For our corporate clients we offer not only our regular private online English classes, but we also offer semi-private online classes (two students), semi-group classes (three to four students) and group classes (five to eight students)!

| Why
organize an online company
English class? |
|
|
|
No
specific room required to host
the English classes. |
|
No
challenge in coordinating class
time amongst employees. |
|
Classes
are available 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. |
|
Learning
in the comfort of one’s
office or home; employees can
learn from their computer desk,
in a conference room or from
home before or after work! |
|
Employees
simply need a headset with a
built-in microphone ($15) and
a computer with an Internet
connection. For group classes,
employees can share the same
computer or use their own, and
they can even be in different
locations if they wish! |
|
ETO
teachers have webcams, so students
can see their teacher, but webcams
are not required for students. |
|
The
Skype VOIP software is free!
Employees simply need to download
Skype. Skype is
a free VOIP
software program that lets you
make free calls to anyone else
on Skype, anywhere in the world!
Companies also like the
sound quality on Skype, which
is excellent! Talking on Skype
is as clear as a telephone conversation,
and in most cases even better!

live private one-on-one classes
with your own tutor; semi-private

Online classes offer a lot of flexibility!
For example if you wanted to have four employees take an online class at lunchtime, they could each be at their workstation with their headset taking the online English class.
Let’s say you prefer a class at 6 p.m. That’s also OK, but maybe you then want to give your employees the option to stay at work for their class or have them take it from the comfort of their home… or you can have half the group at work and the other half at home.
As you can see, online classes offer a world of flexibility while still maintaining the high efficiency of a lesson in a classroom. Employees can be given access to our scheduling system to make reservations for private one-on-one classes. Group classes are usually set up in advance by a company manager.
Most of our students actually say they prefer online classes to classroom lessons. This is probably because our live online classes are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and because you can learn from your home or office. In addition, the sound quality is excellent and you can see your teacher via his or her webcam…so you have all the benefits of a classroom lesson without the constraints of having to go to school!

Required Equipment :
VoIP (Voice
over Internet Protocol) is
Internet phone service that rings
and has a dial tone just like any
other telephone. However, VoIP
calls are routed over your Internet
connection.
Skype is a favourite in reviews for
its ease of setup and excellent sound quality!
Skype is a free download that allows
you to make no-cost VoIP calls to
anyone with the same software through
your computer. Try a free
trial class and you see for
yourself how clear the sound really
is!
* Please note that for
our students living in North America,
classes can also be conducted over
the phone without any long distance
fees. However, we do recommend taking
a class via Skype since, not only
is it free to use this software, but
on top of the voice capability you
will also have access to text chat
capability, and be able to see your
teacher via his or her webcam. |

Our Online Textbooks have been designed to help students efficiently and rapidly improve their vocabulary, speaking and pronunciation skills.
Each class consists of four (4) parts:
- Vocabulary: during each class, your tutor will teach you 10 to 15 new words related to your conversation topic;
- Conversation: conversation on a daily topic, from your selected study program. In this section, your tutor will ask you questions from your online textbook in order to promote conversation, so you can practice your English speaking skills. Your tutor will be listening carefully to correct any mistakes in your grammar or sentence structure.
- Role Play: role-play the material learned in class with your teacher.
- Pronunciation: exercises for the most commonly mispronounced words and letters, such as L, R, V, TH and others.
Throughout the class, your teacher will be sending corrections and explanations via Skype. You will have plenty of time to practice your English at your own pace and ask questions. Also, at the end of every class your tutor will e-mail you your class report so you can study what was learned in class and keep track of your progress!
