BEC stands for Business English Coaching.
The “plus” represents all the added value we
bring to your organization and your life.

BEC+ is an innovative approach to English for Specific Purposes (ESP). We go beyond the act of teaching - empowering participants and helping them overcome potential obstacles.

We clearly believe that life is BIGGER when you understand English. Therefore, we strive to make our participant’s lives just that.

BEC+ is also a method that borrows various components from traditional coaching techniques. That’s why we have created a unique idiomatic coaching tool that helps you bring your English potential to life.

This is the path you will follow

  • BEC Coaching

    Apprenticeship is the beginning of our journey through the world of English for Innovation. In this level, we acquire our first set of tools. Motivation Exercises and Basic Operating Language will open the first door in our journey. Speaking and writing at a basic level: your first mile. Plain English principles and Visual Thinking tools will show you that much can be said with few words or none at all. We then integrate all this into the basic theory and practice of Effective Presentations. This is your final step as an APPRENTICE, the first base camp in your climb to MASTERY.

  • BEC Coaching

    You have completed the first third of your path: you have now officially embarked on a journey. Motivation is still important, vocabulary as well. However, this level is more about mastering your Presentation Skills, both written (e-mails and reports) and spoken (speeches and presentations). You will also learn about analysis and interpretation tools when facing different problems and situations. Becoming a JOURNEYMAN is all about being a robust and confident traveller of the English-speaking business world. You will come to see English as a tool for thinking and creation. Once you have become proficient at this, you will be ready for the final stage in your journey to MASTERY.

  • BEC Coaching

    Mastery is your final stage, the leap from language use to language freedom. The mastery level will focus on fine-tuning the skills acquired in the other levels. You will perfect your knowledge on the Art of the Pitch, which will allow you to communicate ideas with full consciousness of what you are doing and why you are doing it. Your days of being part of the pack are over: you are now an outlier. This stage will take you to the top of the mountain, the rest is determined by your ambition: you already have the wings, we taught you how to use them, now pick your wind and fly.
