Private 1:1 lessons: It's all about you.
The quickest and most efficient way to improve your English is to have your own private 1:1 trainer. Your course is personalised and tailored to your needs. It's a bit like a complete workout at your fitness centre. It's challenging, fun and sometimes intense, and your English muscles will develop rapidly.
Your trainer will quickly identify your weaknesses and help you build your communication skills.
If you lack confidence and fluency in your English, (you've tried unsuccessfully different courses over the years), private lessons are the best option.
Why private lessons?
In a group lesson you might get to speak for about 10 per cent of the time. In a private lesson you’ll be speaking 60 to 75% of the time. You’ll be surprised how quickly your confidence grows. Our courses focus on practical English – which you can take out of your class and immediately use in your work, life and studies.
We start with an analysis of your level and your language objectives and then develop a programme in partnership with you. We will then select the trainer that best fits your needs. Our team of trainers are all experienced general and professional English teachers. They are skilled in writing, presenting, public-speaking, academic English and IELTS exam preparation, and the Cambridge exam preparations.
We’ve been teaching 1:1 English to bankers, journalists, pharmacists, doctors, IT staff, students, psychologists, traders, midwives, company directors, lawyers, relationship managers, teachers, real estate directors, analysts and editors for more than 15 years.
English for Lunch in Geneva
English for Lunch is one of most appreciated courses in Geneva. It is a lunch/English lesson in a comfortable restaurant, (just like a business/social lunch). The course is ideally suited to professional people with a good level of English who need to develop and exercise their communication skills across a wide range of topics. It’s enjoyable, effective and a smart use of your time.
I would like to tell you how much I appreciated our English for Lunch lessons. I really enjoyed the lunches and I made a lot of progress. I am more comfortable with my English in work and social situations. I never imagined when we started that I would become fluent in English and that I could manage meetings and video conferences in English and follow English language films. It’s fantastic. - Bertrand Pasche, director Technew SA Geneva
English for Lunch is the most enjoyable and effective form of English training I have taken. I find it an excellent method to practice and perform in English and increase my language confidence and fluency. It is a space in my busy life to enjoy the richness and complexity of the English language and exchange ideas and discuss a wide range of subjects. - Laurence de Cecco, CEO, Blossom communications and marketing Geneva
English for Lunch helps me use English with greater fluency and confidence. The courses are tailor-made and carefully oriented to my needs. The feedback from each lunch helps me to correct my mistakes and reinforces new language structures, vocabulary, idioms and expressions. The ‘real-life’ lunch environment is much more interesting and lively than a classroom. - John Howells, director UBS Private Banking Geneva
What do Scots have in common with pirates? Jamie Oliver with the Swiss family Robinson? How are Eddie Izard and Louis C.K related? And Skippy the Kangaroo with The Clockword Orange? N-words with bees? National anthems and Australian morals? Road rage and lyrebirds? These are some of the ingredients we used to compose the menu of the English for Lunch, one and half hour, every week, under Garry’s attentive, curious and supporting supervision. I improve each time and even if I’m still not a chef, hopefully I’ll become at least a decent cook…and not a fat lady. - Daniela Bertossa, psychologist Geneva

Private lessons: UK immersion courses
Time is a luxury. But, if you do have one or two weeks free, or more, the best way to develop your English is to get on a plane and fly to the United Kingdom.
If you are studying in an English-speaking country, you can usually choose from 15 to 30 hours of private lessons per week. We recommend about 25 to 30 hours per week absolute maximum. After a month, you will feel like you’ve completed a language marathon. You’ll have a whole new range of language muscles. You will find your communication skills have jumped to a whole new level.
