      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 to learn English in Rochester, NY and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have a few key opportunities for learning English interactively in Rochester, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your second option can be local private language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can opt for a private English tutor in Rochester, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Rochester, NY and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap 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 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language academies and independent English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, experience and specialization. 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. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research the details 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 intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

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

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. According to experts, 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 everyday words, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and enjoyable 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 master 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 take at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of English or knowledge of 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, seek native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own English teacher?

    In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of tested English tutors with detailed profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges usually schedule classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule have 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.
