One-to-one General/Business
English Course in Cork
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.
A General course in English will grant you 'Survival English' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in English business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.
Our English courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on English telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.
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. Clients of our General English courses include people moving abroad, those entering a English family through marriage, those studying for a English exam, as well as those who are simply passionate about English language and culture.

City information
The city of Cork and its surrounding area is home to around 300,000 people, and is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland. Often seen as something of a 'rebel' county, native Cork residents have their own distinctive accent, dialect and vocabulary, tending to be higher in pitch than most Irish accents; and often compared with Liverpudlian accents due to the long-standing rate of immigration to Liverpool from Cork.
Home of the Blarney Stone, Cork is a terrific place to pick up a new language, having long stood as a centre for immigration in the region - around 20% of the city's population was born outside Ireland. This cultural diversity means more native speakers of other languages in the region, giving plenty of reasons to study a new tongue.
Language information
English can be a challenging language to learn for those who were not taught at a young age - there are many irregularities and idiomatic phrases that simply need to be learned, rather than inflexible grammatical rules - but with over a billion English speakers worldwide, the advantages of being proficient in the language are obvious. Language Trainers can supply you with a fully-qualified native English teacher who will come to a place of your choosing at a time convenient to you, and can teach either 1-on-1 or in a group. Learning materials are provided for you, and the content of the course is adaptable depending on your individual needs.
