We have delivered phone and online lessons to many students all over the Iberian Peninsula. Our team have worked hard this year and given our clients the best in-company language teaching service in Spain. We now look forward to September and to starting the 2018/19 teaching year. See you then!

Carol was a good student. She wrote everything her teacher said in her notebook. However, Carol had a problem. When she tried to speak English at meetings, words wouldn’t come to her mind. I asked her how she studied, and she explained that she memorised expressions from a list but never practised them. I reminded Carol that you don’t really know a concept until you’ve actually learnt how to use it and advised her to change the way she learnt. How could she do that? Read on to find out.

It’s slightly past 6PM when I call one of our clients because their teacher has been held up in a traffic jam and will arrive late for her in-company class. Nobody answers, but I do hear their recorded message, which has several errors and definitely projects the wrong company image. Are you sure your outgoing messages are correct? Please read on for samples you can use.
