    Why choose Liza M.
    "After the bad experience in the language school where I have wasted lots of time and money, I decided to try the tutor online. French is not an easy language but Liza makes it really easy for me! She finds different tasks according to my level and never forgets to challenge me too. I only had 6 lessons with her but I've already learnt so much! I also get homework (with regular check ups), lots of conversations and vocabulary checks, and this is exactly what I need. Most of the time I have a little baby around me, but it's not a problem for Liza! Baby gets to learn some French too!:) I would highly recommend Liza to anyone wanting to learn a language. "

    Experienced Native English And Business Administration Tutor with 5000+ hours of online teaching I also specialise in teaching English as a second language. I am also into teaching Business professionals and preparing them for interviews . I am a certified IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge trainer. My students have got good results in both these exams over the last 7 years.

    Why choose Maneet Kaur F.
    "I had been preparing for my IELTS test when I had had a pleasure to meet Maneet. And I would like to share with you my impressions about the tutor. Basically, if you ask me about her professional skills as a tutor, I would reply to you instantly that she is, no doubt, completely professional! Our lessons were constructed around my preparation to IELTS. We had almost everyday classes because of lack of sufficient preparation time. What I can tell you about positive aspects: First, every class was strongly related to the goals. There wasn’t anything that could interrupt the preparation. And both of us were totally concentrated on lesson. Secondly, all her tasks were similar as the test ones. This aspect helped me to adapt to the exam a little. We had audio, speaking, reading and writing parts as well. It was very good! Thirdly, every class I was asked to write different types of assignments. I had written a lot of essays and graph descriptions. It has really improved not only my writing skills but speaking skills too. Writing can teach you to form your thoughts in proper way. It is very essential! Also, she was never late compared to other tutors that I had. So, if you are preparing for a test and looking for a strong and responsible tutor she is the best who you need! She is always open and honest with you. She will emphasise your weak sides and enhance them! You will notice your improvements and appreciate them. Absolutely recommend! P.S. Although, other arguments support the thesis, all cited above carry a great weight! )) Друзья! Всем кто готовится к сдаче языкового теста и не только, этого преподавателя я очень рекомендую!! Это были долгие недели, почти ежедневных занятий и очень тяжелого труда с Маниит и я ей очень за это благодарен. Не обращайте внимания на ее имеющейся акцент, это ничего не значит!!! я пробовал заниматься со многими носителями языка из США, Англии и ни один из них не был так ответственен как Маниит. Заниматься надо с профессионалами которые знают что предлагают и она именно такая. Очень интересная, талантливая и успешная личность!"

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How do I skill up on English in Cologne and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using special programs, you have several main opportunities for learning English interactively in Cologne. 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 less pricey.) Your second spource 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. Fourth, you can look for a private English tutor in Cologne. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Cologne and online English tutors.

🎟 Is it affordable to learn English and what are the ballpark lesson costs for English tutors?

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 rate for 45-48 class hours each semester. Language centers and independent English tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, ratings and popularity. Average reviews for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

📚 How much English do I need to know 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. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and graded tasks, so research each program in advance. With personal English tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from 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. As proven by others before, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand everyday sentences, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready 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 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 demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your existing level of English or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, find 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.

🤳 What are my options when choosing the English teacher?

In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with video profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

Colleges usually schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically 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.
