English Courses for Business in Brighton

Many professionals in companies across the UK, as well as private individuals, have benefited from an English Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker English teachers, and with an average of 15 years' experience they will ensure you benefit from a course designed specifically around your needs, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner with more specialised requirements. We consistently receive excellent feedback on our English tutors from our clients, and we send our students a profile on their English tutor prior to their English lessons commencing, with information on the tutor's background and experience.

New teaching approaches have revolutionised how modern language training is now approached. This training, with more fun and a more worthwhile experience means that it’s a far cry from what you may remember of studying languages in school. When you start a English course in Brighton, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in English. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use English to communicate in social and business settings.

English courses from us can be run for groups or individuals. While many of our clients offer their employees English courses on a 1:1 basis, group sessions can be excellent value. Group sessions do require planning and commitment from the participants and we recommend that no more than 6 people participate in a group. As 1:1 lessons can be tailored to an individual’s needs, strengths and weaknesses, learning English in Brighton on a 1:1 basis will give quicker progress.

English Course Management

Every SIMON & SIMON English language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual. At the start of your English language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources.

English language courses have been run by SIMON & SIMON in many locations. Our global network of language trainers means that any major city in the UK Europe, and beyond can hold your English language course. We can arrange your English language lessons for your own home, but many of our clients like to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. Residential full-time English language courses are also available. Our office can discuss available locations with you.

Brighton English Course Schedules

The English language courses in Brighton that we run go on through the year. Each week, most of our students will attend at least one of our 90-minute lessons, but many will do more. We can easily arrange Weekend Courses for you. English courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 8pm. Intensive English language courses can be arranged in residential centres abroad or in the UK, or on clients’ premises for 30 hours per week, 6 hours a day Monday to Friday.

Before you start your English language course we will assess your level of English and speak to you about your aims so that your English language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to English before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in English when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use English in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced English language trainers will tailor your English course so that your goals can be quickly met.

English Language Examination Courses

We are happy to help in your preparation for any English examinations. Our students have a 95% pass rate and we think that their success shows the value of our policy of working with above-average experienced English teachers in Brighton. Issuing of results certificates, registration for English examinations and administration of such exams is also provided by SIMON & SIMON.

The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.

Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

English is a West Germanic language that arose in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England and spread into what was to become south-east Scotland under the influence of the Anglian medieval kingdom of Northumbria. Following the economic, political, military, scientific, cultural, and colonial influence of Great Britain and the United Kingdom from the 18th century, via the British Empire, and of the United States since the mid-20th century, it has been widely dispersed around the world, become the leading language of international discourse, and has acquired use as lingua franca in many regions. It is widely learned as a second language and used as an official language of the European Union and many Commonwealth countries, as well as in many world organizations. It is the third most natively spoken language in the world, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.

Brighton is the major part of the city of Brighton and Hove (formed from the previous towns of Brighton, Hove, Portslade and several other villages) in East Sussex on the south coast of Great Britain. For administrative purposes, Brighton and Hove is not part of the non-metropolitan county of East Sussex, but remains part of the ceremonial county of East Sussex, within the historic County of Sussex. The ancient settlement of Brighthelmstone dates from before Domesday Book (1086), but it emerged as a health resort featuring sea bathing during the 18th century and became a destination for day-trippers from London after the arrival of the railway in 1841. Brighton experienced rapid population growth, reaching a peak of over 160,000 by 1961. Modern Brighton forms part of the Brighton/Worthing/Littlehampton conurbation stretching along the coast, with a population of around 480,000. Brighton has long been renowned throughout the UK and Europe as gay-friendly, and is home to a large LGBT community. Eight million tourists a year visit Brighton. The city has a substantial business conference industry regularly hosting the Liberal Democrats, Labour Party, Conservative Party and Trade Union annual conferences. Brighton has two universities and a medical school.
