Staff spotlight
What’s your teaching background and what do you I have many years of experience as a member of the EF teaching staff, and experience working for the business side of EF too. I enjoy moving between these roles in order to replicate our success among the clients we serve. What are the benefits of the Executive program? It is a process of discovery rather than a set curricula. We begin with a Needs Analysis of language skills, then connect these to the client’s professional work challenges. The client comes away with tangible competencies: better presentations; negotiation strategies; relevant teleconference tactics; more cogent writing skills – all customized to their work responsibilities. Can you describe the atmosphere in the Executive Language Institute? Collegial, professional and inquisitive.

“ The EF Executive program is a process of discovery. We begin with a Needs Analysis of language skills, then connect these to the client’s professional work challenges."
In what ways do you see development in the professionals you teach? The number one factor is their newfound confidence to communicate business issues to a global audience and propose solutions that meet the needs of their company or employer.

A word from our alumni
“ The academic atmosphere of Boston was inspiring, with institutions such as Harvard University and MIT nearby. The Executive course was a wonderful opportunity to engage with managers and other professionals from around the globe and develop more coherent communication skills. Through this experience, I gained the ability to speak English better and I’ll use it to further build my network and expand my business.”
Aurelie Berger, France EF Executive Institute, Cambridge
“ We created key charts to illustrate the budget of a medium ranged company in IT. Covering all areas of budgeting – including spending, borrowing and revenue – we looked at the necessary vocabulary to present those charts in front of a board.”
Pablo Sanchez del Valle, Spain, EF Executive Language Institute Cambridge
Itzel Ortega Hernandez, Mexico EF Executive Institute, Boston
“ I took the EF Executive Premium course. It was perfect for me – I greatly benefited from the combination of private lessons and group classes. I now feel more confident speaking English, writing e-mails and giving presentations. I estimate that my improved language skills have saved me about one or two hours per week.”
“ The teachers at the Executive Language Institute were well prepared, and had a deep knowledge of various topics, which was extremely valuable. Their pedagogical skills were excellent, and the structure of the course enabled me to meet many people from different cultures. Speaking business English leads to a new world of opportunities.”
