      More than 25 years of experience teaching If you are interested in how you can improve, enhance and accelerate your natural learning process, I would be more than happy to show you how. One trial lesson is all we need.
      Like you, I have had the pleasure of learning a new language, several times.

      Why choose Eduard W.
      "Lessons with Mr. Weber are always a pleasant meeting after which I am more and more confident speaking English that I always dreamt of. In the beginning of our journey I asked Mr. Weber to help with the preparation for job interviews. It took us 4 weeks (8 lessons, twice a week) to prepare self-introduction, answers and anecdotes, learn and train presentation technics, also voice and breathing exercises. I felt so confident, I was so looking forward to each interview, I knew that it would be a great experience. And I got the job! And looking back I strongly believe that confidence in speaking foreign language together with public speaking and presentation skills is a key to successful interviews and successful presentations at work. Our lessons are structured in a way that I learn or train grammar or pronunciation, or widen my vocabulary through short presentations and dialogs. I learnt a lot of useful technics how to overcome public speaking fear, how to be an effective presenter and what was most import to me – how to keep attention. We continue with English lessons every week. My colleagues and friends, including native speaking, noticed the change. Their first question was if I got American boyfriend, because changes were so quick. Reality is that foreign language, even fluent, needs COACHing. Because speaking foreign language is not just vocabulary and grammar, it’s feeling comfortable, confident and native. That’s what Mr. Weber’s classes ensure 100%. I strongly recommend Mr Weber’s classes If you are preparing for a job interview in English, if you want to develop and strengthen you public speaking and presentation skills or you just want to learn and excel your English!"

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my English in Rockford, IL and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using mobile applications, you have a few principal opportunities for learning English interactively in Rockford, IL. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your 2nd possibility can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can choose a private English tutor in Rockford, IL. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Rockford, IL and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn English and what do English tutors charge?

    For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language centers and individual English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the less pricey English tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, availability and specialization. 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 demonstrate proof of your current level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and tests, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal English tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so difficult and are there ways to learn it faster?

    Standardized 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 a few hours a week you will be able to understand everyday expressions, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and easy 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 have a 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 study. The amount of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of English or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in English out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own English instructor?

    In learning centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of verified English tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

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