Premium Business English Daytime 
Course Customisation

This program is made up of 4 different components which allows ideal personalisation to suit your needs, goals and interests.

Your General English class will be your main class each day, Monday to Thursday. In this class, you will focus on improving your all-round English and everyday communication skills. The pace is intensive but fun, with a lot of oral communication practice.

The right level for you

On your first day at ELC you’ll take a placement test and have a spoken interview so we can place you in the class that’s right for you.

Every single week, your General English classes will cover a range of language skills and develop your grammar and vocabulary as well as speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. The communicative methodology used in classes will enhance your skills acquisition as well as foster your fluency. Personal feedback from your teacher will help you become more accurate week after week.

Your coursebook will feature a range of subjects and associated vocabulary, including science, history or the environment. This range of current topics will keep your lessons interesting and engaging, with every student weighing in in conversations and putting their developing language skills into practice.

The coursebooks and associated digital resources we use in class are based on the latest research into English as it is really used in everyday situations. We think that it is important that classes follow a coursebook to give your program structure.

You will receive a coursebook on your first day, as well as each time you progress to a new level or to a different program. They are yours to keep, so that you can make your own notes and use them as a reference in the future.

Every Monday you will take a short progress test to revise what you have studied the previous week, assess your progress and keep on top of your studies.

Tell us what you need, we will make it happen! 5hrs per week of 1-1 tuition means that you can get all the attention you need to focus on your individual areas of needs or on particular topics.

Private lessons custom designed for you

As part of your application into the course, we will ask you to take our level test and to complete a needs analysis form. From this, we will gain an all-round understanding of your current level of English, skills, needs, goals and preferred learning style. This will help us prepare your first private lessons.

As time goes by and as you progress towards your goals, your private teacher will liaise with you to adjust your 1-1 program towards any areas of weakness or any further topics of interests.

Many prospective students ask us what they can choose to focus on during their 1-1 classes. The answer is: anything you want! Typically, our Premium Business English students ask for more support in areas such as oral presentation skills, report writing or English for negotiation. Some prefer to use this time to focus on their general grammar or pronunciation skills. Some ask to focus on more niche Business English topics that might not be covered in their Business English group lessons during their short stay. Either way, our team will work with you to prepare your fully tailored private tuition and help you reach your goals.

Friday will be your dedicated Business English day! Join up to 5hrs of classes and workshops focused on vocabulary and communication in a range of Business fields.
Topics include Leadership, Brands, Market Research, Ethics, Time Management, Entrepreneurship, Global work cultures and more!
As you study the language used in those fields, you will practice related communication skills, writing skills and soft skills.
Our Business English syllabus runs over 40 weeks, allowing our longer-term students to develop advanced language skills for the international workplace.

Students who do not quite have the minimum required level to join our Business English classes will be able to join other English Extra classes focused on General communication skills until they reach the minimum level required.

Keen to learn even more?

Depending on the schedule for your private lessons, you may be able to join an additional 2 hours per week of conversation class!

ELC is Sydney’s only school offering up to 27 hours per week of face-to-face tuition. Not all students join, but if you would like to make fast progress, joining these 2 hours will help you grow your vocabulary range and your fluency even faster! Topics change every week but include fields like travel, family, science, the environment, sports, etc.

Your class schedule

Your General English group classes and your private lessons will take place Monday to Thursday. Friday will be dedicated to Business English classes and workshops. In addition to these 25hrs/w core classes, you can access an extra 2hrs optional classes each week.

Our Friday Business English & English for work classes and workshops are offered to students whose level of English is high intermediate or above (B1+)
Students who do not quite meet the minimum required upon starting their course will be able to follow their main class in General English and attend optional classes focused on communication skills on Fridays until they are ready to join the Business English classes.

What our students say

In General English class, I truly feel the teachers are highly skilled professionals, each with their own unique teaching style. The lessons are well-balanced, covering grammar and vocabulary in depth while also using games to reinforce what we’ve learned. They also provide valuable extra information, like tips for life in Australia and additional resources for further study.

Making connections with classmates has been a great way to learn both the language and culture, and the excursions were especially effective for this. My teacher’s private lessons have greatly improved my speaking skills and motivation. She adjusts the syllabus and homework based on my progress and preferences, making this the most impactful class I’ve experienced.

Furthermore, the private lessons were incredibly valuable in helping me improve my English skills, and I’m truly thankful for Terence and Matthew’s patience in addressing my questions, even when I asked them multiple times.

The diversity of students at the school played a significant role in making my experience truly enriching, and I must say it was excellent. Students came from various countries, allowing me to learn a lot from them.

My private Business class was great. The teacher was very passionate and kind. He was strict but in a good way that helped me to learn. He corrected every mistake in grammar or pronunciation. His lessons were enlightening because he based it on his own experience as a manager.

I liked the General English class, mostly because the teacher, Jennifer, was very cheerful, nice, and passionate about teaching. She could answer all of my questions and I learned many things. We had a lot of discussion in class which helped me improve.

I feel like I have improved my English a lot because of all the teachers here.
