola Paula, My lessons are going very well and I am enjoying them. Maje is keeping me on my toes and I feel I am making progress. She works very hard to prepare interesting work and I am enjoying the huge variety of exercises, reading passages and writing tasks. She is certainly fulfilling the programme we set out at the beginning of the course. Hope this is enough. PS my home computer is down for the next couple of weeks and I am having to pick emails up at the local public library. Un saludo James
