How Does Our Program Work?

B‑Speak! combines a customized online curriculum (up-to-date articles and videos, “soft” skills exercises) with individual live video chat lessons tailored to your unique needs and challenges – from pronunciation and intonation to interview skills and writing.

Our lesson modules focus on building the key skills you require — i.e. describing, defining, choosing, solving, defending and challenging — while time with the instructor is dedicated to practicing these skills in ways that will mimic the classroom, case study, presentation or interview experience in a challenging, yet supportive way.
