What Business English is

Business English is the English you use at work: the vocabulary of your industry and the situations where language matters most, such as meetings, presentations, emails, calls and negotiations. It differs from general English because it starts from the learner's real professional tasks, not from a fixed textbook.

What the program includes

  • A 30-minute diagnostic session and a personalized written study plan
  • One-to-one 60-minute lessons in 6 stages, with at least 20 minutes of protected speaking time
  • A vocabulary pack for your industry
  • A personal error log and a monthly progress report
  • A quarterly level re-assessment (CEFR)

How the online lessons work

Lessons take place live on Microsoft Teams, which works on a computer, tablet or phone, including in the browser. Free rescheduling with 24 hours' notice. Students outside Brazil are welcome; prices are in Brazilian reais (BRL).
