Private English lessons will be held by TUTOROO tutors directly and custom-made for your private learning needs. Learn English effectively with the help of a native speaking English tutor. Have fun learning a new language!
TUTOROO is a website that connects you with private, in-person language tutors. We now work with 165,000 tutors in more than 150 cities. We match genuine native speakers with people who want to enhance their conversational skills in any language at their preferred place and time.
The most difficult part in learning a foreign language is the practice, which can be acquired only by conversing with a native speaker. For people willing to practice foreign languages, it is difficult to find a private language tutor who lives or works in their city. TUTOROO has been designed to provide a frictionless experience while connecting tutors to students, for private in-person language lessons.
"I've studied with a native tutor for two months because I'm traveling this week. These classes helped me a lot! I loved TUTOROO and am already recommending it to my friends."
- Mark Bariche
"I found the perfect tutor for me, I became able to speak in another language and enjoyed meeting new people from other cultures. I've improved my language skills, without traveling abroad. Thanks TUTOROO!"
Leila Zhing
"Speaking in another language is no longer difficult with the help of a teacher. Getting corrections for your mistakes helps you continue to improve in each lesson."
Andrew Gney
Want to learn English? The internet is full of helpful resources for non-native English speakers to learn English, with materials for all levels of English students to improve their vocabulary and grammar. So why choose a private tutor?
With a private English tutor, you will be able to meet specific learning needs that online resources may not always provide. With one-on-one lessons from TUTOROO’s native language tutors, you can easily achieve English language fluency. Below are some of the benefits of learning English with a TUTOROO teacher.
One-on-one English lessons with a private English teacher allow you to have the undivided attention you deserve. Private English lessons are customised to your learning goals and to your rhythm. Perhaps you are interested specifically in Business English, Conversational English, or Kid’s English – a private English tutor can customise your English lessons to meet your needs.
When you learn English with a TUTOROO tutor, you get direct answers to all of your questions, this helps you improve your language skills faster in areas you struggle with, from pronunciation, vocabulary to other grammar issues. Private English teachers can immediately identify your mistakes and correct your inaccuracies. You get to ask direct questions when things aren’t clear and obtain immediate answers from them.
For example, for non-native English speakers, the English language can sometimes be contradictory. For example, the ‘ch’ in ‘chair’ is pronounced differently from the ‘ch’ in ‘chiffon’. The ‘th’ in ‘thumb’ is pronounced differently from the ‘th’ in ‘that’. A private English teacher can help you avoid these common pitfalls to achieve English language success and gain strong English communication skills.
In a nutshell, learning English with a TUTOROO tutor is much more fun and interesting than just watching online videos.
Everyone learns a new language at a different pace. Perhaps you are excellent at English grammar but struggle with pronunciation basics. Or perhaps you excel in conversational English but struggle with foundational reading and writing. In a group class, the tutor will move on if the majority of the class understands. With a one-on-one English lesson, not only can your private English tutor work at a pace you are comfortable with, they can adapt their teaching methods as well for you.
Unusual scheduling needs? Preparing for an English proficiency test? Need intensive English classes? No problem, you can work with your TUTOROO English tutor to find a timing and frequency that suits you. With a private English tutor, you can take classes according to your schedule. You’re 100% flexible! When you learn English with a private TUTOROO tutor, you get flexibility, customised lessons and you get to meet a bright and interesting person, your new private teacher!
The English Language is recognised as the official language in about 67 different countries. Additionally, more than 27 non-sovereign entities regularly use English as an administrative or conversational language. It is the official language of many world institutions like NATO, the European Union and the United Nations. Close to a third of the world’s population (some 2 billion people) now use English, giving it the position of a global lingua franca.
With TUTOROO you may now learn English with a private English teacher in the following locations:
The English Language is regarded as one of the most difficult languages to learn for non-native English speakers. It is a language full of contradictions: grammatical rules are often broken, spelling and pronunciation irregularities can confuse even native speakers. With the help of a private English teacher, you can overcome the difficulties of the English language and achieve full English language fluency.
