Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
💲 How much does a private English tutor cost in the UK?
🧐 Is it worth hiring an English tutor?
While the answer to this question is quite subjective, in most cases, students say that hiring a private English tutor is absolutely worth it. A private tutor can provide personalised English as a foreign language tutoring which is tailored to your own personal goals and learning style, and allows you to learn at your own pace without the pressure of a busy classroom.
🧑🏫 Is it easier to learn a language with a private tutor?
Learning English as a foreign language with a private tutor can certainly speed up the process when learning a new language. In a busy classroom, it's often difficult for teachers to provide each student with the individualised attention they require, and it's impossible to tailor classes to meet the needs of every single student. With a private tutor, they can adapt English lessons to your learning style and ensure they´re working at a pace that suits you.
💻 Can I find an online English tutor?
It's certainly possible to find online English lessons. You can start by searching online platforms such as FindTutors where you can filter online tutors.
Before you start your online tutoring, you should ensure that you have a device with a good internet connection, webcam and microphone.
💭 At what age should I start taking private English lessons?
There is no one age you should start taking English classes, but the earlier you start, the better. Children tend to absorb new languages easier than adults do, and starting early can bring about a host of benefits, as well as open many doors for children.
However, it's also never too late to start taking English lessons. On FindTutors you can find many tutors offering private English lessons for adults.
Learning English with private tutors in Canterbury
How do I find a tutor?
There are many ways in which you can find a tutor, some of which we have listed below:
- Ask friends and family for recommendations. It is very likely that you know someone who has sought out private tutoring in the past. It's worth asking around to see if anyone you know has personal recommendations of a trusted tutor you could hire.
- Check local tuition centres. There are often tuition centres or after-school clubs where you can find tutors.
- Search online. By doing a simple Google search of “English tutors near me in Canterbury”, you should be able to find numerous platforms like FindTutors where you can connect with tutors in your area.
Tips on choosing the right tutor for you
Before choosing a tutor, there are a number of things you should take into account:
- The tutor´s experience and qualifications. While it's not always necessary for a private tutor to have professional qualifications, it's important that their experience and skills match what you´re looking to gain from your private English lessons. For example, if you want to find English lessons for children, you should ideally find a tutor who understands children's education, has worked with tutoring English to children before and has a DBS check.
- The tutor´s availability and price. Your tutor should be available at a time that suits you and should fall within your chosen budget.
- The tutor´s teaching style. You should be able to build a good rapport with your tutor and have open communication with them so that you can discuss your goals, doubts and any problems that you might be having. A tutor should also be able to adapt their teaching style to suit your individual learning needs.
- Ask for reviews and testimonials. If you´re unsure about a tutor, you can always ask them for reviews and testimonials that they may have from past students. In this way, you can discover whether they´re a trusted tutor and what kind of results they´ve achieved with past students.
Types of English classes
Private tutors offering English classes according to a variety of needs. Some types of English classes you might find include:
- English lessons for children. Classes for children often focus on developing vocabulary through interactive activities that engage them in the lesson.
- English lessons for adults. English lessons for adults are extremely beneficial as it can often be difficult to find the motivation to learn something new in the often busy schedules that adults have. These private lessons can be tailored according to your individual needs, whether you´re a beginner or you´re preparing to work in an English-speaking country.
- English lessons to prepare for an exam. Many English students require private tuition in order to pass an exam they need to study abroad or to apply for a job where they have to do a job interview in English.
- Conversation classes. Some people just want to practise their spoken English, which is where conversational English lessons can help. Your tutor will prompt conversation based on various different topics, allowing you to improve your listening and speaking skills.
Face-to-face English classes vs online lessons
Whether you take face-to-face or online English lessons depends entirely on your needs and preferences.
Some students find that they prefer face-to-face lessons as it allows them to build a better relationship with their tutor, and they feel more motivated to learn with a tutor physically present.
However, online lessons allow for increased flexibility. Students aren’t limited to English tutors in their area, but can select from a wider pool of tutors all over the UK or beyond. Additionally, online English tutors tend to offer cheaper rates as carrying out classes online eliminates the need for any travelling or for physical resources.
Whichever type of English class you choose, and whether they be in person or online, you’ll surely find the right tutor for you on FindTutors. So start the search and find a tutor today!
