ESL & Business English
About the Programs
What is the Fast-Track Fluency Method™?
The Fast-Track Fluency Method™ is Digby's proprietary approach to Business English — developed over four years of teaching professionals across more than 20 countries. It prioritizes speaking and listening from day one, focuses on real business vocabulary and scenarios rather than grammar drills, and is customized to each student's industry and career goals. The result is measurable fluency improvement in weeks, not years.
How is this different from a traditional English school?
Traditional English schools teach grammar and textbook language. Kerr University™ teaches communication — specifically the kind that opens doors in global business. Digby brings 35+ years of real executive experience to every session, which means the language you learn is the language actually used in boardrooms, negotiations, and client calls.
Can you help me prepare for a specific situation?
Absolutely. Whether you are preparing for a job interview, a major presentation, a board meeting, contract negotiations, or a new role in an English-speaking environment — Digby tailors sessions to your exact situation. Many students book a session specifically to prepare for one high-stakes event.
Do you offer tutoring for academic subjects?
Yes. Digby is a Top Tutor™ on Wyzant and offers expert tutoring in Business, Economics, Operations Management, Business Communication, Public Speaking, Writing, Career Development, and Entrepreneurship. See tutoring programs here.
