Also in 2023, Harmony Academy was a center of excellence for language learning for two corporations. The first was the top quality brick and tile manufacturer Wienerberger and the second was the Trnava-based automotive company Stellantis. We have managed to excel not only in providing high quality education, but also in creating an environment where students achieve excellence in language and communication skills.
One of the main factors in Harmony Academy's success is our innovative "Learner-centred approach" to teaching, which is based on tailoring learning to theneeds of each individual student. At Harmony Academy, we recognize that each student has different learning styles and goals, so we offer a personalized learning plan for each individual. This approach has proven to be a key factor in achieving exceptional results.
Harmony Academy employs experienced and professional tutors who have a wealth of experience in teaching language courses in a corporate environment. These Trainers are dedicated not only to teaching the language itself, but also to creating a stimulating environment for students to feel comfortable and motivated in improving their language skills.
Thanks to close cooperation with the management of Wienerberger and Stellantis, we at Harmony Academy offer programmes that are specifically tailored to the needs of their employees. These courses focus on the professional topics of communicating in work situations and strengthening industry-relevant language skills.
In 2023, Harmony Academy students achieved excellent results in the monitoring and final exams and their language ability levels increased significantly. These results are the result of a combination of an excellent teaching programme, tutor engagement and students' commitment to their learning.
Regarding the satisfaction of students of these companies with the approach and expertise of Harmony Academy lecturers, we can state that in the Trnava Stellantis automotive company 96% of students were satisfied with both the expertise of lecturers and their approach . At Wienerberger, a company producing bricks and tiles of the highest quality, 97% of students were satisfied with the expertise of the lecturers and 93% of students were satisfied with the approach of the lecturers. In both cases, all teaching was done online, which fully replaced the traditional face-to-face teaching of the past.
How do the students themselves evaluate the lessons with Harmony tutors? From the large number of positive evaluations we select:
"I am extremely satisfied with the Harmony language course, it is a nice change of pace in my day at work. The Harmony teachers are very nice, helpful and accommodating people, they understand that we are adults, we are employed and we all have our own responsibilities and family at home, so the format of the course really suits me. I have to add that I am learning German for my own benefit and I don't need it at all to do my job."
"I consider Harmony Academy teachers to be professionals in their field, i.e. in teaching AJ. The AJ course I took expanded my vocabulary and gave me more confidence in carrying on a conversation. Emotionally, I respond much faster when composing sentences and finding the right expressions."
"I always lookedforward to my English classes. There was a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere at the classes, mainly thanks to our teacher Janka Chynoradská, who always managed to bring us positive energy and a desire to learn."
"Sonia Petrášová is an excellent teacher, person and I think she is also an excellent, understanding mother. My hat is off to her knowledge, teaching ANJ, approach, thinking, clarity of grammar explanation in class, experience in language teaching, innovativeness."
Harmony Academy maintains its place as a leader in language skills education through an innovative approach to teaching and close collaboration with companies, providing students not only with language skills but also with the tools needed to succeed in their career fields.
Harmony's competitive advantage is the application of experience and knowledge from the Learn & Lead innovation, which introduces a modern approach to communication in both learning and leadership. We asked the current director and trainer, Jan Chynoradska, what this innovation consists of. "The Learn & Lead innovation stands on three fundamental pillars. Ittakes a learner/student-centred approach in the classroom, guides teachers, lecturers and management as well as administrative support staff on the Learn & Lead journey of excellence, and helps organisations transform themselves into learning organisations through innovative tools, trainings and consultations."
Orientation to the corporate client forms the core of the interest and emphasis of the current Harmony Academy. With its professional programmes, wide range of offerings and top quality services, it stands out not only in Slovakia, but also in EU countries thanks to its Learn & Lead innovation.
