Personal training

A personal trainer, in all walks of life, motivates their student by setting goals and providing feedback. In the same way, your one-to-one tutors at St Clare’s will help you to make the maximum English language progress in the shortest possible time.

Focus on your specific language needs

Our one-to-one lessons allow you to focus directly on your personal English language development in a short space of time. Over the past year, for example, we have built the confidence and improved the performance of individuals from across the world and supported their professional, academic, and personal language needs as follows:

1. Professional language — for business, finance, education, medicine, law

  • the language and strategies for good presentations and negotiations
  • cross-cultural sensitivity and awareness
  • drafting and re-drafting articles for professional journals

Recent trainees: a senior academic (the Netherlands), CEO media company (South Korea), legal adviser (Brazil)

2. Academic language — for students, undergraduates and post-graduates

  • note-taking and report writing skills
  • presentations for seminars
  • SATs: academic reasoning training
  • linguistic support for dissertations

Recent trainees: postgraduate student (United Arab Emirates), pre-Masters student (China)

3. Personal language — for confidence, examinations, travel, and leisure

  • voice training: projection, intonation and stress, accent reduction
  • support for “false beginners” who have a mismatch of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills
  • tips and practice for specific examinations — IELTS, Cambridge Exams, Business English Certificates (BEC)

Recent trainees: accountant (Qatar), retired businessman (Japan), fashion buyer (South Korea), property developer (Saudi Arabia), gap year student (Germany
The course path involves a number of critical stages supported by a tutor from our experienced team:

  • Self-evaluation (your needs and wants)

  • Self-study (preparation and follow-up tasks)
  • Feedback (continuous learning ideas)
