Your colleagues and yourself can be trained by our native-speaking fully-qualified English tutors at a time and location to suit you. Classes can take place any day, even weekends, and can happen in the morning, afternoon or evening. If the case may be that your home or office is not convenient, there is always the option to take your classes at the office of your teacher. Study books for the lesson are provided.
These English lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival English - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, English culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular English examination.
These English lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn English to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail English, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
2 or more people can benefit studying English together as these English lessons are also offered to groups (Two-to-One English Lesson or Small Group In-Company English Lesson). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster English Lessons can be experienced by up to 12 people.

Markham
Technically a part of the Toronto metropolitan area, Markham still has many of the rights of an independent city. Markham is growing fast too, with 260,000 residents and is expected growth of over 5% per year for the next several years. Considered by many to be the 'Silicon Valley' of Canada, Markham is home to some of the leading names in the tech world, including: Motorola, IBM, Apple and Sun Microsystems. Being one of the few major cities in Canada with such a tech-focus has made Markham a city in demand. Thousands move there every year to join the web-based workforce. Learning a new language in Markham is a great idea, as the Internet economy knows no borders and the global spread of web 2.0 will put those who speak multiple languages in high demand.
