Who we are - WorkinEnglish

Our philosophy

We specialize in teaching practical Business English courses rather than traditional General English, and we adopt a business coaching approach.

This is why our approach is H2H, human to human.

We create individual and group English language courses throughout Italy and beyond, both in presence and online, completely tailored to the needs of our clients.

We believe in a collaborative approach to the realization of our courses, which actively involves the participants themselves.

Our goal is to provide our clients with innovative solutions and to provide the participants with the methods, tools and knowledge to achieve an optimal level of English, gaining a competitive advantage for themselves and for their company.

Our language coaching approach supports the participants in boosting all their communication skills, promoting their confidence in speaking and understanding English in different professional contexts, for truly effective communication.

Our people

A company is, first and foremost, made up of people. Each one unique. Each one special. Just like ours.
