Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

🤔 Is it worth getting a private tutor for English?

While there are many ways in which you can learn a language, hiring a private tutor is absolutely worth it to speed up the process and to give you a personalised learning experience. A tutor provides you with individualised, one-to-one classes where you can focus on your own needs and goals, which often can´t be met when learning in a busy classroom environment. If you´re working towards an exam, English as a foreign language tutors can help you prepare for the exam and provide you with the necessary tools to succeed.

🧐 How do I choose an English tutor?

If you´ve decided to find a tutor to learn English, you may be wondering how you choose the right tutor for you. The right tutor depends greatly on your own needs and goals. For example, if you´re studying towards an exam such as IELTS, you should find a tutor who has had previous experience in preparing students for this exam.

You should ensure that the tutor has the necessary experience and qualifications for your needs, that they fit within your schedule and budget, and that they have positive reviews or testimonials from past students.

📅 How many times a week should you meet with a language tutor?

You should ideally meet with your language tutor at least 1-2 times per week, but again, the amount of classes you should have depends on your individual needs and goals. The more classes you have per week, the quicker you´ll see results with your language learning.

💲 How much does a language tutor cost in the UK?

For a private English as a foreign language tutor in the UK, you can pay anywhere between £15 and £40. It should be noted however, that the price of a language tutor may vary according to their qualifications and experience, as well as where they are located. Tutors in larger cities may charge more than those based in smaller towns.

🧑‍🏫 Can you learn English without a tutor?

You can indeed learn English without the help of a tutor, and there are a number of resources such as apps that can help you do so. However, it should be noted that the quickest and most effective way to learn a language is with the help of a private English tutor. They can tailor their classes according to your needs and your individual learning style, meaning you can make the most of your language learning and will likely stay more motivated in the process. It is recommended that language learning apps and websites are used as a supplement to private lessons. While they can help you with learning vocabulary and some grammar, they can´t give you real-time feedback on your pronunciation or help you understand concepts in-depth, which a tutor can do.

Are private lessons or group lessons better in learning a language?

Both private language lessons and group lessons have advantages and disadvantages.

Group lessons are often cheaper than private tuition, and in a group setting you can learn from your peers and practise English conversation with them. It's also a great setting to meet new people and make new friends.
