About the Job

Overview


Essex House Premium Language Services is situated in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Situated on the shores of the Caspian Sea, Baku is interestingly placed between the east and the west. The city is small and compact, rich in oil and gas therefore many oil companies operate within or around the city. Baku hosts a number of cosmopolitan restaurants and bars, many with live music from both the east and the west. The walled old city takes you back many years and gives a real feel of the city’s history with its quaint old buildings and small dwellings.


The highest mission of Essex House is to provide our clients with access to more opportunities in their lives and careers. We maintain an intense focus on customer service, and on the belief that people come first. In accordance with these beliefs, we customise our training modules as a standard part of our customer service, we have constructed the best environments possible for the study of foreign languages in Azerbaijan, and we developed our pioneering Access English™ methodology. Together, they ensure our clients learn faster, remember more, and communicate better.
The importance of Access English TM cannot be overemphasised, as not all English training is the same. Our system focuses on multi-sensory learning, realistic communications exercises, and developing an instinctual feel for the language, by accessing the same levels of the brain that our native language resides in. Other systems rely on outdated teaching methods which focus on studying complex grammar rules, memorising vocabulary lists, and one-way written translation that leaves live communication with real native English speakers very difficult.

At Essex House Premium Language Services all language training is conducted using the Communicative Approach. Emphasis is placed on communication in the language both orally and in writing. Classroom role-playing enables communication that mirrors a real-life use of the language. This reinforces the idea that language learning is about communicating and not just rote-learning of huge lists of irregular verbs and grammar points.