As a non-native English speaker, many higher education schools or universities where English is the standard language of teaching will require you to take an English proficiency test. This test is proof of your English language ability and ensures you have the necessary oral, aural and writing skills to complete your course. Don’t let a language barrier stop you from achieving your dreams. Hire a private English language tutor to help you prepare for your English proficiency test. The two most common tests are the TOEFL or IELTS:
TOEFL (The Test of English as a Foreign Language)
TOEFL is the most common English proficiency test. There are two formats for writing TOEFL and you can choose your preferred format: an internet-based test or a paper-delivered test. The sections in the test include listening comprehension, written expression, reading comprehension and speaking. The test takes about 3 hours to complete and the result is valid for two years. Most universities require that you score between 90 to 100 (B2). However, some universities may require that you attain a minimum score in each section while meeting the B2 proficiency requirement.
IELTS (The International English Language Testing System)
IELTS is another widely recognised English proficiency test. The test has two versions which are the academic version and the general training version. Most employers and universities worldwide accept the academic version, while the general training version is accepted by government institutions and used for immigration. The first 3 sections of the IELTS – listening, reading and writing– lasts 2 hours 40 mins. The last component is a speaking test done in the presence of an examiner. IELTS scores range between 1 and 9 with universities requiring a minimum of 6 or 7. The minimum score is equivalent to C1 and B2 proficiency levels. You can get your IELTS results 13 days after the test and the result is valid for two years.
CAE (Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English) and CPE (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English)
Although not as common as IELTS or TOEFL, CAE and CPE are often an admission requirement for UK universities. Usually, only people at an advanced English level can take CAE and CPE. They are in-depth, high-level qualifications which demonstrate an English proficiency level of C1 – 7 to 8 in IELTS or 110 to 120 in TOEFL. You can take CAE and CPE either on your computer or in person. Like the other tests, the CAE and CPE test reading, writing, listening and speaking. The speaking section of the test will be done with another candidate to test fluency in face-to-face situations. Unlike TOEFL and IELTS, CAE and CPE certificates don't expire. The highest grade is an A and the lowest score in CAE and CPE is C, with most universities requiring a minimum of B for admission.
TUTOROO works with many English tutors who are available and specialised in training for some of these tests. By browsing our English private tutor profiles, you will be able to find tutors who specialise in test preparation for English proficiency tests. You are also able to contact the tutor directly with any queries, and choose the private English tutor that best fits your needs.
TUTOROO only hires tutors that get the work done. By this, we mean that learners and students pass their English proficiency test after being coached by a TUTOROO private tutor.
This must be our most popular question! With the help of a teacher and with private English lessons, learning English is much easier, quicker and more enjoyable. Of course, being motivated and focused comes in handy when learning a new language. With both online or face-to-face lessons and if you have the motivation to study a couple of hours every day, a private English teacher will help you become fluent in English in as little as 6 months!
Be patient, fluency in English is not something anyone acquires overnight. The process takes time and requires enthusiasm, that’s why hiring a private tutor that can customise your English lessons to your interests and needs is important. Furthermore, face-to-face and online English lessons give you an opportunity to converse and practise your newly acquired English language skills.
Being motivated and focused comes in handy when you're learning a new language. If you have enough time to study English with a private tutor, you can become fluent in just around six months as long as you study it a couple hours a day.
In addition to studying with a TUTOROO tutor, you may want to try to get fully immersed as well once you start speaking English fluently. Being around native English speakers allows you to practise language skills you've learnt. You can also read English books, watch English speaking movies and listen to the news in English.
Interestingly, the English language isn't the most spoken one in the world, although there are over 400 million native English speakers around the planet. English is the third most spoken language - right behind Spanish and Mandarin.
Speaking English has many advantages:
