Greek Courses for Business in DoncasterPlease click a title below for further information: Designed and customised for the individual student’s needs, SIMON & SIMON’s Greek courses, taught by a team of qualified native Greek speakers who average 15 years of experience, have already benefited professionals and non-professionals across the UK. Courses cater for all levels of experience.
The feedback on our Greek tutors that we receive from our clients is consistently excellent. Prior to the start of your Greek course, you will be sent a profile on your specific Greek teacher’s experience and background. 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 Greek course in Doncaster, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Greek. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Greek to communicate in social and business settings. Both 1:1 and group formats are available for our Greek language courses. While most of our clients offer 1:1 Greek training, the group format can offer great value for money. If you want groups to be successful, the members must commit to the weekly meetings and we recommend keeping the number of participants below 7.
Progress is faster for those who learn Greek in Doncaster on a 1:1 basis as the lessons are individually tailored for their particular needs, strengths and weaknesses. Greek Course ManagementEvery SIMON & SIMON Greek language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual.
At the start of your Greek 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. SIMON & SIMON has arranged Greek language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Greek language course for you wherever you are - in almost any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond.
The vast majority of our Greek lessons take place at our clients' offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Greek lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient.
We can also arrange full-time residential Greek language courses for you - just contact our office for information on available destinations. Doncaster Greek Course SchedulesOur Greek language courses in Doncaster go on all year. Some of our students attend more than one 90-minute weekly session if work circumstances allow, and most will attend at least one per week.
Weekend Courses in Greek can be arranged on request. Our Greek courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday.
30 hour per week intensive Greek courses can be held on clients’ premises or in residential centres in the UK or abroad. These courses take 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday. We will tailor your Greek language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Greek language course we will assess your goals and level of Greek experience.
Your desire to learn Greek may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Greek to discuss business.
You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Greek in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills.
No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Greek trainers experience and that your Greek language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met. Greek Language Examination CoursesOur students’ pass rate for Greek examinations is at 95%, and we are happy to help with the preparations for any such examination. Our high pass rate shows the value of working with Greek teachers in Doncaster who have a higher level of experience than average.
SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Greek examinations as well as administering the examination and issuing the results. 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.

SIMON & SIMON International Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Greek Courses Doncaster Greek an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, is the language of the Greeks. Native to the southern Balkans, it has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning 34 centuries of written records. Its writing system has been the Greek alphabet for the majority of its history; other systems, such as Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary, were previously used. The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script, and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, and many other writing systems. Doncaster is a town in South Yorkshire, England, and the principal settlement of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. The town is about 20 miles (32 km) from Sheffield and is popularly referred to as "Donny". Doncaster has an international airport, and in recent years its centre has undergone regeneration including the development of an Education City campus, currently the largest education investment of its kind in the UK. Doncaster has also recently extended the Frenchgate Centre, a shopping centre and transport interchange.
According to the 2001 census, the urban sub-area of Doncaster had a population of 67,977. Together with Bentley and Armthorpe, it forms an urban area with a population of 127,851. The wider metropolitan borough has a population of around 286,866. In 2010, Doncaster was named the UK's ninth "most musical" city by PRS for Music.
Doncaster is located at 53°31′N 1°8′W ― the site of a Roman fort which was built in the 1st century AD at the site of a crossing across the River Don. The Roman empirical command of Ninius called this fort "Caer Daun". Later the commands of Antoninus Pius and Notitia Dignitatum called this fort Danum, from which the town derives the Don part of its name; caster a Saxon word corrupted from the Latin original Castra, meaning a military camp. Doncaster was home to the Roman Crispinian horse garrison. The cavalry took its name from Crispus, son of Constantine the Great.
