You start at your level
Doctor English offers a range of courses from absolute beginners through to proficiency levels. Together with the didactic staff, your consultant will ensure that you are placed at your level of language competence, so no time is wasted and you can profit from the course from the outset. You work towards your personal goal without being dependent on the progress of other students. Your initial objective will be to develop your practical speaking and listening comprehension skills to match your level of theoretic knowledge of the English language. Business English courses start at level A2 of the European language passport. Even if you are starting at beginner level, you will be dedicating your time and effort to speaking English, right from day one!

Individual study programme
Together with the didactic staff, you decide on your personal study plan, on how many lessons and when they take place. You plan your course according to your personal and professional schedules, so you determine the speed and the intensity of your course. Your study rhythm can be modified at any point during your course.

The Doctor English Club
As a Doctor English student you have admission to all the activities of the DOCTOR ENGLISH CLUB. You meet other students in English and practice conversation in English, talking about everything from personal interests to business issues. The club offers you lessons in conversation, grammar and business correspondence, plus video evenings, all in addition to YOUR INDIVIDUAL course. There are also social activities; these may include cinema or theatre visits or school parties.

We guarantee you will reach your goal
Your contract with us is not for a series of single lessons but for your personal goal. We guarantee you will reach it and on the way you can repeat lessons at no extra cost.
