English for Special Purposes (Hospitality, Professional Sport, Education etc.)
At English Fit, your personal, professional and English language GOALS are important to us. For example, HOSPITALITY. We visit your environment and discuss your hotel or restaurant’s needs and goals. We then write and deliver language programs to improve your staff’s English, understanding of other cultures, and functions within the context of your business. Our preference is to conduct the classes on your premises in the environment in which the language is used. We use this same approach for all professions.
