Chairing Meetings in English – Confidently and Professionally
International meetings are part of everyday working life in many companies. Whether weekly team catch-ups with colleagues from different countries, project meetings with external partners, or board meetings in English – the demands on your language skills are high. At Simmonds Language Services, you practise exactly the situations you actually encounter in your meeting routine: opening agenda items, moderating discussions, summarising outcomes, and assigning actions. Our English for Meetings prepares you for any type of meeting.
Many professionals have a good level of English – but stumble when it really matters: How do I phrase a diplomatic counterargument? How do I summarise complex results concisely? How do I handle interruptions? Our training addresses precisely these challenges. With native-speaking trainers from the UK and USA, you practise the subtleties of meeting communication in realistic role-plays. We work on your vocabulary, your pronunciation, and your confidence.
In addition to live sessions with our trainers, you can practise any time with our AI avatar technology. The avatar simulates meeting scenarios and gives you immediate feedback on grammar, word choice, and fluency. This means you train every day – not just during the weekly lesson. This blended learning approach significantly accelerates your progress and gives you the confidence you need for international meetings.
