Language Trainers UK & Ireland: personalised language courses with native teachers

Language Trainers UK & Ireland is an organisation dedicated to language teaching that has been operating in the UK and Ireland since 2004. Its approach focuses on personalised classes, taught by native and professional teachers, which can be delivered face-to-face at the student's home or office, or online. The company presents itself as a provider of courses for over 100 cities in both countries and also through platforms such as Zoom, Meet or Teams.

The working method starts from the student's needs: they indicate the language they want to learn, the reason, the preferred location and schedule. From there, the company assigns a local native tutor who adapts the classes and materials to the specific level and objectives, avoiding repetition of content already mastered. Student feedback is used to adjust each lesson.

Course offer and formats

The company structures its offer around two main formats: face-to-face courses and online classes. Face-to-face courses are taught at the client's home or office, while online classes allow learning from anywhere. Additionally, there is the possibility of switching from online to face-to-face, with continuity of the teacher and the programme.

The offer includes individual classes and courses for small groups, as well as open group courses for those who want to learn alongside other people from different places. Corporate courses and a free online trial lesson are also offered.

The website states that Language Trainers' teachers teach over 80 languages, and another section mentions that between them they master more than 100 languages. The list of languages a user can select when enrolling includes, among others: Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Balinese, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Berber, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Cambodian (Khmer), Cantonese, Catalan, Chinese, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dari, Dutch, English, Estonian, Persian, Filipino, Finnish, Flemish, French, Frisian, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Guarani, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kashmiri, Korean, Kurdish, Latin, Latvian, Lingala, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maltese, Mandarin, Māori, Marathi, Mongolian, Moroccan Arabic, Navajo, Nepali, Norwegian, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Quechua, Romanian, Romany, Russian, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic, Serbian, Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Sudanese, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Taiwanese, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek, Venda, Vietnamese, Welsh, Wolof, Yiddish, Yoruba and Zulu.

Focus on professional and personal needs

The company organises part of its courses according to the context in which the language will be used. Among the categories it highlights are: business, family and relationships, career, travel and personal use, relocation, real estate, exam preparation and healthcare. This segmentation aims to ensure the teacher focuses the classes and materials on the most appropriate content for each objective.

Language Trainers defines itself as specialising in individual and small group language training, aimed at professionals and people with tight schedules who need the language for work, travel or family reasons.

Free level test

The website offers a free online level test for several languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Japanese, German, Portuguese and Spanish, among others. According to the data shown on the site, 416,573 tests have been taken and the average score is 31 out of 70. This tool serves as preparation for official exams and allows the company to determine the student's starting point in order to assign the appropriate tutor.
