London Language Training : Frequently Asked Questions

Why London? Why not other places as well?
 
It is not difficult to find a language teacher- even one with good academic qualifications.
 
The very best teachers suitable for our courses are much rarer and the work is demanding. Our teachers require imagination and enthusiasm as well as their qualifications. They need to be experienced in teaching clients to communicate in their chosen language as well as their thorough linguistic knowledge.
 
These skills primarily come from experience but are based within the personality of the teacher. Most of our teachers have been teaching intensive day long courses for a long time. They too recognise the satisfaction that comes from a client successfully mastering a language.
 
We are fortunate that in London to have the ability to select the very best and committed language teachers suitable for our courses and have them constantly in demand. This is the reason that clients travel from across the country and from overseas to attend our courses.
 
 
Our teachers receive additional training in our method to provide a uniform level of service. Our teachers stay with us because their work is satisfying. They see their charges speaking the language and share this fulfillment.
 
Why only the languages we offer and one basic offering?
 
We resist the temptation to dilute the quality of our services or suggest that a multitude of offerings and variations will work.  We offer what works and strive to continue to do it well. Existing clients see that it works and our past clients market our services.
 
Our clients time is valuable-it has to be invested wisely for a certain return.
 
Often clients come to us having tried the offerings that have traditionally been offered to them. It is often felt that the client can manage with a teacher coming to his/her desk once a week for an hour or so.
 
The employee defers to this notion. It seems to be convenient and save time. The apparent convenience feeds the idea that a minimum expense of  time in short packets will serve the purpose successfully. Many clients have come to us having taken a course of lessons which have not achieved the success they were looking for.
 
Many companies offer their employees the expense of language lessons essentially as a perk. Lessons serve this contribution to an employee's self- improvement well but is often not the most efficient method of achieving of mastering a language.

Shouldn't I learn in the country of the language itself?
 
Mastering a new language should be a deeply fulfilling achievement. It is best if it can be made as enjoyable an experience as possible. 
 
You could seek to combine this experience with going to the country of your choice but we believe that the experience of mastering a language is not a holiday in itself and the two should not be confused at the expense of both experiences.
 
Some clients may feel that they need a holiday after the effort they have invested with us. They can certainly do this in the knowledge that they will be able to use the language when they get to their country of their choice.
 
If you need to master your language in the country of destination and not in London, look for a language training course that matches our own methods as closely as possible and specialises in immersion training.
