The following section pertains to instruction in English. All senior levels of academic coaching, business English and adult education are directed by an established professor and native British speaker of English with a double doctorate who has teaching experience in Canada, America, Italy, France, Croatia, Slovakia and Austria.
Academic coaching requires an immediate connection between the coach and the individual. Our sessions seek to identify and address potential issues from the outset. To assess whether these sessions are likely to prove beneficial, an introductory meeting of 40 minutes is offered at the reduced rate of €25; subsequent appointments are scheduled for 50 minutes at €40. We pinpoint potential problems during the initial sitting. Our aim is to improve focus and thus academic performance through open and honest engagement. Individual sessions focus on methods of study, approach, orientation and the science of comportment and composition. Improvement should be noticeable within three sessions. Academic coaching is also available for writing assignments at all levels. Expert assistance is provided in the planning, organisation, structural framework and culmination (editing and proofreading) of diploma projects, theses and dissertations.
These sessions are succinct and to the point. Business English requires an altogether different turn of phrase. Progression is assured and the oral course is often completed within five sessions. Rupert brings a wealth of international business experience to the table and addresses potential issues at once. Appointments are scheduled for 50 minutes at €45.
Mastery of grammar and syntax is fundamental to expression in and form of compositional or written English, but the manner in which a person articulates thoughts, facts and opinions when giving a presentation or during conversation leaves a lasting impression. Enunciation and eloquence matter to those who respect the art of communication; confidence in expression should not only be acquired but retained. For this purpose, Thorrida provides a variety of compact adult sessions for immediate improvement in composure and diction. We are concise in the manner and method of instruction: our personable yet professional approach ensures results. Private appointments are scheduled for 50 minutes at €40 in the following categories:
An appreciable accent impedes the ability to communicate effectively. Poor pronounciation often renders an otherwise excellent presentation insufferable. The manner in which language is articulated can and often does make a conspicuous difference between the acceptable and the interminable. Flaws can and should be addressed. Our accent reduction programme gets straight to the root of the problem within the first moments of the intial session; with application and mindfulness, an immediate and, in most cases, indelible improvement will be observed. It should be noted that our sessions are not for the faint of heart: an honest appraisal of personal shortcomings is expected and indeed required.
These sessions are scheduled for professionals who seek to improve upon their communication skills through enhanced expression. More than a mere exercise in synonym usage, the goal of these sessions is to increase the outward composure of the individual through an increased mastery of language. Surety of diction can better prepare a candidate for future advancement and promotion.
Preparatory sessions focus on improving a candidate’s potential to acquire a position or to gain promotion. We focus on each prospective placement by identifying the personal and professional strengths that should be brought to the foreground of the interview. Preparation is tailored to the individual and determined by context. The aspect, manner and disposition of the candidate are assessed relevant to level and expectation. As part of the preparatory process, accent reduction and grammatical accuracy feature prominently in poise development.
