Element

Weekly 1-hour fluency sessions with an experienced business English coach.

How Does It Practically Work?

When scheduling a lesson, your team will be able to choose which language category they’d like to work on during the lesson: grammar, vocabulary, accent and pronunciation, fluency, professional writing, or presentation delivery.

Through our scheduling platform, your team will be able to book their lessons with any one of our coaches.
They can either book all of their lessons with the same coach or diversify.

You'll be able to choose how many hours a month each team member will get.

We send out reminder emails every week to make sure that lessons are being booked and that your team takes advantage of this opportunity. We also send you a weekly report to keep you in the loop.

Prior to starting the course, we will ask each team member to take a level assessment test to help them determine which language areas they should mostly focus on throughout the course.

Grammar icon

Grammar

Uptick’s grammar workshops focus on the most prominent grammar concepts, such as parts of speech, prepositions, tenses, and conditionals, and they include both theory and practice. While we're well aware of the fact that grammar can be painful, correct grammar is key to speaking English fluently and confidently, and we promise to make it as painless as possible for your employees. We also promise to have them leave each workshop feeling empowered to speak more effectively and avoid making the same mistakes over and over again.

Vocabulary icon

Vocabulary

Having a rich vocabulary is one of the key things that will allow your employees to become expressive English speakers. As part of these workshops, we help students do two things: First, we help them activate their passive vocabulary, which is comprised of words that they easily recognize and understand, but aren’t able to effortlessly retrieve when writing or speaking. Second, we help them enrich their vocabulary with new words, idioms, phrasal verbs, buzzwords, and slang words that can make their language more dynamic, colorful, and interesting.

Accent and Pronunciation icon

Accent and Pronunciation

Each of the program’s American accent workshops will help familiarize your employees with new sounds and speech habits. A typical workshop involves work on tongue positioning when speaking, mouth muscles, and the ability to recognize and copy different sounds. We will teach them how to round their lips, drop their jaw, curl their tongue, and stick it out softly. In other words, we’ll teach them how to flex their mouth muscles in a way that they’re not used to, and by doing so, improve their accent and speaking clarity.

Fluency icon

Fluency

While the grammar, vocabulary, and accent workshops focus on developing technical skills and working with your employees to establish the tools to sound and feel more natural in English, the fluency workshops are built as a framework for effectively practicing and developing conversational skills. In these fluency workshops, your employees will immerse themselves in real-life relevant and dynamic conversations where they will get to put their skills into practice. Without conversational practice and the right feedback, it’s difficult to elevate ourselves to the level of native English fluency we hope to achieve.

Professional Writing icon

Professional Writing

Whether it be email, a social media post, an article, or some other document, crafting professional texts in English is vital in business. We know you know this, and have designed our writing workshops to give your employees the necessary knowledge and skills to decide what and what not to include in their writing, how to make intelligent format and style choices for different workplace situations, and more. Your employees will finish these workshops as confident, efficient writers, proficent at producing quality texts.

Presentations icon

Presentations

You’re trying to convey your ideas to your colleagues and clients, but can’t conjure up the right words, or are too nervous to express them with any clarity. We’ve all been there and have experienced the frustration. For employers who want and need to hear what their employees have to say, it can be even worse. In Uptick’s presentation workshops, your employees will learn how to design and build captivating presentations, how to express their ideas clearly and confidently, and how to engage audiences by presenting well‐organized, easily understandable materials.

Cross-Cultural Communication icon

Cross-Cultural Communication

Understanding American culture is key to mastering American English. It gives us the necessary context to participate in conversations on topics relevant to our counterparties, it helps us identify and comprehend “hidden messages” (AKA subtexts) and body language, etc. As part of these workshops, your team will learn how to soften their language in situations requiring cultural sensitivity and to better relate to others with different backgrounds.

Interview Preparation icon

Interview Preparation

As part of the interview preparation workshops, we’ll simulate different types of interviews so that your team will learn how to coherently deliver complex ideas about your company, the market, their careers, choices, challenges, and accomplishments. Being hosted on a podcast, speaking with potential investors, or interviewing for a promotion – whatever the interview scenario, this workshop will make sure your employees are at the top of their game, ready to respond in English to whatever is thrown their way.
Upon request, we can also include simulating how to conduct interviews.
