    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my English in Ames, IA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using apps, you have 4 primary choices for learning English interactively in Ames, IA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your second resource can be local commercial language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can look for a private English tutor in Ames, IA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Ames, IA and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn English and how much should English tutors ask?

    For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language schools and private English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, ratings and languages the tutor can teach in. Average student satisfaction for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What level of English do I need to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and testing, so research the details in advance. With personal English tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. Realistically, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand most words, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking English?

    Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will take at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ significantly depending on your current level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in English out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right English tutor?

    In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of verified English tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
