English for Life
Not everyone needs English for work
Many clients come to us for personal reasons: to travel with confidence, to communicate more easily with international friends and family, to follow films and current affairs, or simply to refresh English learned years ago.
English for Life focuses on the practical, everyday English required to feel comfortable and articulate in real social situations. You can expect to hesitate less, stop translating into French before speaking, increase your fluency and reduce fear of making mistakes.
Who is this course is for ?
This course suits those who:
- Are preparing for travel and want to manage everyday situations with ease
- Have international friends, family or partners and want to communicate naturally
- Studied English in the past and want a refresher course
- Would like to follow English-language films, books and news with genuine understanding
- Love speaking English and want to further develop and exercise your communication skills
There is no examination - only steady, enjoyable progress - at your comfortable learning pace. Language pleasure with no stress.
Course content
Lessons are built around the English you are likely to use in daily life: holding a natural conversation, recounting an experience, asking for directions, and understanding native speakers at a natural pace. Lessons might include an occasional visit to a museum or gallery or a delicious English for lunch at a restaurant with your trainer.
Your trainer will take your interests and circumstances into account, adapting the course accordingly — whether preparing you for a trip or focusing on topics relevant to your personal or social life.
A supportive environment
We know that some adults are often self-conscious about speaking a foreign language. Our trainers are experienced, patient and genuinely engaged in helping each client progress at their own pace.
Course format
English for Life is available as private one-to-one tuition, for a fully tailored programme, or in small groups, for a more conversational dynamic. Lessons can be scheduled to suit your availability, in our Geneva centre or online, weekly or intensively.
General English exams
If you want a programme with an exam focus, we recommend the Cambridge international exams – read more here.
