      Why choose Amanda M.
      "She is an awesome tutor! She has put a lot of work into getting to know preply's platform and using all the tools available for teaching, like the whiteboard, vocabulary section, homework, etc... and that is very useful! Also, I told her about an American singer-songwriter I had recently discovered and liked, and she prepared an exercise where we did a "song dictation" exercise. She had everything organized (video, lyrics, etc...) in the dashboard, so we didn't have to lose time looking for the video or anything. It was super cool! Also, it was interesting to listen to that kind of music with her because we talked about some poetic licenses American singers do in songs (like double negations) and pronunciation tricks, etc... I really loved having a class with Amanda and would recommend her 100% :) "

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my English in Stony Brook, NY and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have four principal options for learning English interactively in Stony Brook, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your 2nd resource can be local private 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. Finally, you can choose a private English tutor in Stony Brook, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Stony Brook, NY and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn English and what are the ballpark lesson costs for English tutors?

    For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for fifty or so instruction hours each semester. Language centers and individual 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 rates on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience 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 pass a few pre-requisites. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal English tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from many 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. 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 words, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and affordable 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 level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 Can I choose my own English teacher?

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

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

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