Learn English for Business and Work
Whether you want to move to a better job or do even better in your existing one, I can provide language training that will help you achieve your potential. I offer flexible focused training to meet specific needs. Our first step together is diagnosing those needs and planning a learning programme to suit you.  You may have specific requirements such as report writing, writing formal emails (not the same as emailing your friends), telephone skills, responding to complaints or running meetings. You might alternatively target an overall improvement in your fluency, accuracy, level of vocabulary and confidence. Studying with Brian Elliston gives you the flexibility to do one, the other, or a combination of the two. Contact me to discuss in more detail and start achieving your goals.

What clients say:
In my job I have to go to meetings and training courses in English. Before learning with Brian I would avoid speaking and ask friends or colleagues to speak for me. I would even avoid foreign tourists in the street if I saw them.

When I first met Brian I wondered ‘How will I talk to him’ and ‘how will I understand his accent’? But I decided if he talked slowly enough I would understand him.  It was sometimes difficult for me at first and I had to think hard and watch his lips closely and work hard. But I found it soon got easier to understand, and wasn’t such hard work. After the first few lessons I became used to his accent and his style of speaking. Then I began to enjoy talking and practising and improving my English with him. I realised Brian was not judging me and I was able to relax in our sessions together. I became less nervous and took the opportunity to practise and improve my speaking.

Seeing me learn has made my son more interested in learning English and he sometimes asks me to speak English with him. Even my husband says he is proud that I can talk with a native speaker and he wants to improve his English now.
