Success Stories

USA

Case study 1 - A language lesson in preparation for a stay abroad.

Two commanders in the US Salvation Army booked an Arabic lesson with us for themselves and their families in preparation for an upcoming mission in the Middle East, in order to be introduced to the language in only two weeks. They were highly motivated and booked a very intensive lesson, which provided them with a basic grasp of the language within two weeks, right in time for their departure to the Middle East.

Case study 2 - Private language tuition as an opportunity to improve your business relationships.

A Human Resources Manager whose mother tongue is German needed to gain fluency in speaking English, as well as learn new vocabulary to improve his relationship with his co-workers. He found his native speaker teacher to be excellent, preparing the language lessons according to his needs and expectations. The fact that the teacher was also flexible with the time schedule meant that our client enjoyed his classes and was able to take great advantage of them.

Case study 3 - A language lesson designed to improve business relationships in China.

We provided Mandarin Chinese lessons to a manager of a large consulting company. This company is focused primarily on horizontal drilling programs, from planning phase to on-site supervision. The student was extremely satisfied with the classes taken, as he gained fluency in Mandarin and learned vocabulary related to the specific industry. This helped him to be more confident when communicating with businessmen and women in China. He was also very happy with the fact that the lesson was designed according to his expectations, and the teacher was very responsible, punctual and, extremely committed to the purpose of the lesson.

Case study 4 - An English lesson as an opportunity to communicate with colleagues and improve your everyday work.

One of our clients from abroad was working for an American company and was living in American and working with American colleagues every day, and decided to improve her English for work as well as for her daily life. At that point she took one of our intensive one-to-one English lessons, and very much enjoyed her lesson with her native teacher. She got exactly what she wanted, and made a huge improvement in her English skills; now able to communicate extremely effectively in English.

Case study 5 - More than tailor-made language training for an individual.

A Rev Dr from Toronto had to improve his spoken German for business reasons, but he also had a German article which he had translated some time ago. He booked a language lesson with some translational parts as well and included his translated article in the language classes. During the lesson, he broadened his vocabulary as well as his familiarity with German idioms. He also went over the accuracy of his translated article with his tutor as part of the lesson, and learned from his errors in this project to become an adequate translator of German. Meanwhile, the client booked several more lessons with us.
