Are you familiar with terms like ‘stock exchange’, ‘bookkeeping’, ‘yield’ or ‘taxation’? Would you feel comfortable in a meeting with financiers or economists communicating in English? Do you know how to read and interpret an annual report or a balance sheet? Do you consider the Financial Times, Yahoo! Finance, The Economist or Reuters Business unintelligible?

Because of the global economy and the open relationships people and companies have around the world, knowledge of English as the de facto language is not just an option nowadays, but a necessity. To truly succeed in this field internationally, the ability to cope with its specific terminology is vital.
We’re not going to teach you any more about economics or finance than you already know, but we are going to teach you to use your knowledge in a multinational environment. You’ll see a variety of financial information in English to learn from, as well as achieving spoken and written fluency for this professional context.

School description

We’re an online language school. We want to educate young people so that they can reach their goals and discover new cultures from all over the world.

We believe in eliminating barriers and making learning simple.

You’ll have access to all our teaching material on our virtual campus, and will be able to join live classes with your teacher via videoconference.

You’ll be part of a small group with personalised attention. Your teacher will monitor your progress and suggest changing groups if necessary. They’ll also give you extra material to improve in the areas you need to work on.

We want you to have as much class time as possible to concentrate on your communication skills, so most reading and writing tasks will be set for homework.

You’ll be completely immersed in the target language, as your teacher will be a native speaker and your classmates will be from different parts of the world.
