CEO achieves business English goals in 2-weeks intensive immersion

Hard at work in lessons with Stephen Lee

.  

Prior to making a career change, Denis needed to improve his English for future career situations.  He wanted to improve his grammar, his vocabulary and in particular to practise talking about his career and to describe his professional skills.

Denis had the opportunity to stay for two weeks, so that he had the variety of staying with two different hosts, one in town and one by the seaside.  At the weekend he took the train to London to visit friends.

On the first week he had lessons with Gail and Celia who explained present and past tenses and taught him some useful vocabulary specifically targeted at various topics associated with his personal interests and his professional needs.  

On the second week, he had lessons with Stephen Lee who worked with Denis on questions and answers for a senior job interview.  This writing and oral practice gave our student a great deal of practice and the confidence that he needed when speaking in English in many different situations.

On his last day with Celia, Denis wrote:  "I really appreciated the one-to-one lessons with three different teachers.  This variety really increased the efficiency of the immersion course.  It's a very dynamic method to learn quickly and make progress.

Also I appreciated the host family welcome, their hospitality and open-minded conversation.

"Did I achieve my objectives? Yes!  and more than that.  The immersion method gives you the opportunity to discover a beautiful region, its history and nice food!

We have been told to expect Denis back - for a holiday!  

Thank you for coming to Heritage English

Good luck with the interviews.
