Mini Group Coaching

Master professional communication: small groups allow maximum speaking time for your employees

Small groups, BIG progress

At Mr Jones Language Academy, our mini-groups combine the energy of collaborative learning with the focus of personalised coaching. Limited to 6 participants in face-to-face sessions and 4 online, these small groups guarantee maximum speaking time, peer interaction, and targeted feedback.

 

Every activity is built around real-life situations that employees actually face at work — meetings, presentations, negotiations, interviews — so progress is immediately useful and measurable. Guided by native, bilingual, and experienced trainers, learners gain confidence, fluency, and motivation.

 

And thanks to the Mr Jones Social Club, progress continues outside the classroom in a relaxed, engaging environment.​

Our methods

Deep dive needs analysis:

Each group coaching session is 100% tailor-made. To do this, we will do a deep dive into the English needs of the students. Asking when, where, why and with whom they need to speak English. What problems they have and why. This, added to the online level test and oral analysis will give us a good base to build a tailor-made program.

​

Practice makes perfect:

We will focus on the specific needs that we identify during your deep dive analysis. We will do as much oral practice as we can by putting you in situations that will arise until you are confident in your ability to communicate effectively. 

​

Feedback:

During the speaking practice, our teachers are constantly making notes of mistakes in grammar, pronunciation and syntax and will also give constant feedback on progress by correcting mistakes directly or at the end of the lesson in a 10 minute feedback and correction session. 

​

Extra curricular activities: 

We will help you as much as you can during our coaching sessions but it is also up to you to practice between lessons. To help you with this, we run multiple free activities each month where you can use what you have learnt with us in real-life situations. Activities include the Pub Night, Book Club, Basketball, Picnics, and more. It is the perfect opportunity to speak, network, laugh and lake friends with other English learners. Learn more here.
