Who we are
English Our Way: English courses for companies and professionals.
English Our Way is a company specialising in English courses for companies and professionals, with more than 25 years of experience in Business English and general English, online and in person in Madrid.
Our methodology is 100% speaking-based: knowing English doesn’t always mean being able to use it with confidence, so our classes are designed for you to speak and take part from the very first minute, in real situations.
We design personalised courses according to the level, role, sector and needs of each student or company: meetings, presentations, negotiations, calls, clients and suppliers, sales, travel and international teams.
The goal: to give you the tools to professionalise your English and make it sound natural, step out of your comfort zone and communicate with more fluency, confidence and ease.
The teacher
A coach who guides you.
They support you with continuous correction and thorough follow-up of your learning.

The way we work
A clear process, real progress.
Knowing English doesn’t always mean being able to use it. Our methodology turns your knowledge into a real ability to communicate with fluency, confidence and ease.
We don’t work with fixed programmes: every course starts from your level and your needs, and evolves with you.
We assess
Level, needs, role, sector and goals: the starting point.
We set goals
Specific goals to structure the training and track progress.
We personalise
Learning plans and content based on your goals and your real situations.
We practise
100% speaking classes: conversations and practical simulations.
We correct and give feedback
Correction, vocabulary, expressions and new tools.
We measure and adapt
Continuous follow-up and goals that evolve with you.
Our experience
More than 25 years by your side.
We have worked with professionals, executives and company teams from many different sectors, designing English programmes adapted to their real communication needs.
That is why we know first-hand where our students need English: meetings, presentations, negotiations, sales, clients and suppliers, travel, international projects and teams from other countries.
Many companies have kept their trust in us for years. That continuity has taught us to listen, personalise, set goals, follow up and adapt the training to each student and company.

Me apunté a clases particulares de speaking para mejorar mi fluidez y ganar confianza al hablar inglés. Desde el primer momento la experiencia ha sido excelente. Alison resolvió todas mis dudas con rapidez y amabilidad, y Peter hace que las clases sean dinámicas, entretenidas y muy productivas. Dedicar una hora cada sábado a practicar inglés me está ayudando a sentirme cada vez más segura y a mejorar mi fluidez. Sin duda, forman un equipo muy profesional, cercano y comprometido con el aprendizaje de sus alumnos. ¡Estoy encantada con la experiencia y los recomiendo totalmente!Publicado en Google![]()

Realicé el curso especializado en terminología jurídica para contextos internacionales, con una metodología centrada en el speaking. Gracias a este enfoque práctico, he adquirido la fluidez y la confianza que necesitaba para desenvolverme con seguridad en mi actividad profesional diaria. Destacaría especialmente la atención personalizada, la flexibilidad y la adaptación del curso a mis necesidades profesionales. Una experiencia muy positiva que recomiendo totalmente.Publicado en Google![]()

Mi experiencia ha sido inmejorable , no solo por los resultados de la puntuación en el C1 que ha obtenido la máxima puntuación , sino también por la buena comunicación entre la gerente Allison de la escuela que, ha estado pendiente de coordinar todo a la perfección, la empatía , la buena predisposición para resolver dudas o problemas que surgieran . Así es que gracias a ella y, por supuesto a la buena profesionalidad y cercanía del profesor David que consiguió motivar a mi hija en el aprendizaje, acompañándola en todo momento hasta la fecha del examen. Muy agradecida a los dos , un fuerte abrazoPublicado en Google![]()

Recomendaría English Our Way sin dudarlo. Desde el primer momento, Alison ha sido increíblemente atenta y cercana, preocupándose siempre por cómo iban las clases y por encontrar la mejor opción para mí. Ese interés genuino fue precisamente lo que me llevó a conocer a Sham, y no podría haber sido un mejor acierto. Sham es una profesora fantástica: empática, muy atenta y con una capacidad especial para hacer que cada clase resulte natural, interesante y dinámica. Las conversaciones con ella han sido siempre enriquecedoras y he disfrutado muchísimo de las clases; de hecho, me da bastante pena terminarlas. Se nota cuando detrás de una academia hay personas que realmente se preocupan por sus alumnos. Me voy muy contento y, si en algún momento vuelvo a necesitar clases de inglés, sé perfectamente dónde volver!!Publicado en Google![]()

It’s truly great; this is the first time I’ve noticed significant progress with my English. It is well-tailored to my needs, and I’m improving every week. I’m achieving my goals almost without realizing it. Thank you very much.Publicado en Google![]()

Mi profesora 1-1 es Steffanie. Estoy completamente agradecida a ella. La dinámica es muy buena. Prepara las clases y te manda el trabajo previo, tienes que leer un artículo o ver un video y sobre ellos serán los debates o ejercicios a realizar en la clase. Lo recomiendo mucho
Choosing with confidence
