Parent & child programme
London International Study Centre, together with its sister companies Sutherland Education and Sutherland Day Nursery, offers a programme specially tailored to the parent with a child. It is very flexible and is based on personal requirements.
| adult | 'one-to-one' lessons for a parent (general, business or specialist English) |
| child | LISC study programmes (intensive English EAT© or academic courses) for 8-19 year olds or day care at Sutherland Day Nursery for children aged 3 months to 5 years (minimum duration of one month) |
The programme is designed for professionals who, over a short period of time, wish to improve their English or their knowledge of technical vocabulary in their area of specialism, and yet not have to separate from their children. The course focuses on building business language and developing communication skills and strategies in order to help you communicate more confidently in meetings, negotiations, presentations and social situations. Using a variety of effective learning techniques you will develop your ability to liaise with customers and business partners in English. Discussion on current affairs and the development of intercultural awareness is important for working with suppliers and partners of different nationalities.
Whilst you are following our unique programme, your child is able to also benefit from learning the language or simply interacting with children of the same age. You no longer need to leave your child behind; you can spend evenings and weekends with them and both of you can benefit from a wonderful opportunity to learn or improve English within a safe and happy environment.
