      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 Zürich and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have a few key choices for learning English interactively in Zürich. 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 second spource can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can opt for a private English tutor in Zürich. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Zürich 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 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language schools and independent English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, ratings and student demand. Real student rating average 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. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and testing, so research those in advance. With personal English tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so hard and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    One-size-fits-all 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 a few hours a week you will be able to understand common phrases, speak on some level, socialize in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast 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 level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking 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 take at least 600 hours of active use. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your existing level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing 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 you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the English instructor?

    In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with video profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically give 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.
