Fluent on paper. Quiet in the meeting.
Business English lessons you speak, with Joyce, a tutor who corrects you as you go, remembers what you said and plans each lesson around your work.
Courses teach English. Meetings ask you to speak it.
Years of grammar, and then the meeting moves faster than you can build the sentence.
What’s missing is speaking time, with someone who notices what you said and remembers it next time.
Meet Joyce
“Hello. I’m Joyce, I’ll be your tutor. Tell me about your work.”Joyce, at the start of lesson one
Your first lesson is about your work, so every lesson after it is too.
Joyce tells you what she heard, corrects you in the moment and never praises without a reason.
She keeps notes, so you don’t start over
Your goals, the situations that go wrong, the phrases you’ve picked up and the mistakes that keep coming back are all written down, and you can read them. Each lesson picks up where the last one left off.
60+ lessons, built around real work
The lessons climb from being understood to persuading a room. After each one, Joyce talks you through her notes: what you did, what she noticed, what you corrected and what comes next.
