      Why choose Daniel B.
      "I am currently a 10th grade high school student taking an English 10 class, but i struggle in English a lot mainly because of the reading and the writing aspect of the class though writing is honestly, the hardest thing in my class for me. 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. I also recommend students and people to study with him 🙂. "

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on English in Lake Forest, IL and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have several key possibilities for learning English interactively in Lake Forest, IL. 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 option can be local specialized language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can find a private English tutor in Lake Forest, IL. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Lake Forest, IL and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn English and how much should English tutors ask?

    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 class hours each semester. Language academies and private English tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable English tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, ratings and specialization. Real student rating average 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 demonstrate proof of your current level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and exams, so research all such requirements 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 extras they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    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 everyday phrases, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and easy 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 learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn English?

    Some people seem to have a 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 dedication. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of English or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right English tutor?

    In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, always! The largest selection of approved English tutors with extensive profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges usually run classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
