Executive English
One-to-one English for executives and professionals.
Executive English is one-to-one English for executives and professionals, taught online by a tutor matched to your work. Lessons are built around the meetings, negotiations, presentations and documents you actually deal with, at times that fit your time zone. Fees are in USD, wherever you live.
ELT School began in London in 1984 as ELT School of English. As we added academic subjects and admissions support, the name became ELT School.

Before you ask.
Where are the tutors, and can lessons fit my time zone?
Lessons are online, and tutors teach from different time zones （to be confirmed）. You choose your time zone when you book, and your coordinator offers times that fit it.
Can I use real documents from work?
Yes, if you wish. You decide what to share and can remove names or figures first. See confidentiality.
How long until I see a difference?
It depends on your starting point, your goals and how often you take lessons, so we do not promise a timescale. Your coordinator reviews progress with you against the plan.
