Corporate Education: Business Helping Business
ESL

Many companies have blended staffs. This means you may find a number of foreign employees on your payroll. In order to assist their personal growth and the growth of your business as a whole, you may want to consider special training and/or instruction for these individuals. Employees will feel much more confident and motivated, and have greater ability to promote themselves and your company, if they have a good mastery of the written and spoken English language. Students whose families have relocated from their native countries for employment purposes could also benefit from additional ESL instruction, 1-on-1. Enter Back to Basics .

We are currently providing ESL instruction, English as a Second Language, to emplyees of several companies in the surrounging area. Owners and supervisors tell us that it has made a great difference for their workers. Self-esteem has increased and morale & performance have improved as well.

Districts also hire our services to help foreign students who attend their schools. The children are taught conversation and written language in addition to cultural orientation.

If you or someone you know owns or runs a business and can benefit from this invaluable training, contact Back to Basics. We can help. View our video by clicking the link below to find out more about how we are a business helping business!

  • Student Showcase...Michael L.

    Michael L. is our showcase student this month. Michael is a high school junior and has been a private school student with Back to Basics over several years. He says he likes Back to Basics because the work is different here than in "regular school." Having classes with the instructors 1-on-1 means the schoolwork is meant just for him. Michael likes the environment here as well. It's quiet and geared toward studying.

    When he's not in school or busy with homework, Michael likes to swim and build things. He especially like models of buildings. Michael says he would recommend Back to Basics to anyone considering a different kind of school. In his own words, "It has changed my life."
