Nosso Curso de Inglês

The global market and specifically Brasil is currently in economic transition, a tightening of the belts if you will. Some have coined the term, “crisis” while other more optimistic entrepreneurs label this defining moment in global economics as an ”opportunity”. The entrepreneur with luck on his side is not praying to chance or karma, his luck is defined by opportunity met with prior preparation.
An ethos then that we adopt in C&K English courses is one that tomorrow`s leader should hold to heart in every facet of their life:
Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance
So when our market finalises it`s metamorphosis, what is it that defines the lucky entrepreneur who managed to position himself at the forefront of his competitors? What those in his wake define as him being lucky, he will simply state that it was he being prepared. And he will communicate this message to the world, in English.
We at C&K English offer a range of services individually sculptured to mirror the unique needs and ideals of each of our clientele. What does this mean to our clientele? Well, gone are the days of monotonous classroom environments where learning becomes a chore and unproductive. We indiviualise our courses which means we find out everything about our clientele and extend our resources, knowledge and creative drive to ensure the course is entirely relevant to what they experience in their daily lives, what they will need when they travel and in the end, what will be most productive for their investment.
And this is the key word, investment. The current market trend is making us all more aware of where we are investing our time and money, and what sort of return we will receive. We understand our clientele`s needs and financial restraints. For this we provide a course structure that (with full participation from the client) will be rewarding and productive. We guarantee results as long as the client guarantees their undivided participation and motivation.
We at C&K English believe that there are no limits to no limit people. This message is clear for our company and our clients. Our clientele expects us to be nothing short of true professionals and we too expect this from our clientele in their devotion to bettering their capacity to communicate proficiently and fluently in the English tongue. Or to put it in the words of one of our current clients, “English classes should be treated as business appointments and not as an extra activity that be cancelled at the last moment. English is a vital tool in the Brasilian market right now and anyone who believes otherwise is a fool”
We offer courses from children through to adults. The course structure is broken up into 5 main categories: Social Language, Business, TOEFL/IELTS Preparation, Conversation, Fluency & Grammar Builder. Our resource base is not limited. We don`t believe there is one perfect methodology. Instead we study new methodologies and incorporate them into our classes to ensure each client has the best opportunity to learn according to how their brain functions. Teaching is psychology and we adopt a psychological and mathematical approach to how we help our client`s progress. This includes a unique methodology designed to improve fluency created by our Australian professor, Cian Sean McGee.
Our goal is professionalism and proficiency, both in the manner in which we work with our clientele and in how they master the language.

TIME: We at C&K are unique in that we understand that each client is individual not only in their needs, but also in how their minds process information. With this in mind, we don`t offer false promises. All our clients are made aware that their progress is determinant on how reactive their mind is to interpret the new concepts in the classroom. We will never rush through any concept or new language just because you were promised that you would finish a book by a certain date. Taking a personal, psychological approach to learning, we understand that the pace of a course is determined by the students ability to understand and relate effectively and proficiently the new information. It is our philosophy that in our classroom, no stone will be left unturned and no question will be left unanswered. Therefore, to throw some physics into the pot, time is relevant; it is relevant to how each individual client relates the new concepts.

We will never tell you that you will be proficient by a certain date like some of our competitors do. This attitude is solely about generating pure profit for the school or organization that is providing the learning environment. In that environment, the client is guaranteed to not get the proper return on investment. Instead, we tell you that you will learn, you will be proficient; as long as you put exactly the same amount of effort into learning the new language as we put into preparing and delivering to you. So time is relevant and it is different from one client to another.

MIX`n`MASH Course - For clients of whom time is not a burden and want to generate the best return on investment, we offer the ability to utitise your time more effectively. For courses consisting of 2-5 classes per week, you can choose to mix your course structure and choose to work one day with units from social language, while on the others working with units from Business and others. This is especially useful for true beginners who need English for their current or future positions, but to do so need to get a basic grasp of social language to better understand grammatical context.
