Different cultures/languages can have different ideas about communication - what makes a good (or bad!) speaker, for example. Understanding the best English to use - the ability to adapt to different cultural norms - is what you'll learn with Language Fixers. Learn different communication strategies for different situations and contexts. We incorporate Improve when you want, where you want - contact kevinpoynton@languagefixers.nl for current availability
1-2-1 or groups up to 6 people - online (one hour) or at your office (min 2 hours)
Each session works on your individual business English needs - we'll work on anything and everything you need to improve.
Each session is as unique as your needs are. We're like personal trainers for your communication skills!
Practical results for the real world - it's not like high school, so no boring textbooks - just dynamic, interesting and useful training
Beyond English training - we look more deeply at cultural factors that effect communication so we can teach you the best English to use for the specific people in your working life
Consult us also on the best English for your business (document checking/editing; improving websites, social media posts, adverts etc.)
Each session is dedicated to all your immediate needs - we love to solve multiple ad hoc, unexpected problems as well as addressing longer term issues. We work on improving different skills in each session, including important corrections and errors. To give you some ideas and even more control, you can also use our 4 Skill Menus to design your own course beforehand, but you don't need to!
Ask about developing your speaking skills, such as giving opinions and convincing arguments in meetings, delivering effective presentations, making polite requests, better video-conferencing, effective presentations, and successful negotiating skills and strategies. We'll also address any cultural factors that can influence communication, so you can be the best speaker you can be
You can also focus on improving writing skills, including a thorough review and/or edit of your existing emails or reports; or, how to adjust tone for sensitive emails, structuring paragraphs effectively in reports, improving readability, writing complex sentences and any other issues you may be having
In every session, we'll show you the best words in your working life, as well as expanding and consolidating the range of words you can use - financial, legal, technical vocabulary - whatever you need; as well as tips and tricks for remembering and recalling key words and phrases
We focus on any key errors that could cause major misunderstandings and miscommunication in your life, very often the result of over-translation - for example, the difference between what you do vs. what you're doing; what you did/what you've done etc. Avoid embarrassing mistakes (they're all too common, unfortunately!)
