    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have four main choices for learning English interactively in Durham, NC. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your other option can be local for-profit language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can look for a private English tutor in Durham, NC. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Durham, NC and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn English and what does a lesson with a tutor of English cost?

    For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and independent English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, ratings and student demand. Average student satisfaction for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for English language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal English tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English not easy and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    One-size-fits-all 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 many expressions, speak on some level, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.

    🤷 How long does it take to master English?

    Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will demand at least 600 hours of study. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in English out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational English classes online.

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

    In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of verified English tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges typically schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
