Executive Language Courses

LSI has over 30 years experience in professional training and specialised language courses. We offer a wide range of courses, flexible scheduling and tailored course plans. Whether you would rather learn in a group or individually, at one of our Executive Centres or at your offices we will design a programme to meet your needs.

One-to-One

• 20, 30, 40, 50 individual lessons per week
• Beginner to Advanced levels
• Course length: any duration
• 1 lesson: 45 minutes (in the USA 50 minutes)
• Courses begin: every Monday

Individual tuition is the fastest way to learn a language. Whether you need general or specialised language, each course is entirely tailored to your needs and adapted to your rate of progress. It is the perfect option for those who have specific targets or limited time. It is particularly convenient for professionals and executives preparing for a business trip abroad, or negotiations and presentations in a foreign language. Our reputation for adaptability and flexibility means that your trainers will always respond to any further requirements you may have.

Areas covered include: Finance, Management, Marketing and Sales, Social Sciences, Law, Medicine, Technology, Correspondence and Report Writing. A typical day consists of a grammar lesson, a skills lesson (writing, reading or listening), a lesson focussing on the student's language needs at work and a session on informal speaking.

(Available at all LSI schools)
