Experience has shown us that some clients need to work on a skill in English (usually related to communication) but they are not sure whether they need coaching, training or some aspect of English Language teaching.
In many cases, these people need a little of all three and the good news is that we can provide just the right amount of skills training, coaching or language teaching that they need.
We love to be creative, flexible and adaptable!
