Tonyversity will route you via the link below to Tony Jolley’s poetry and lyrics site Tonyverses where you can access what he has written, comment, get in contact, discuss, make offers to publish etc. Tony has been writing guitar music and lyrics since his youth (a fair time now!) and has also published on his site some 250 of his recent poetic outpourings on subjects many and varied.

That said – if you are desperate for an early peek – go take a look: Tonyverses...

For example, recently Tonyversity has translated various technical journal articles (concerning online learning research) from French into a style of English suited to an higher level readership and expected of articles for submission to editors and peer-review panels of English and American academic journals. Tonyversity will also review existing drafts/ initial ‘translations’ prior to print with a view to ‘catching’ errors that often slip through the net when translations are done by non-industry specialists and non-native English speakers. Tonyversity staff also possess considerable Travel and Tourism industry and teaching experience and are particularly well-versed in reviewing Tourism guides, brochures, customer notices, menus, ‘bedroom browsers’ etc to assure accurate translation. Although Tonyversity will gladly review and correct/enhance documentation, where appropriate, this may also be undertaken as part of a staff training programme using such materials as the basis for English capability development.

Are you a professional looking to: simultaneously enhance your English, Management know-how and intercultural capabilities Tonyversity will:- work with you on a one-to-one (or small team basis, if you prefer) in order to determine critical intercultural & English language learning and professional Development requirements and how these may be most efficiently, effectively and economically addressed, subject, of course, to constriants such as time and budget. Training programmes will be designed specific to your own distinctive personal/professional needs and and may be delivered in your place of work, home or at the Tonyversity Office in Bruebach near Mulhouse. Often, for reasons of being able to ‘escape’ the distractions of the workplace or home, clients prefer to visit the Tonyversity Office. Training may be arranged both in and out of office hours and over extended or highly intensive periods. Such training will be based around the your current and anticipated work & projects, for example: powerpoint presentations; report-writing; memos and letters; promotional materials; technical specifications, meetings and their management; interviews and interviewing, client sales ‘pitches’; customer reelationship-building negotiation etc preparing for living and doing business in Anglophone countries In fact Tonyversity will address with you any situational context in which you may be expected to have to ‘perform’ in English. Prepare your cv & covering letter in accordance with job descriptions and person specifications and to rehearse your strategy/technique for impending interview in English Tonyversity will: work with you on the design and content of both your cv and covering letter. These days a ‘basic’ cv and a ‘standard’ covering letter is never going to be enough to get anyone on an interview shortlist: it is a ‘Buyers Market’ out there in employment terms – employers are overwhelmed with choice. To address such choice and operate an effective ‘screening system’ which ensures that they get to employ the very best people for the posts, employers are increasingly becoming more sophisticated in their use of Job Descriptions and Person Specifications. Most Anglophone companies, multinationals and large organisations operating on the international marketplace have Human Resource Management Departments who are charged with improving recruitmen &, selection procedures and reducing labour turnover: they are very partiular about who they interview. Cvs and covering letters...
