Tailored tuition

One-to-one or small group language classes can be delivered at any level, from beginner to advanced, and can focus on the kind of language you want to learn; be it for translation, academic research, or to be able to interact confidently with speakers of the language when visiting the target language country.

For corporate clients, tuition can focus on the kind of language clients will be required to master and use: for giving presentations, understanding the language of business contracts or legal documents, negotiating with business counterparts, or being able to interact confidently with speakers of the target language on social occasions.

A specifically tailored course is the solution if you are unable to attend one of our scheduled language courses or want to make sure that the course content perfectly matches your language learning needs. Your tailored tuition class will be taught by one of our expert language teachers and the syllabus content will be designed to match your learning objectives.

I took an intensive Chinese refresher course and it was excellent that the teachers originated from different locations, such as Xian, Beijing and Taiwan. This meant that their different accents provided variety and fresh challenge in each session.
