Why You Need Help at This Stage

Poor quality language teaching is not always obvious.

You can feel bored, patronised and frustrated – but blame yourself as a ‘bad learner’.

Substandard language tuition is also when you are not given opportunities to grow a bond with the culture.

Unfortunately, most people have experienced a bad English class (to the point it shapes their expectations of what adult learning should be!).

For too long, the industry standard was to squeeze individuals into ill-fitting courses (and uncomfortable classrooms), marching them through increasingly complex grammar structures – without taking time for the language to come alive.

It suits administrators to get measurable ‘progress’.

Growing with Learning

Language growth is more than memorising vocabulary and grammar.

It happens when you add this new part of you into your life or work.

And it happens when your heart and mouth speak without a negative voice in your brain.

You might believe that is only for the future (when you have ‘mastered’ English), but it can begin with every word spoken now.

We know which online English teachers know this too, and which can help you best.

The Online Revolution

Online English teaching is nothing short of a revolution, getting affordable English education alternatives to folks who need it.

No longer do big multinational language schools control the market, pouring corporate culture over language (and even ‘Englishness is superior’ attitudes). 

Across the internet, there are passionate people, uniquely skilled at helping you reach your English goals.

Such people are independent ELT teachers/coaches.

Great Options – But Too Much Choice to Navigate Alone

Here are just some of the choices you’ll need to make.

• Place

  You can work with teachers anywhere around the globe if you are interested in learning with a certain accent or culture, or in a particular time-zone.

• Subject

  From English for Accountants to English for Zoology, you can choose English for a Specific Purpose if you most need career-related English.

• Skills

  Alternatively, break down your English into skills: work with a pronunciation coach who will build your overall confidence, or gain fluency through a conversation club.

• Passions

  Some online teachers build courses around hobbies like reading books, watching films and cooking.

• Life Changes

  Others teachers offer English courses designed for specific life changes, like moving to the UK, having a baby, getting married in Scotland, or retiring.

• Schedules

  There are 2-minute-a-day English, weekly English and month-long English courses.

• Methodology

  Some English teachers only teach from course books – and just as many which never open a book at all. There’s a load of potential platforms to work from (and various ways of mixing the best of each method in one course) (this is called a blended course).

  There are even ways to simulate culturally immersive language learning online – (BTW that’s our speciality).
