Private 1:1 lessons. It’s all about you.

(Our Geneva school and the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the USA, South Africa and Malta)

The quickest and most efficient way to improve your English is to have your own private 1:1 trainer. Your private English course is personalised and tailored to your needs. Results come rapidly.
Your trainer will quickly identify your weaknesses and help you correct and strengthen your communication skills. Private lessons are the best option if you lack confidence and fluency in your English.
Why? You might get to speak for about 10 to 15 percent of the time in a group lesson. In a private lesson, you’ll be speaking most of the time. It’s a complete workout and your English muscles and confidence will grow quickly.
