What will you study?
Business French students will typically study a broad overview of business-related topics alongside their chosen specialism(s).
Classes will also focus on terminology used in typical business scenarios including emails, presentations, video conferences, projects and trips. Students will learn how to clearly communicate in a variety of professional and social settings as well as confidently exchange information in different contexts and successfully engage with professional counterparts.
Lesson content can include the following: how to communicate with contacts, clients, suppliers and colleagues abroad, understanding business correspondence, delivering presentations and conferences, expressing points of view, setting up partner offices, discussing current affairs, finding employment and adapting to Hispanic business cultures and trends.
For Beginner’s students, classes will start with the basics and a broad overview of everyday topics and conversations before learning your specialist area(s). Classes will progressively be conducted in French so that you’re fully immersed in the language and reach fluency quicker.
We’ll use a textbook in class as this provides structure and direction to your learning but language learning is very interactive so we’ll supplement that with lots of immersive material such as listening exercises, podcasts, videos, recommendations for vocab apps and so forth.
French for employment
Business French classes are also aimed at students wishing to gain employment in a French-speaking country or within UK organisations which have French-speaking offices, divisions, suppliers or clients.

Classes place emphasis on specific sector-related terminology and scenarios that will help students communicate in a variety of professional settings in their chosen career or industry.
We can also help students with:
- Writing CVs, covering letters, applications and LinkedIn profiles tailored to their profession or industry
- Practising interview techniques
- Sourcing job opportunities
- Learning how to promote themselves professionally
- Preparing for employment in their chosen country, organisation or industry.

HAPPY STUDENTS
Drew was superb. In summary, a fantastic teacher with fantastic results.
[They have] been brilliant, quickly putting together a course absolutely tailored to my needs. I would recommend [them] without hesitation to anyone whether beginner or advance level!
Drew in my experience is a fantastic teacher. I needed to improve my English quickly due to my new job in a UK company and Drew is helping me a lot. Her method is very effective, she combines both business exercises and intelligent conversation about business situations. In a shot time, I noticed my English was more fluent.
I have to say Drew is at a totally different level to any other tutor I have had. I have made great progress with her, as she is doing less textbook work and more interactive conversation which suits me down to the ground.
The Spanish classes have been really helpful for my general work communication and my meetings in Spain. I still have a way to go but my confidence is improving, gracias!
Feedback has been fantastic and everyone loves Lucía!
