Social Media:  

Language Trainers Online doesn’t pretend to employ social media, but they do offer a way to take courses online in private groups that are for your friends or family. You can also take classes with many students like in a regular classroom.

They use MegaMeeting with Skype for their classes and video is optional, but it's something that’s offered. To make using Skype easy, Language Trainers Online offers a quality troubleshooting guide.

Quality of Instruction:  

We were very pleased to see that the Language Trainers Online lessons are recorded. This means that their teachers are monitored and their students are observed. Teachers and students can retrieve these recordings to review their lessons. Even though we think that one-on-one teaching is more advantageous to the student, we think this opportunity to retrieve previous lesson recordings is a good idea.

Language Trainers Online allows their students to pick their own trainer. Each teacher has a profile and students can select the one they think is best. This company also states that their class times are very flexible and that since business people quite often need to cancel classes and reschedule them, they make it easy to do so.

Variety of Offerings:  

Although Language Trainers Online does not offer many different options, they do offer Survival English, which means they will get a student ready to visit a country even though they have no prior knowledge of English. This can be very handy for someone who is in a bind.

In addition, they offer Business English and they can tailor the course to be for the employees of a specific company.

Students can also request custom courses be designed for their needs or even their particular learning style.

Instructional Options:  

Since Language Trainers Online offers custom courses, it’s hard to know all of the instructional options available. Their teachers are qualified and experienced, so there may be many additional options available to students.

Language Trainers Online has contacts with good overseas language schools, which can be good for the student who has studied a lot of English and is ready to practice their English in a school in an English-speaking country.

Language Trainers Online is definitely a good option for a company looking to give their employees English courses. The fact that classes can be tailored for an individual or a group is definitely a plus.

Unfortunately, their online learning environment isn’t rich or conducive to learning. We recommend that you take a look at English4today, English, baby! or LiveMocha, our TopTenREVIEWS award winners.
