    Pat is a brilliant teacher. This is clear from the first few minutes. She is friendly and meticulous; thanks to Pat, I for the first time realized some of my speech errors that no one had previously corrected. And thanks to Pat, I restructured my job interview strategy, and the result was success...

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on English in Harpenden and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have several key opportunities for learning English interactively in Harpenden. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your second option can be local for-profit language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can look for a private English tutor in Harpenden. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Harpenden and online English tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it 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 rate for fifty or so course hours each semester. Language academies and private English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced English tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, availability and student demand. Average reviews 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 prove your profeciency level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, so research those in advance. With personal English tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so challenging and are there ways to learn it faster?

    One-size-fits-all 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 most sentences, be understood when you talk, socialize in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable 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 students.

    🤷 How long does it take to master 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 require at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of English or proficiency in 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 this is not easy you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own English teacher?

    In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges as a rule offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools give 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.
