About Language Trainers
Since 2004, Language Trainers has provided business and non-business clients from all over the United Kingdom, Ireland and the world with personalised language lessons.
We tailor every course to address each customer’s distinctive preferences, objectives and schedule. With Language Trainers, our clients learn whichever language they want to know, no matter how uncommon it may be, at a time and place that suits them.
So, after our dedicated team of academic and language experts learn where our customers want to have their lessons, whether at home, the office or in a public place (or online if that is more convenient), they will locate a qualified and experienced tutor to help the client achieve their specific goals.
The Language Trainers Journey
Client informs the Sales Team which language they want to know and their objectives
The Academic Department will design a tailor- made language course
The Relationship Management Department will designate client's course coordinator and teacher
Client meets their teacher and begins the course
The course coordinator contacts the client for regular updates, ensuring all requirements are being met
Language Trainers is the preferred supplier of many multinational enterprises
Lastly, we are a language training company you can rely on! Language Trainers is listed with the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP), accredited by ELCAS (Ministry of Defence), certified by ISO 9001:2015 and rated A+ with the Better Business Bureau.
So, wherever you are located and whichever language you want to learn, we guarantee all our services will uphold regulatory and customer care requirements and to strive for continual improvement.
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.
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.
The directors have nearly 35 years of experience in language training and learning and speak many languages between them.
Language Trainers is a trading name of Brighton Early Ltd (registered in England and Wales as Company No. 4900290 and VAT No. 866780964). The company has also recently launched LovLan, a self-service platform for online language tutors
