Business English Combination Course London

Our Business English Combination course in London combines the benefits of the morning Standard group course with a personalised one-to-one programme in the afternoon. The one-to-one lessons are designed to meet the specific needs and requirements of the student and will typically focus on specific areas of interest to the student as well as on aspects of the student's English that are in need of special attention.

At the London school you can study either 5 (Combo 5), 10 (Combo 10) or 15 (Combo 15) lessons of one-to-one each week in the afternoon depending on what you feel you need.
