NEW LANGUAGE SCHOOL PUTS JOB SEEKERS AHEAD

In Phoenix’s growing job market, more companies are doing business internationally, and that puts candidates with foreign language skills in high demand. Le Tutor Language School, which opened its Tempe location in the summer, offers people and businesses the opportunity to learn a new language through conversational style classes.

Le Tutor Language School offers ESL programs, private tutoring, group foreign language lessons as well as custom training programs for businesses and corporations. The locally owned and operated school strives to help job seekers become more valuable to potential employers, a service that many agree is much needed in Phoenix.

Doug Bruhnke is the CEO of Growth Nation and President of Arizona International Growth Group. According to Bruhnke, "Phoenix is steadily maturing as an international business center, bringing to it more foreign direct investment and more local companies looking to export or import."

Owner and School Director Aaron Kuroiwa has been establishing Le Tutor’s brand through private lessons and corporate programs. Kuroiwa is fluent in French and is a strong advocate for conversational style learning. “We work with a lot of companies that are doing business globally,” says Kuroiwa. “Le Tutor helps their teams communicate more effectively in the international market.”

The advantages of having international experience and fluency in more than one language are becoming very evident in current economy. Having a competitive advantage helps job seekers get noticed by prospective employees.
