"I learned many skills that help me speak more clearly"

English For Travel
Over half of the world can now speak English. More than 80% of all information on the internet is communicated in English. Two thirds of all business transactions in the world are conducted in English. If you plan to travel, then English skills are a desirable tool for you to take with you.
English For Business
If you are a salesperson, a buyer, an executive or a CEO/SEO, then strong English skills are a necessity. Not only should you have a good grasp of conversational English, but you also need to be able to discuss business in the correct terms. Business English courses are a must.
IELTS & TOEFL Test Prep
Students and professionals both require a relatively high score on one of these tests in order to attend university or land that great job in foreign countries. Proper training in the chosen testing category is a must (especially for the speaking portion of the test) since the scores you receive will determine whether or not you get into the university of your choice or get the job that you desire.
