English Tutoring in Oeiras

About our service in Oeiras

Meetings are the most requested scenario and the easiest to train, because they are highly patterned. Interrupting politely, disagreeing without causing offence, asking for repetition, summarising what has been said, proposing a next step and closing a point all have set phrases, and whoever has them available participates while everyone else waits until afterwards to send an email. We drill each move separately and then run full simulations, with the tutor introducing the interruptions and digressions that make the exercise realistic. The gain in confidence is usually fast and highly visible to colleagues, because the first successful intervention in a real meeting changes how someone is seen in the team. Presentations are the second request, and the most feared of the three. The problem is normally structure and pace rather than language: too much on each slide, no signposting between sections, and no time budgeted for questions, which is the part that worries people most. We work on the architecture of the talk, the transition phrases that keep an audience oriented, and above all the question session, including short answers, difficult questions and the perfectly respectable option of not knowing something, which has its own set of phrases and is far less damaging than people fear. Written correspondence is the third and the one that shows up every day. Register, subject lines, a clear request, deadlines and a proper closing are simple conventions that many people were never taught, and they decide whether a message gets answered or ignored. We correct real messages with the confidential parts removed and build reusable templates from them, which saves time every week afterwards. After a month or so, writing stops consuming half the morning and becomes something closer to a routine task. We work Monday to Saturday, 9am to 8pm, and we are closed on Sunday.
