When Jones decided to move from Brazil to London, he had everything a hiring manager required…except English. Here’s how Your London Tutor (YLT) helped Jones become fluent and land a new job in under six months.
Personalised training that works
The stakes were high. London’s competitive job market demanded strong English communication skills, and Jones needed to master the language quickly. Recognising the urgency, Jones contacted YLT for personalised one-to-one English training.
Working closely with YLT’s founder, Jones began a bespoke training programme tailored to his career aspirations and designed to speed up language development.
The programme started with online sessions while Jones was still in Brazil, then seamlessly shifted to in-person training once he relocated to London. This flexible, continuous learning approach enabled Jones to maintain momentum during his international move.
Within six months, he went from having no English to confidently working in a professional environment, communicating entirely in English. Today, Jones thrives at an international company in London, using English in meetings, presentations and everyday conversations.
The success of this training was a partnership built on mutual accountability, with YLT providing the expertise and guidance, and Jones bringing the commitment needed to turn learning into lasting results.
Jones’s success is also a reflection of his own dedication to language learning. He attended every session, kept practising in his own time and stayed fully engaged throughout the journey.

What made the difference?
YLT created a personalised training programme tailored to Jones’s goals, priorities and learning style. The programme adapted to Jones’s needs, schedule and evolving requirements as he progressed to English fluency.
The training focused on real-world, conversation-based learning, allowing Jones to develop natural fluency and confidence in speaking. We combined this with targeted practice on the key skills most relevant to Jones’s work, such as grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
Training materials were aligned with Jones’s profession, deepening engagement and ensuring each session brought him closer to his career goals. Each training element complemented the others, enabling Jones to apply his learning in real-life situations.
Beyond language training, YLT provided support to Jones throughout his job-seeking journey. This included helping Jones prepare for job interviews (all in English), from mock interviews to role-specific language coaching.
From the outset, the learning process was collaborative, focusing on achieving tangible, measurable results.
