Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

📖 Why should I hire an English tutor if I’m a native speaker?

There are many reasons to hire an English tutor, even if you’re a native speaker. One of the most common reasons is to get help with passing secondary school exams such as GCSEs, A Levels, Highers, and Nationals.

In general, English tutors can be divided into English language tutors and English literature tutors. English language tutors help students improve their writing, speaking, and reading skills, while English literature tutors assist with studying the works of writers, poets, and playwrights.

You don't have to be a secondary school student to need an English tutor. You might want help developing your writing skills, particularly if you aspire to pursue journalism or become a writer. Alternatively, an English tutor could assist you with crafting articulate essays for university.

👩‍🏫​ How to choose the right English tutor?

To choose the ideal English tutor, consider factors such as experience, teaching methods, availability, price, and qualifications. It’s essential that you feel comfortable with the tutor to maximise your learning experience.

✍️​ What should I expect during English tuition?

Teaching methods vary depending on the English tutor. There is no single correct way to teach a class. If you’re curious about a tutor's teaching style, some offer the first lesson for free, allowing you to experience their approach before committing. On the FindTutors platform, you’ll see “First lesson free” highlighted in the tutor’s advert and profile if it is available. Generally, English classes on FindTutors last one hour, but the duration can be negotiated between the student and teacher.

👀 Where can I find private English classes near me?

You can search for an English tutor near me or find one that offers online lessons using a tutoring marketplace like FindTutors. Both online and in-person classes are excellent ways to improve your English; the method you choose depends on your preferences and availability.

💰How much do private English classes cost?

The cost of private English tuition varies greatly. It depends on factors such as the tutor’s experience and qualifications. Generally, more experienced and qualified English tutors charge more for their time. It can also depend on whether tuition is their full-time job or part-time and whether they teach in person. Prices can range from £6 to £25 an hour.

Private English language and literature classes

The Importance of English Literature and English Language

English literature and English language are integral to our education system, contributing significantly to our personal and professional development. Studying English literature allows us to explore the rich and diverse world of literary works, encompassing different genres, themes, and writing styles. This study enhances critical thinking and analytical skills, enabling us to interpret complex texts. Moreover, it exposes us to various cultures, societies, and perspectives, broadening our understanding of the world.

Having access to a qualified English tutor in these areas further enriches the learning experience, ensuring students receive the guidance necessary to excel.

When Should I or My Child Start Private English Lessons?

The timing depends on your goals. If you’re hiring an A Level English Literature tutor to help pass your A Levels, for example, you should start lessons in September at the beginning of the school year to ensure the tutor has enough time to cover all the necessary topics.

If your goal is more personal, such as improving your writing skills, there’s no specific time frame to achieve a certain level. You can start classes whenever it suits you!

6 Essential Tips for Studying English

Some people find English more challenging than others, which is why hiring a private English tutor can be beneficial. Here are six tips to help you make the most of your private English tuition:

  1. Avoid distractions: Concentration is key when studying subjects like English language and literature. Stay focused during your private English class, as this will help you learn faster.

  2. Write notes: Taking notes during your English classes helps reinforce important information and provides valuable revision material for exams.

  3. Get to know your tutor: Ensure you have a good rapport with your private English tutor. A positive relationship makes learning more enjoyable and less intimidating.

  4. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes: Fear of mistakes can hinder progress. Embrace errors as learning opportunities so your tutor can guide you towards the correct answers.

  5. Do the exercises: To fully grasp English literature or language, it’s important to actively engage with the material. Practise what you’ve learned in your private English classes.

  6. Repetition: Regular and frequent classes are essential for continued progress. A private English tutor will tailor lessons to suit your learning style and ensure consistent improvement.

About Private English Lessons

No matter how many tips you follow, they won’t be effective unless you fully engage in your private lessons with your English tutor.

Private English classes should be dynamic and tailored to your goals, whether you’re preparing for exams or aspiring to write a novel. Take advantage of the undivided attention from your tutor to address any doubts you may have.
