We help students build listening and speaking skills, increase their confidence using the language and set them up for success by teaching important aspects of US culture.

Introductory English Classes
Our introductory English Classes focus on job-related tasks, such as:
- Talking about time and schedules
- Giving and following instructions
- Greeting customers
- Customer service
- Calling in sick
- Safety
- Reporting repairs, accidents and emergencies
As a result of these classes, employees are better able to communicate with customers, supervisors and co-workers from other backgrounds.
Advanced English Classes
Maybe you have an employee who’s been with you for years and whom you’d love to promote – but he or she still lacks the reading and writing skills necessary to successfully complete your management training program.

No matter what the language gaps are, we can address them – and help your employees gain the skills and confidence they need to communicate effectively.
