Succeed at Michigan Ross and Beyond. Improve your English with B-Speak!

Ross Business School Leaders have teamed up with B-Speak! to ensure you get the English support you need to thrive in your graduate business programs — and beyond!
Ran W., China
This program helped me take my English to the next level and helped me enhance my English in a business setting. The high level of customization is really what attracted me to B-Speak! in the first place and is what makes the program stand out from the rest of the group. Candidates are really able to have customized sessions with their coaches. And every session can be suited to the individual’s goals for that particular week or month. For example, right before one of my real job interviews I scheduled a mock interview with my coach and that really helped me achieve my ultimate goal.!

B-Speak! is an excellent experience for many reasons. Number one, you improve your English skills, learn resources to check your grammar and also learn new vocabulary. And also, you build new relationships and friends, and talk about other points of view. My confidence absolutely improved. My previous English courses focused on grammar. B-Speak was practical and business-related - this is a great course..

How Does Our Program Work?

B‑Speak! combines a customized online curriculum (up-to-date articles and videos, “soft” skills exercises) with individual live video chat lessons tailored to your unique needs and challenges – from pronunciation and intonation to interview skills and writing.
Our lesson modules focus on building the key skills you require — i.e. describing, defining, choosing, solving, defending and challenging — while time with the instructor is dedicated to practicing these skills in ways that will mimic the classroom, case study, presentation or interview experience in a challenging, yet supportive way.

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to start B-Speak! Coaching? 

The sooner, the better! Although we work with students and professionals at all stages of their academic and career journey, we recommend getting started well before the start of your graduate program or job search. For business students, our partner business schools find that students who begin coaching shortly after admission have the greatest success in their programs and on the job market. Of course, a lot also depends on your current English level and your goals. We also work with people who are preparing for job and graduate school interviews.

What happens after I register? 

As soon as you register, we acknowledge receipt and review the information you shared - your goals, your timeline for coaching, how many hours you'd like, etc. We then get to work matching you with one of our B-Speak! coaches. Once we've done that, we send you an email connecting you with your personal coach and the two of you take it from there to schedule your live sessions.

How is B-Speak! different from a typical English language program? 

B-Speak! was designed for international graduate students and working professionals, and thus our content and approach focus on the skills you need to be successful in graduate business school and in your future career. It's also highly personalized such that sessions focus entirely on the areas YOU need to strengthen.

How many hours should I select? 

That's entirely up to you, though we can advise based on your current level and goals. Most newly admitted graduate students sign up for 15 or 30 hour packages. For interview prep, 10 hours usually does the trick. You can also book a 10 hour package and add on additional hours at the same discounted rate for Ross students.
