One-to-one plus business English for professionals
Combining one-to-one Business English with small group Business English classes is a smart way to develop your English for work in a short amount of time.

If you are a highly motivated business professional, our Business English mini-group combined with one-to-one English course could be the ideal choice for you.
At ELC Brighton our expert teachers will focus specifically on your own needs during intensive classes with small groups of like-minded professionals, coupled with in-depth private lessons.
This is the executive mini group programme which lets you luxuriate in your learning, with a proven combination of small group classes (just 4 of you in total) and individual lessons.
Business classes take place in our dedicated Business Centre, and our specialist trainers are highly experienced and well qualified with a proven track record of success working with business people of all types and at all levels.
The course lasts for 2 weeks and each week you’ll receive:
Each course is designed by the trainer to meet your needs and those of the others in the group, and is therefore a unique package, targeted to improve business performance in English. The focus is on using English in your daily work and on general business communication skills: e.g. high-level participation in meetings, presenting to groups and large audiences, communicating efficiently face-to-face, and over audio and video meeting platforms.
Business trainers use presentations, case studies, workshops and role-play simulations. Some sessions may be recorded for detailed analysis and feedback. Participants have free access to our self-study centre outside their lesson times.
Typical course content will include:
