Our Service Offerings
One-on-One Training
Customized one-on-one Language Training for any student type: assignees, spouses, children, and small groups. IOR introduces each student to a teacher that matches their needs, schedule, and goals. A Personal Development Plan is developed for each student, identifying concrete goals that can be accomplished within the authorized hours.
Virtual Training
Individual and Group Language Training can be scheduled in person, online, or using a blended approach. Some students choose one modality for the duration of their program while others mix-and-match as their schedules or needs dictate. Virtual language training has the same scope and expected outcomes as in-person training.
Self-Paced Learning
Customized program combining online, self-paced instruction with one-on-one Language Coaching. Each student moves through Mango Languages online modules at their own pace; Mango’s adaptive content adjusts in difficulty as the program progresses. Students are supported by check-ins from an IOR team member every 30 days, have access to a Virtual Language Coach for up to 10 hours of focused practice and instruction, and take two level assessments to measure their progress.

IOR's Language App
Language students always have their program details at their fingertips, thanks to the IOR Language App. This app empowers assignees to track the status of their program, confirm their attendance at all language lessons, contact key people involved in their language support, and review documents related to their curriculum (PDP, progress reports, exam results, and more).

Tech with a Purpose

Each tool is designed to simplify the modern assignee’s experience while minimizing touchpoints, reducing redundancies in information collection, and providing individualized attention to each learner.

“Development of communication skills is a springboard for building all types of relationships in the business world as well as in the community, with family and friends. My language teaching skills open up a world of possibilities for self-expression as well as access to other cultures for my students. I strongly believe I have the ability to improve people’s lives.”
