      Experienced Teacher with Business background I usually start with the very basics and then use stories to get the student to read in Portuguese and ask questions about these stories to give the student confidence to answer in Portuguese. I decided to do something different away from statistics.

      I don't use the same strategy when I am teaching Portuguese.

      Why choose Maria S.
      "Maria is an excellent tutor. Speaking English scares me but Maria encourages me to do it. She is so kind, smart person. I feel lucky to meet her."

      Успешный репетитор IELTS, опытный преподаватель английского языка (КНУ им. Тараса Шевченко) Преподаватель Киевского национального унивеситета имени Тараса Шевченко, кандидат филологических наук, доцент.
      Стипендиат TEMPUS, проходила стажировку в Англии.
      Подготовила более 100 учеников к сдаче экзамена IELTS (за время обучения студенты поднимают свой Band Score на 2 балла!).

      Why choose Olga S.
      "My initial level of English was intermediate. Before I met Olga I had been taking private lessons from a native speaker for two months, and I neither made big progress nor gained understanding of IELTS “secrets”. That is why I decided that knowledge of the language is not the same as knowledge of the exam. Then, I decided to change a teacher and found Olga here on Preply. We went through exam structure, spent a lot of time on speaking (vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation). Olga taught me that what I say is important, but how I say it is even more important – what words, idioms and grammar I use, how I structure my answer. Besides, I received all information about the approach to a good essay. Olga passionately checked all my home tasks and we analyzed each sentence to make my result perfect! I am totally satisfied with my band: 7. I recommend this great teacher to people who aim to pass the exam."

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on English in Lagos and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have several key possibilities for learning English interactively in Lagos. 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 a little more affordable.) Your second possibility can be local specialized 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 opt for a private English tutor in Lagos. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Lagos 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 as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so lesson hours each semester. Language schools and private English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $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, availability and popularity. Average student satisfaction 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. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, 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 add-ons they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

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

    Formal 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 five hours a week you will be able to understand many 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 fast and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After attaining 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 take at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your available level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible 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.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the English tutor?

    In colleges and universities, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with full profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges as a rule structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule make available 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.
