One-to-one General/Business

English Course in Edinburgh

Whether you want English lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.

General English courses will provide you with enough grammar and vocabulary to allow you to converse with native speakers, and form a strong basis for further learning. A Business course will focus on business protocol in English, and later on reading and writing will become more important.


Courses are, however, tailor-made - you cover in your lessons what you need to cover. Most students taking a Business English course will gain telephone and email expertise, as well as general conversation skills. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.


We have a wide range of Business course clients for a variety of needs; including people who are off to work for a foreign administration, people working in a corporation with overseas headquarters, and import/export specialists. General courses in English suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where English is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in English culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

City information


Edinburgh is something of a city of extremes. While the population is relatively old for the national average, the constant influx of the transient student population (around 100,000 out of a city of just under half a million people) makes up for the relative lack of resident youth. The city has a plethora of history, yet is one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe.

For most of the year the city is like any other historic Scottish city - mostly peaceful, with friendly residents, beautiful architecture, all overshadowed by a medieval castle. But that all goes to pot during the months from July to September, as the Edinburgh Festival runs its course, attracting many thousands of people to Scotland's capital.

Language information


For non-native speakers, the English language can seem like a labyrinth of grammatical confusion and pronunciation blunders. However, with the help of a fully-qualified native English speaker from Language Trainers, anybody can learn to speak English at a proficient level. Our tutors provide all course materials for you, and can customise the course to your specific needs. Classes can be arranged on a one-to-one or group basis, and can be scheduled for a time and place that suit you. You'll be speaking the Queen's English before you know it!
