It's estimated that over 1.5 billion people speak English worldwide, either as a native language or as a second language. This includes approximately 375 million native speakers and over 1 billion who speak it as a second language or are learning it.

The difficulty of learning English varies depending on your native language and linguistic background. According to the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), speakers of languages closely related to English may achieve proficiency with about 600-750 hours of study, while those from languages with significant differences may require up to 2200 hours. Proficiency levels can vary, and achieving fluency often requires sustained practice beyond these estimates.

The rate at which you can learn and enhance your English language abilities with the assistance of a tutor depends on a number of factors, including your present level of competence, the amount of time you are ready to devote to learning, and the regularity and quality of your tutoring sessions. However, with consistent practise and guidance from an experienced English language tutor, you can see improvements in your language ability in a relatively short period of time. Setting acceptable and attainable objectives and working consistently towards them is critical, and a tutor can help you stay accountable and track your progress along the way.

The most popular English proficiency tests include the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing System), Cambridge English Exams, and the PTE (Pearson Test of English). These tests are widely recognised by educational institutions, employers, and government immigration agencies globally.

To find the right English tutor, consider your learning goals, preferred learning style, and budget. Look for tutors with relevant qualifications, experience, and positive reviews. Many tutoring platforms allow you to filter tutors by these criteria and offer trial sessions to assess compatibility.

There are several reasons why someone may choose to work with an English Language tutor. Some of these reasons include:
Needing to improve language skills for academic or professional reasons
Wanting to prepare for standardised English language exams such as GCSE, A-level,..
- Needing help with specific skills such as reading comprehension, essay writing, grammar, or pronunciation
- Wanting to gain confidence in their English language abilities in order to communicate more effectively in social or professional settings
- Needing personalised support and guidance to reach their language learning goals.

Interactive online English lessons via video involve live sessions between a tutor and a student using video conferencing tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, which is what our tutors use. These sessions can include direct instruction, conversation practice, real-time feedback, and the use of digital resources such as shared documents, interactive whiteboards, and multimedia content to enhance learning.

The cost of English tutoring sessions can vary widely based on factors such as the tutor's qualifications, experience, and location, as well as the format (individual or group lessons) and platform used. Prices can range from £10 to £50 or more per hour. We provide weekly group classes and 1-1 tutoring. Call us today to discuss which option is best for you.

Having a native speaker as an English tutor can provide insights into natural language use, cultural context, and idiomatic expressions. However, non-native speakers with strong language skills and teaching experience can also be highly effective, especially if they share a similar linguistic background with you or have specialised teaching skills and knowledge of English tests such as TOEFL or IELTS.
