FrançaisTeams that use English now
Professionals who already speak English with clients, partners and colleagues and want more clarity and confidence in those situations.
Simply in-CompanyCustomized business English, built around your team's work.
Simply in-Company is English training for companies, designed around the situations where the language is part of the daily routine: meetings, presentations, international clients and partners. We start by understanding your company, not with an off-the-shelf package.
The first step is a conversation with a Simply specialist.
- Assessment before the proposal
- Tailored plan
- Teaching follow-up

The challenge
Knowing English is one thing. Using it at work is another.
On many teams, the English is already there. People read, understand a good part of what they hear and have handled the occasional situation. But when it's time to jump in, explain an idea or answer on the spot, their confidence disappears.
Understands the meeting, but hesitates to jump in.
Follows the discussion and has something to say, but by the time the answer is ready, the conversation has moved on.
Prepares the presentation well, but loses confidence during Q&A.
The script is rehearsed. What causes the insecurity is everything outside it.
Writes carefully, but avoids live conversation.
The email goes out error-free, and the call with the client or the foreign partner keeps getting pushed back.
Knows the industry vocabulary, but doesn't sound natural.
The technical terms are there. Spontaneous conversation, on an informal call or during a break at an event, is still hard.
Closing that gap changes the day-to-day: people participate more clearly, explain their ideas better and react more naturally in the situations that are already part of their work.
The idea
Your company doesn't just need English classes.
It needs people to communicate clearly and confidently in the situations where English is part of the job. That's why Simply in-Company starts from those situations and follows your team's progress throughout the program.
Assessment
We learn about the roles, the starting level, the communication challenges and the situations where English is needed.
Context-based plan
The proposal is designed for the team's context, with priorities set based on the assessment.
Relevant practice
Conversations and simulations that mirror the daily routine, with English being used for real during class.
Follow-up
The teacher corrects and guides, and you get feedback and adjustments along the way.
These four stages follow Simply's ARC Method: assessment, planning, context-based practice and feedback.
How it works
From the first conversation to ongoing follow-up.
There are five stages. The format of each one is adapted to your company's reality and agreed on in the proposal.
Initial conversation
You tell us about your company, who's on the team and what needs to improve in your English communication.
Starting-point assessment
We identify the level and needs of the people involved. That way, the plan is based on reality, not assumptions.
Teaching proposal
We define goals, format, frequency and participants in a proposal made for your company.
Implementation
Classes begin, focused on the priority situations and lots of English practice.
Follow-up
We track progress and adjust the path whenever the team needs it.
Day to day
Where your team's English needs to work.
These are examples of what can be part of the program. What actually goes in is defined by your company's assessment.
Meetings
Take part, share opinions, disagree and lead discussions in English.
Presentations
Structure your talk, present results and answer questions.
Customer service
Handle customers with clarity, confidence and courtesy.
International partners
Align expectations and maintain professional relationships in another language.

Cross-team communication
Work day to day with colleagues in other countries or locations.
Practice that feels like work.

- Correction and guidance from the teacher during class.
- Short practice between sessions, when it's part of the proposal.
What sets Simply apart
An English personal trainer for your company.
Instead of a standard package, Simply learns your starting point, goals and real needs to build a path that we follow and adjust.
Real personalization
Every program starts from an assessment of the company and its people. There's no one-size-fits-all package.
Focus on real-world language use
In class, professionals speak, respond and work through situations, instead of just studying rules.
Teachers who guide and correct
The teacher leads the practice, corrects thoughtfully and shows how to better say what each person wants to say.
Teaching follow-up
Progress is tracked along the way, with feedback on what has improved and what still needs attention.
Adjustments along the way
If the team's priorities change, the plan changes too.
Who it's for
For companies where English is already part of the job, or soon will be.
Organizations that want to build this capability
Companies expanding into new markets, or that want to develop English as a team skill.

Questions before the first conversation.
How is the proposal put together?
First comes an initial conversation and an assessment of your team's starting point. Only then do we define goals, format, frequency and participants, in a proposal made for your company.
Does the program serve both beginners and more advanced levels?
Yes. We work with different levels and profiles. The initial assessment shows where each person is and guides how we organize the work.
Are classes online or in person?
Both are possible. The choice depends on what makes the most sense for the company and on everyone's availability, and it's agreed on in the proposal.
How do we discuss number of people, frequency and investment?
These are defined after the conversation and the assessment, because they depend on team size, goals and format. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all package: the investment is laid out in the proposal made for your company.
Does Simply promise fluency within a set time frame?
No. We set realistic goals with the company, track people's progress and adjust the path whenever needed.
What do I need to have ready for the first conversation?
Nothing formal. It helps to know how many people are involved, what their roles are, in what situations they use English and what's currently getting in the way of communication. We'll figure out the rest together in the conversation.
Tell us about your company.
Tell us who's on the team, in what situations English is needed and what's currently getting in the way of communication. In the conversation, we'll see whether and how Simply can help. Choose whichever channel you prefer.
