Acquisition/merger/internationalisation/transformation all challenge businesses to change their reporting language to English. This requires management and staff to broaden their technical vocabulary and change their mindset to performing day to day duties in English. Digital transformation is not only about technology. Our clients communicate confidently and effectively.

Integrity. Belief. Trust. We buy from people. Our message needs to be clearly understood. We build lasting relationships with clients who trust us, understand our message, and believe that we will deliver on our promises.

We have extensive experience in confidential one to one executive coaching: delivering classes, workshops and seminars to Spanish executives. We are also Spanish language students which gives us an abundance of empathy and understanding.

Our name, 3LJ, encapsulates our ethos, and the Life Long Language (3L) Journeys (J) our clients take. Because no two journeys are the same, our learning packages are individually tailored to fit our clients.

Specialities:-
– Acquisition/merger/business transformation/leadership
– Personalised, tailored business English language plans
– Differentiated instruction
– Effective, practical application of the English language
– Role-playing business scenarios for cross-border collaboration to minimise conflict
– Immediate impact focused on results

To ensure that every individual has the most successful learning experience possible we carry out a comprehensive needs assessment.

• We ask a range of questions designed to attain a clear understanding of individual needs, including existing knowledge, capabilities and experience
• We carry out interviews and conversations to discover how our clients learn best so we can tailor their language journey in terms of environment, materials, study style and topics
• We undertake a detailed business assessment to clarify the specific language issues and requirements of the relevant industry
• We discuss how, and in what context, the improved business English will be deployed, ensuring that we are meeting our clients needs
• We evaluate the learning journey throughout, in order to guarantee the most successful experience possible for our current and future clients

This rigorous needs assessment enables us to tailor the perfect language journey for every individual and / or business.

Our expert tutors create our courses according to which level of service our client has chosen (from our range of Gold, Silver and Bronze) ensuring that lessons, exercises and vocabulary are appropriate to the industry and context that our client wants to succeed in.
