Robertson Plus  

 

Robertson Plus is a new branch of the school, specialized in teaching Serbian to the members of international community in Belgrade and organizing specialist trainings for professionals.  

Robertson Plus is dedicated to providing practical support for organisations establishing themselves within the country. Predominantly, we are concerned with language training, but we can also help with economic, social and cultural briefings and other specialist courses.

 

Good Quality Language Teaching

 

There is a growing need for a quality teaching of Serbian language by trained teachers that are experienced in teaching in a business and diplomatic environments. Robertson Plus worked hard on creating a place that would offer a range of courses that are held under careful monitoring and supervision.

 

Teaching can be arranged either on a one-to-one basis or in groups of individuals with similar abilities and needs, ensuring a high level of personal attention. Courses are arranged to suit the requirements of each student, either intensively – which means concentrated full-time tuition for a number of weeks – or else at a more measured pace over a longer period.

 

Our Teaching Methods are flexible

 

We adopt the approach which best suits the learning style and specific requirements of each student. Our tutors are able to asses the needs and abilities of individual students and adopt the teaching methods accordingly. Our courses are practical and up to date, which means that we teach expressions and phrases used in ‘real’ life situations that correspond with customs and culture of today’s Serbia. We understand language needs of the expats living here and can prepare them for just basic language ‘survival’ or teach them to the level necessary in the business environment.

 

Tuition can be arranged either at your place of work or at home, or on Robertson’s own premises – whichever is more convenient for you.

 

High -  Quality Tutors

 

As a minimum, we appoint teachers that are all:

  • Native speakers
  • Graduates
  • Trained and qualified as teachers
  • Experienced in  adult language teaching
  • Experienced in teaching in a business environment
  • Lively, humorous and confident

 

Quality assurance and client satisfaction are constantly monitored throughout each programme. Provision is sensitively adjusted in step with the student’s progress and needs.

 

Students Achieve Their Objectives

 

A study plan is agreed at the start of each programme. Course objectives are identified for each student and a realistic set of goals is determined based on a detailed assessment of the student’s particular experience, needs and abilities. In –course review ensures effective progress toward these objectives.

 

We encourage students to aim for one of several levels of language proficiency:

Survival level

Operational level

Functional level

Proficiency

 

These levels of ability range from very basic conversational skills through to near-native ability, where making presentations or undertaking business negotiations in the target language is quite feasible.
