    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master English in Knoxville, TN and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have 4 primary opportunities for learning English interactively in Knoxville, TN. 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 spource can be local private language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can find a private English tutor in Knoxville, TN. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Knoxville, TN 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 by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for fifty or so course hours each semester. Language schools and independent English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private 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 geography, positive reviews and student demand. Average reviews 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and tests, 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 specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    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 sentences, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After mastering 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 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your already acquired level of English or proficiency in 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 TV, write by hand and online using your new language skills, try to communicate with 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.

    🤳 Can I pick my own English instructor?

    In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with extensive profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
