Our Philosophy
Topic-related. Engaging. Active. These three principles form the foundation of our training approach since the founding of English, Inc.
We firmly believe that language training is most successful when it directly addresses the professional needs of the participants. Therefore, we develop all our programs in close coordination with the specific goals of our customers.
Language is learned by speaking - that's why active communication and practical application are at the center of all our training. We create a supportive atmosphere where all participants feel comfortable and are motivated to improve their English skills.
