I do have some learning difficulties which Mr. Dan is very helpful. Honestly, he's a very patient and helpful tutor, and he really makes sure you understand a word or the question that makes him an excellent tutor 👍. He's very helpful in reading novels and helps me read over words that I find confusing and explains them to me as well. I highly appreciate his help.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How can I master English in Iowa City, IA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study with special programs, you have 4 principal opportunities for learning English interactively in Iowa City, 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 cheaper.) Your other possibility can be local private language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can find a private English tutor in Iowa City, IA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Iowa City, IA and online English tutors.

🎟 How expensive is it to learn English and what are the ballpark lesson costs for English tutors?

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 cost of 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and private English tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey English tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, 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 pass a few pre-requisites. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research the details in advance. With personal English tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

🔥 Why is English so difficult 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. In reality, 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 phrases, be understood when you talk, socialize in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun 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 achieve a good level of 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 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. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more 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, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

Colleges as a rule run classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually 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.
