English is an essential tool.  
A Channel course is a cost effective way to 
maximise your skills in the modern business world

Total Immersion 

Living in the home of a teacher, you practise English AT ALL TIMES, not just during lessons.  Our teachers are selected for their teaching ability, their business background and wide interests. You set your own pace, making the maximum progress in the minimum period of time.  The course content is tailor-made to meet your needs, not those of a group.  None of your time in England is wasted.

Course Options – The right choice for you

Channel offers complete flexibility.  You choose the hours, type of accommodation and dates to meet your needs. 

One or Two Teachers?

English for Business
Your choice of course depends on two main factors – the level of intensity and the degree of specialisation.  Our Business Formula offers a general business course with one teacher for 15, 20 or 25 hours of lessons.  

Professional Plus
If you need maximum intensity to accelerate your progress, choose our Two Teacher Formula on a 25 or 30 hour Professional Course.  This offers you the services of your host teacher in the morning and a second  teacher who visits the home in the afternoons to help you with your more specialised business needs. 

This option is UNIQUE to Channel and offers the very best in Home Tuition.
