Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
💷 How much should I pay for English lessons in the UK?
💭 Is it worth it to find a private tutor for English lessons?
While the answer to this question is quite subjective, in most cases, students find that hiring a private tutor for English as a foreign language lessons is absolutely worth the investment. With a private tutor, you can progress much faster than you would in group lessons or in a classroom setting. In a busy classroom, it is difficult for the teacher to provide every student with the individual attention they require, and they can't adapt to the learning style of every student. With private English lessons, your tutor can adapt the lessons to your needs and goals, and work at a pace that is comfortable for you.
🧑🏫 What does a private English tutor do?
A private English tutor works with you to achieve your goals in English learning. They can tailor their lessons according to your needs, goals and your learning style. So for example, if you want to learn English so that you can live in an English-speaking country, prepare for an interview in English, or if you´re studying towards an official English exam so that you can apply for a job, an English as a foreign language tutor can work with you to meet your goals.
💻 Can I find English lessons online?
You can indeed find English lessons online. Many industries have been moving online, and education is no exception. On FindTutors, you can find tutors all over the UK offering online tuition. If you want to take online classes, you just need to ensure that you have a device with a good microphone and camera, as well as a stable internet connection.
🧐 What is the best age to start English lessons?
Starting language lessons as a child is very beneficial as children are more likely to retain information quicker, and language learning helps their brain development and cognitive skills. However, while it may be slightly easier to pick up something new as a child, it is never too late to start learning English. When searching on FindTutors, you´ll find that many tutors offer English tutoring for adults.

How to find an English tutor near you in Southampton
If you want to find an English tutor near you in Southampton, you can start by asking family and friends for recommendations. You may know somebody who has taken private English lessons in the past and who can personally recommend a private tutor to you.
Alternatively, you can check local community centres or tuition centres to see if they have any private tutors available.
However, one of the most popular choices is by doing an online search for “English tutors near me in Southampton.” You'll find many online platforms like FindTutors, which allow you to find a tutor according to your specific needs, budget and availability.
What to look for in an English tutor
When searching for an English as a foreign language tutor, here are a number of things you should take into account:
- The tutor´s experience, skills and qualifications. While you don't necessarily need a tutor with formal qualifications, they should ideally have experience in the area of English you want to learn. So if you´re preparing for an English exam for example, they should know the course requirements and have experience in teaching for this specific English exam.
- The tutor´s teaching style and communication skills. You should find a tutor who can communicate in a way that you understand and who can adapt their teaching style to suit your learning needs.
- Reviews and testimonials from past pupils. If you´re unsure which tutor to pick, you can always ask them if they have reviews and testimonials from past students, so you can understand a bit more about their teaching and the kind of results they´ve achieved.
How often should I take English lessons?
Ideally you should take an hour-long English lesson at least once per week in order to progress at a steady pace. However, this can vary according to the needs and goals of the individual student.
It should also be noted that in order to progress with learning English, you should also be investing your own time outside of classes to practise the language. You can do this through going to language exchanges or by trying to speak with native English speakers, listening to music, studying grammar or watching films in English.
Is it better to take face-to-face or online lessons?
Whether you take traditional face-to-face English classes or online English tuition is entirely up to you and your needs.
Many students prefer in-person classes as they find they can build a better relationship with their tutor and they feel more motivated with a tutor physically there to hold them accountable in their learning.
With online English lessons, you can have more flexibility with when and where you take your classes. You aren´t limited to finding tutors in just a particular area and can select from a wider pool of tutors from across the UK or even further. As well as this, online tutors tend to be slightly cheaper as online lessons eliminate the need for travel and for physical resources.
Whichever kind of lessons you choose, whether they be in-person or online, you´re sure to find an English tutor near you in Southampton. So start your search for a tutor today and you´ll see your English improve in no time at all!
