Top-notch educational and teaching expertise

The devoted team of coordinators and tutors at The Academy has implemented teaching and educational solutions to several renowned companies in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, has deployed training and development programs and attended seminars and conferences such as: BRAZ-TESOL, TESOL and IATEFL.

In-company language training expertise

Apart from regular courses and intensive programs, The Academy has developed consistent language training solutions for medium-sized and large corporations for over 15 years.

Coaching vs. teaching

We employ the term "language coaching" because this concept goes beyond the traditional concept of "teaching a language".

"Teaching a language" focuses on "language" itself as a cultural feature to learn. On the other hand, "language coaching" seeks to develop the ability to use, master and play with language for communication, professional or personal purposes.

By offering linguistic coaching solutions, The Academy goes beyond mere language teaching because its goal is to guide students to master the pragmatics of the language, while focusing on concrete and very short-term purposes, such as: acquiring language basics to escort a foreign visitor at their company, negotiating a contract and holding presentations abroad.

In-company training

Language training thinks language as a tool. Therefore, it is necessary to assess how clients want to use this "instrument" first and then implement a program that is adequate and suitable.

It is important to keep in mind that each company is unique, has its own features, needs and corporate cultures, which add up to the unique features of its employees.

A first approach is to prepare a detailed profile of the company, getting acquainted with its background, structure, goals, strategies and plans in the short-, medium- and long-run.

The next step is to analyze the goals and expectations from the company and employees, then design a tailor-made program. We keep track of the whole deployment process to ensure that goals are achieved and also to restructure and enhance our training solutions if needed.

Individually-tailored programs

One-on-one linguistic coaching sessions allow a more student-oriented, humane approach that takes into account student's needs, interests and learning skills. In addition, we provided a flexible course load that can be adjusted to each student's needs, making it truly efficient.

This is the reason why it is key that individually-tailored programs be carefully supervised and taught by experienced instructors who are well versed in culture and teaching techniques. At the same time, it is essential to keep track of how the program develops and rely on tight collaboration between clients, coordinators and instructors to ensure the provision of efficient, effective and top-quality training programs.

In addition to all teaching, linguistic and cultural skills regularly demanded of instructors and coordinators, one-on-one programs for business executives require that our teachers excel in the specific jargon that interests the student and have teaching abilities to conduct classes that are effective and yet motivating, even though the specifics of the topic require instructors to study more technical and in-depth materials.
