How we deliver results
Flipped learning
Our expert-designed online courses use a proven ‘flipped classroom’ approach, combining flexible online exercises with live, interactive classes to practise language in real-life situations.
Backed by 90+ years of experience and the latest language research, our method emphasises active participation, engaging learners through task-based activities like role plays and problem solving that reflect real workplace needs.
With tailored, learner-centred lessons, ongoing feedback and reflection, we empower participants to build communicative skills, develop self-study habits and take charge of their learning journey.
Expert teachers
All our teachers are highly qualified and experienced British Council English teaching professionals. They are experienced in working with learners from many different countries and are online teaching specialists.
Teacher training takes place regularly and teaching quality is monitored and evaluated by a team of specialists to ensure we deliver the best learning experience possible.
AI speaking practice for real workplace conversations
Our online courses feature interactive AI-driven speaking practice designed to equip employees for authentic workplace challenges. Following live lessons with expert teachers, staff engage in practical AI speaking activities to reinforce their skills.
At the close of each theme, an AI-powered speaking task delivers insightful feedback on communication effectiveness, vocabulary precision and confident delivery – ideal for preparing for key meetings, presentations and client dialogues.
The AI speaking practice complements teachers rather than replacing them, offering employees extended opportunities to apply what they've learned. Imagine having a supportive colleague available around the clock, ready to help practise crucial conversations.
The feedback provided is detailed and actionable, highlighting whether tone aligns with the context, assessing the professionalism of word choices, and measuring clarity in explaining technical concepts.
