Pilgrims

Pilgrims is about personal transformation and stands for creating possibilities. so that the professionals we coach go beyond the norm of traditional English Teaching Methods and access skills and language far beyond their expectations. Based in historic Canterbury, our unique open-plan training space provides a learning environment that is real and reflects the real professional world instead of the of synthetic environment of traditional classrooms. We don't use books and our coaches don't plan lessons. This is because real progress in language and confidence comes from spontaneity and from you the participant being at the centre of everything and not a teacher's pre-conceived ideas of what the lessons should be. Every part of your Pilgrims experience is designed so that you feel comfortable, confident and concentrate fully on your own learning. At Pilgrims we teach people not methods. Our customer feedback is extraordinarily high. You work in small groups always with 2 trainers present. Daily lunches with Pilgrims managers in local restaurants ensure you are meeting and speaking with different professional people every day. Many of the world's top companies trust Pilgrims to transform their key people into the successful communicators and managers they need to be. Our Teacher Training Courses attract over 1000 teachers every year from over 30 different countries. In addition we can arrange teacher training events in your country. Pilgrims Trainers are famous authors and speakers at international fairs and conferences and we publish two magazines - Humanising Language Teaching - www.hltmag.co.uk and the Teacher Trainer Journal.
