Question 1

What is Business Class, and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

A 12-week, 100% speaking-focused online English program designed for businesspeople and professionals in Türkiye, with groups of 4–6 participants.

If you want to improve your English speaking fluency, pursue a global career, overcome the language barrier to earn the promotion you’ve been waiting for, or share your ideas and help lead international meetings instead of staying silent, Business Class was designed just for you.

Question 2

What level of English do I need to know?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need perfect English to join the program; what matters is being in the right group for your goals. Our program is divided into two tailored tracks to meet your needs:Business Class 1 (A2+/B1): If you say, “I understand, but I freeze when I speak,” “I spend so much time forming sentences in my head that I don’t get a chance to speak,” or “My vocabulary isn’t enough to talk about my work,” this group is ideal for you. Here, you’ll overcome your hesitation about speaking, gain fluency without worrying about mistakes, and start expressing yourself comfortably in the broader dynamics of professional life.Business Class 2 (B1+/B2+): If you say, “I can get my point across, but I don’t feel professional,” “I want to do more than just participate in meetings—I want to persuade,” or “I aim to use more strategic and diplomatic language,” this group is just right for you. Here, you’ll polish your existing English and make the transition to nuanced, compelling English.If you’re not sure which group is right for you, don’t worry.

Question 3

What are the groups’ levels like?

Accepted Answer

The foundation of the Business Class experience is based on being in the right group with the right people. We place you not in a random class, but in the group where your skills and goals align best.

To ensure this “best match,” we follow a meticulous two-step process before enrollment:Placement Test: We assess your current technical knowledge.Consultation: We hold a one-on-one conversation focused not only on your grammar knowledge, but also on your speaking fluency and goals. At the end of this process, we place you in a group that is dynamic enough to challenge you while still feeling comfortable.

Question 4

What will I gain by the end of the program?

Accepted Answer

This 12-week journey gives you the space to redefine your relationship with English. While the benefits you gain from the program will depend on how often you participate and how much time you devote to practice outside class, by the end of this journey, our goal is to help you:Break Free from Mental Translation: Instead of wasting time translating sentences from Turkish into English in your head, you may find yourself moving toward a more natural and automatic flow of speech.Confidence and Courage: You may see your fear of “making mistakes” give way to the belief that “I can express myself.” Rather than trying to speak perfectly, our priority is for you to enjoy the ease of communicating fluently.Professional Ease: Instead of hesitating to speak up in a meeting, you may find the courage to put your ideas on the table and feel more in control during stressful moments such as presentations or interviews.In short, by the end of the program, we aim to have improved your level and speaking skills, and help you see English not as an obstacle but as a practical tool that will move your career forward.

Question 5

Are there grammar exercises in the sessions?

Accepted Answer

We don't provide theoretical training based on the traditional course model, where only rules are explained on a board. However, this doesn't mean grammar is left out. On the contrary, grammar exercises aligned with the topics are a natural part of the process.We integrate grammar structures into real-life examples and speaking practice. This way, without having to memorize rules, you learn to form sentences and understand why and how to use them in connection with that week's business topic (for example, a negotiation scenario) in a lasting and automatic way. Our goal is to help you use grammar not as "knowledge," but as a "tool" that strengthens your speaking.

Question 6

When and how often are the sessions held?

Accepted Answer

Our sessions take place entirely online. To accommodate your busy work schedule, we offer flexible options: 3 days a week or 2 days a week (one full-day session). You can choose the group that suits you best: morning, evening, or weekend.

Question 7

Your progress isn’t limited to weekly live sessions; it continues every day of the week thanks to the Retha Ecosystem.Retha Platform: You can access content related to the topics covered in your sessions here.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

They’re not just teachers; they’re also companions who guide you in interview techniques, strategic communication, and motivation.

Question 9

Are sessions recorded?

Accepted Answer

A recording is emailed to you after each session, and you can securely access the recordings throughout the program using only the email address registered in the system.This feature lets you catch up on a session you missed by watching it later; more importantly, you can benefit from our AI-powered analysis screen. This screen shows you what percentage of the session you spent speaking, a structural analysis of the sentences you formed, and the main topics discussed by the group. This way, you can track your progress not only by how you feel, but also using concrete data. Note: In keeping with our commitment to your privacy and data security, all session recordings are deleted from the system when the program ends.

Question 10

Is a certificate awarded at the end of the program?

Accepted Answer

Therefore, at the end of the program, if you request one, we send digital certificates of participation to members who attend at least 90% of the sessions.
