1-1 lessons very efficient; well adapted to my needs


Lessons with teacher Cherry (right)


Our latest student came for a 2-week intensive language training immersion.

Salima (left) works for an international company dealing in waste water treatment; she needed to improve her English for all kinds of business situations: presentations; negotiations; participating in meetings and socialising generally overseas.

She stayed with our host Linda whose conversation helped her to improve her "everyday English"  They developed quite a friendship and went to Bournemouth for the day together on Sunday.

About her lessons with teachers, Cherry and Toby, she commented: "The 1-1 lessons are very efficient.  They are really intensive and they are adapted to my needs.  I wanted to improve my English for business and it is done.  I've learned a lot of expressions, vocabulary and we did many role plays which are very useful.  

"After two weeks I feel more confident.  Thank you very much for the kindness of the team.  I've discovered the area and it was very pleasant for me."

Tres bonne formule pour progresser

Sylvie came to Heritage English for one week this month.  She works for an international company as a Quality Control assistant.

Her objectives were to raise her level as much as possible from A1+ or beginner to pre-intermediate.  She worked very hard in and out of lessons and she appreciated the afternoon outings - in particular a train day out to London with her teacher.  They managed to fit a Thames River Boat cruise into a packed day spotting Big Ben, Tower Bridge and walking over Westminster Bridge.

"Mes objectifs etaient d'etre plus a l'aise dans l'expression et de mieux comprendre mes iinterlocuteurs: objectifs atteints!  Tres bonne formule pour progresser - demande beacoup de concentration et d'effort!!!"
