Turkish Courses for Business in Southampton

SIMON & SIMON’s team of qualified native Turkish speaking teachers average 15 years of experience. Professionals and private individuals from all over the UK have benefited from SIMON & SIMON’s Turkish language courses, all of which are tailor-made to reflect each student's level of experience. We consistently receive outstanding feedback from our clients about our Turkish tutors. Each student is sent a specific profile on the experience and background of their Turkish tutor before they start their course of lessons.

Maybe your only knowledge of studying languages is what you remember from school. Modern language teaching has recently changed to be much more entertaining and rewarding. Your Turkish lessons in Southampton will be carried out almost completely in Turkish. This is the Communicative Approach and by this method you will notice progress from the initial lesson. You will soon feel confident and able to use Turkish to communicate in various business and social situations.

Our Turkish language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Turkish training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful. Those learning Turkish in at Southampton on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular strengths and weaknesses.

Turkish Course Management

SIMON & SIMON’s Turkish language courses all have a specific Account Manager who oversee the course. Each of these managers is highly experienced and multi-lingual. At the start of your Turkish course, you will receive a profile on your trainer, course materials and a Course Plan. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will send you our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, which contains a wonderful prize draw as well as weblinks to valuable language learning resources.

We have a global network of language trainers so our Turkish language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Turkish language courses for clients in many diverse locations. Turkish language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel. For a list of the locations of the full-time residential Turkish language courses that we offer, contact our office.

Southampton Turkish Course Schedules

We run Turkish language courses in Southampton all year. Most of our students participate in no less than one 90-minute lesson per week, but many students will participate in more if work commitments allow. Weekend Courses can be facilitated, and our Turkish weekday courses run from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 8pm. Intensive Turkish language courses are also available and can be run at the client’s premises or a residential centre in the UK or overseas. These courses take place over 6 hours a day, Monday through Friday, for 30 hours per week.

Your Turkish language course’s content will be tailored to your experience and goals. Prior to the course, we will assess your Turkish language level and speak to you comprehensively about the areas and subjects you are interested in. Students may be complete novices who need everyday Turkish conversational skills or have more proficiency in Turkish and wish to be able to discuss various business topics such as banking or finance more fluently. Students may desire to bolster their Turkish for negotiations and meetings or focus on gaining better listening, pronunciation and comprehension skills. No matter what your needs, you can be confident that our very experienced Turkish language trainers will work with you on a Turkish language course that is tailored for you so that you quickly meet your goals.

Turkish Language Examination Courses

Turkish examination preparation for business or other examinations can also be assisted with. Our students boast a 95% rate of passing such examinations, proving the value of our policy of Turkish teachers in Southampton with experience above the average. SIMON & SIMON also organises registration and administration of Turkish examinations as well as issuing results certificates as a part of our service.

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.
