    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 improve my English in San Rafael and what does it take in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have four key choices for learning English interactively in San Rafael. 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 cheaper.) Your other spource can be local for-profit language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can opt for a private English tutor in San Rafael. If flexibility is key, you can compare local San Rafael and online English tutors.

🎟 Is it expensive 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 price of 1/2 of a hundred lesson hours each semester. Language academies and private English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable 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 languages the tutor can teach in. Customer review average 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 prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research each program in advance. With personal English tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand most sentences, be understood when you talk, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable 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 master English?

Some people just have a 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 study. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your existing 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 news and movies, 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 this is not easy you can also take conversational English classes online.

🤳 Can I choose my own English teacher?

In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, of course! The largest selection of tested English tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

Colleges run classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually have 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.
