Business English for Finance is a success for Gonzalo

On his arrival Gonzalo was a B2 upper intermediate student with a desire to attain C1 level for studying at London School of Economics.  He stayed with a family in Lymington and had daily one-to-one lessons with two teachers over the time he was here.

It was a tough and very intensive timetable for a 21-year old graduate, but he survived and has left us to continue his studies in London.  His teachers, Stephen and Cherry made sure he had some afternoon time out of the classroom, especially on the final week of his 3-week stay.

Here you can see Gonzalo with teacher Stephen, enjoying the warm sunshine on Bournemouth beach.  Yes, we do get some beach days in England!!!  Or did Gonzalo bring it with him from Madrid?

We wish Gonzo every success in his future career in finance.

German translation from Thomas in Switzerland

Thomas who came for an intensive one-to-one business English immersion recently has kindly translated his testimonial for the benefit of German readers:-

"Everything was perfect!  The one-to-one lessons, the Friday excursion and also the kind host family. 
Die ganze Woche war perfekt, sowohl die Lektionen im Einzelunterricht und der Ausflug, als auch der genze Service und die sehr freundliche Gastfamilie.

"It was a really full immersion week and the program was adapted to my needs.  It was better than I expected
Es war wirklich ein "full immersion" Woche und das ganze Programm war passend auf meine Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten. Es war soger besser als erwartet.

"Your warm welcome made it a week I will always keep in good memory!
Die sehr freundliche Betreuung während der ganzen Woche, machen diesen Kurs zu einem Erlebnis, an welches man sich immer gerne zurück erinnern wird.
"One week is too short to get perfect professional communication skills.  But I feel I made a step forward and I feel more confident in speaking
Eine Woche ist zu kurz um danach perfekt English sprechen zu können, aber ich stelle bereits fest, dass ich Fortschritte gemacht habe und meien Sprache fliessender geworden ist.

"Many thanks to everyone for your effort"
Vielen Dank an Euch alle für den tollen Unterricht!

Spanish juniors enjoy 2 week vacation study in style

Our second group of teenagers from English Workshop based in Durango near Bilbao Spain are working well and enjoying the delights of forest, beach and water sports during their first week of vacation study with Heritage English.
Here they are on the beach, showing that at least we get blue skies in England sometimes!

Gonzalo set for career in Finance

Lessons with Cherry in the first week

Gonzalo has come to Heritage English for a 3-week intensive one-to-one course in English for business and finance.

Aged 21 he has just graduated from university in Madrid.  Whilst he already has an upper intermediate level in English, he needs to improve his fluency, his use of tenses and his financial and business vocabulary.


He has been assigned two teachers during his stay in England.  Cherry and Stephen are working together to help him achieve his goals.  Out of lessons Gonzalo is socialising with his host family who have a daughter the same age.  He has been meeting a range of people which gives him the conversational practice that consolidates the work he is doing in lessons.

Gonzalo is working hard on this very intensive timetable and we anticipate that after a further two weeks he will easily achieve his targets.
