Most people want or need to "learn a new language" and that appears on most bucket lists, even in 2019!

While some want to learn a foreign language for new or better job prospectives, others simply are driven by their passion for linguistics.

Various online language teaching platforms now exist and one has plenty of options to learn a new language as there are new apps and websites coming up every year.

While many language learning apps and free YouTube tutorials are available to anyone, opting for private offline lessons might still be one of the best ways to learn a foreign language such as English, Malay, Chinese, Portuguese, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Spanish, or even Korean!

Why Private Lessons are Better than Language Learning Apps and Free Tutorials

Before we proceed any further, we're totally not saying that language apps or YouTube tutorials are inefficient when it comes to learning new languages. It’s just that other intricacies can help make the experience of learning English, for example, more effective.

You may know a lot of people who downloaded several popular language apps and were even making progress until they weren’t.

How to Make the Most of Your Private Language Lessons

While it’s true that your private tutor's reliability and efficiency will play an essential role in your learning experience, you, as a student, have to put in the effort to learn and master new language skills.

You will probably want to practice once to twice a week, perhaps even every day after meeting with your tutor, and to make sure to do the extra homework that's necessary to master the new language you are learning. Dedicating as little as 30 minutes a day to your new language skills will make a difference and help you become fluent sooner than you could have imagined. Make sure to respect your schedule with the tutor you will have chosen to meet once or twice a week through the TUTOROO platform. Remember that their time is as valuable as yours!

Here are a few tips on selecting a private TUTOROO tutor:

  • Choose a Tutor You’re Comfortable With
