    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on English in Fairfax, VA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

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

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

    For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of about 50 course hours each semester. Language academies and private English tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the less pricey English tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and popularity. 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, 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 add-ons they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so hard and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. As proven by others before, 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 common phrases, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and enjoyable 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 get better at speaking English?

    Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will necessitate at least 600 hours of active use. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your existing level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 Can I choose my own English tutor?

    In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of verified English tutors with video profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges as a rule run classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
