If English is holding you back at work, in meetings, presentations, emails or negotiation, the good news is that business English is very trainable as an adult. Here are the questions professionals in Singapore ask most, answered.
How can I improve my business English for meetings and presentations?
Practise the specific situations, not general grammar. Rehearse opening a meeting, giving an update, handling questions and disagreeing politely, out loud, and get corrected. A business English course focuses on exactly these scenarios so you build the phrases and confidence you use daily, rather than abstract lessons.
How do I write more professional emails in English?
Keep sentences short, lead with the point, and use a clear structure: purpose, details, action. The fastest way to improve is to write real emails and have them corrected by a teacher who explains why a phrasing sounds better. Over a few weeks the patterns stick.
Is business English different from general English?
Yes. Business English focuses on the vocabulary and situations of the workplace, meetings, reports, presentations, negotiation and professional tone, on top of solid general English. Most working adults benefit from a course built around work scenarios rather than a generic class.
How much does a business English course cost in Singapore?
At English Explorer, Business English is $350 for 8 two-hour sessions, and LifeSG Credits can be used for eligible courses. On-site corporate training for teams is quoted separately. When comparing, ask about class size and whether the syllabus is tailored to the workplace.
Can my company arrange English training for the team?
