The courses can be any day, at any time, and any place where the client has an internet and phone connection.  With mobile communications improving all the time, learning a language couldn't be easier!

Our courses are available for learning English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Swedish and Arabic.  Clients need to be native speakers of English or have at least an intermediate level in English (~ band 5 on the IELTS scale).  If in doubt, we can arrange a short distance test for a small charge.  Our distance courses tend to work best for intermediate and advanced level language learners.

Distance courses are for a minimum of 30 hours; we recommend at least three hours per week.  Courses vary in price according to their length and complexity, and according to the qualifications/experience of the tutor, but a ball-park figure for a 30-hour course would be £800 to £1000 with a qualified native-speaker teacher.  This price would include teaching materials and a brief needs analysis, but not the cost of telephone calls to your tutor nor VAT.  Once our quotation is accepted, we'll send you an order form, an invoice for the course fee plus £30 registration, together with our terms and conditions of trade.  Please note that a 30-hour course is the time spent by the learner; this includes 15 hours tuition by phone plus 15 hours self-study (completion of reading, writing and listening exercises, set and marked by your tutor). 

If time and location permit, we recommend that students and tutors have an initial face-to-face meeting and occasional meetings to review progress.  When possible, these meetings may be arranged at an additional cost of ~£45 per hour (plus travel expenses where applicable).

Why not fill in the on-line registration form now?  There is no obligation and one of our consultants will contact you with a price and suggested starting date.
