With a tutor, remotely

I AM - professional teacher is a native English speaker from Leeds, UK. For a long time I have worked in the financial industry, insurance, Expand and also taught English to corporate clients and students, as he received higher education in Creative Writing and Dramatic Writing at the University of Bolton After the 2008 financial crisis in the UK, I decided to change my line of business, received my CELTA certificate, which gives the right to teach English as a foreign language around the world, and began teaching foreigners in the UK. Later I worked in Poland and came to Moscow in 2010 Initially I taught in one of the largest international schools, became Director of Training, but left the position in 2013, as he felt a greater desire for teaching, rather than for managerial activity. Since then, I have focused on teaching Business English as well as preparing for international exams. professional education and many years of teaching experience, I can explain the grammatical material in all the subtleties, although I prefer a communicative teaching method. Despite the fact that I speak a little Russian, I focus in communication exclusively on English language... Thus, students are immersed in the language environment, and I can track and correct grammatical and stylistic mistakes. I also use video, audio and others Additional materials as far as possible. My hobbies include motorsport and reading, and I'm also an American football fan. In addition, I am interested in politics and world events in general, I enjoy watching films and TV shows.

Break down the language barrier

Where, if not in a class with a native speaker, can you overcome the language barrier? In lessons with an English-speaking teacher, you will not have the opportunity to switch to Russian, since the teacher simply will not understand you. During the lesson, you will completely immerse yourself in a language environment that will make you not only speak, but also think in English. It is believed that the "language barrier" is the psychological fear of making a mistake and looking stupid. With a native speaker, you can easily and discreetly solve this problem.

Learn from a real teacher

All native English speakers at our school are certified teachers with a long history of work. To become a native speaker teacher, you need not only to be born in an English-speaking environment, but also to master the teaching methodology. Therefore, we only cooperate with certified specialists who have been trained and received CELTA, TEFL or TESOL certificates, confirming the competence of the owner to teach English as a foreign language.

Master spoken English

To communicate successfully in an English-speaking environment, you need to understand not only the classical language of British textbooks, but also lively spoken language and slang. It is a native speaker who speaks the current language, is aware of all new trends and changes and will teach you a lively spoken version of English. Traveling abroad will no longer be a test for you, in addition, you will learn to understand what the characters of your favorite films and TV series are saying, what is sung in songs and what is written in modern books.

Leave the Russian accent in the past

How to recognize a Russian person abroad? The answer is unequivocal: by accent. Studying with a native speaker, you can improve and hone your pronunciation, as you will involuntarily begin to copy his intonation and manner of speaking. All inaccuracies in pronunciation will be heard by a native speaker and will help eliminate them. So, without noticing it yourself, you get rid of the accent, which often becomes the cause of misunderstanding between people.

The future is for distance learning... An increasing number of those who want to master the wisdom of foreign speech are moving from ordinary meetings with teachers to classes via the Internet. Over the past three years, the number of those who study English via Skype with native speakers or Russian-speaking teachers has grown 13 times.

Want to know what makes online classes better than regular classes and how to choose the right teacher? Read on.

Where to find a native speaker to study on Skype

Find a teacher

The first way is to find an individual tutor for whom English is native. But not everything is so simple. In addition to the fact that the teacher must know the language and be able to teach it, he must also be fluent in Russian. Finding someone who meets these requirements is not easy.

In addition, the cost of learning a foreign language with a native speaker is much higher than with local teachers, and learning from an Englishman who does not know how to teach and does not know Russian well is a terrible option, especially for beginners.

The second way is skype classes with a domestic tutor, which have many advantages:

education is cheaper than at home;
saving time;
convenient schedule;
access from anywhere in the world;
complete understanding.

Plus, this approach includes all the benefits of one-to-one homeschooling.

But, despite the convenience, this option has a drawback: it is not easy to find a qualified English teacher via Skype. You can read about how to choose a tutor with whom you can learn effectively below.

Skype Courses

Another way - group lessons via Skype with a native speaker. The disadvantage of this option is the lack of personal communication, since each student is given less time than with individual training... language can leave gaps in knowledge, which will have to be filled on their own. But, on the other hand, you are talking not with one person, but with two or four, and you learn to understand their "broken" speech. In the future, this will help to communicate with foreigners for whom English, as well as for you, is not native.

Using modern techniques and the latest techniques- this is a plus of online training in courses. You can also choose different areas of study:

for business;
for newbies;
for traveling;
for work;
spoken English.

You can also take individual lessons via Skype, the price of which will be higher than group lessons, but it is fully justified, because English classes are conducted tete-a-tete, all the teacher's attention is directed only to you.

How to choose the right tutor

In this question, pay attention to the following criteria:

The key to success in learning is still practice and the best option in this case is communication with a native speaker. In the social networks below, you can find yourself an interlocutor with your interests and hobbies, and at the same time practice your knowledge of the language. Editorial staff site has also handpicked the best resources for you to learn English, which will provide you with many valuable tips and tricks.

Language social networks

For those who have already mastered the basics of language practice, Lang-8 offers an excellent move in its simplicity. The user writes the text in the target language, after which the native speaker of the corresponding language is taken to the text, making the appropriate edits to it (or not making it, if you managed not to make a single mistake).

The web is ideal for obsessive grammar lovers or those who need to first get a sanction to speak confidently - at least to make sure everything is spelled correctly. From a purely psychological point of view, this is very correct, the main thing is to remember in time about the need to master oral practice.

Languages: there are native speakers of languages from 190 countries.

The peculiarity of the Interpals network is a huge international community, built on the principle of Facebook or any other social network, but with an emphasis on learning languages. For a quick acquaintance, you only need a basic level of language proficiency, and you don't have to look for motivation for studying outside the site, because there are so many interesting people there!

Languages:

Sharedtalk.com - social network, which can help in learning any foreign language. It is especially suitable for those who are already quite familiar with the language and want to practice with a native speaker, although this is not necessary. The site was made by perhaps the most famous manufacturer of electronic language learning systems Rosetta Stone. It is enough to register, enter the search parameters for a partner: native language and target language, and a list of suitable options will appear, indicating the country, age, gender and a short resume.

An important point! Even two.
Pay attention to the column "Native language". Sometimes it lists more than 2 languages. Often, some users include English or other languages in the list of native languages, if they just think that they speak them fluently enough. But that doesn't mean they don't make the same mistakes you do. Pay attention to the number of languages studied. If there are too many of them (for example, 5), then, most likely, the user is simply interested in them. Think how seriously he is ready to deal with each of them at the same time.

The policy of the international network Livemocha - help another, and he will help you. Exercises that cannot be verified by the program are parsed by native speakers. They do this for a reason, but in exchange for the fact that someone will then check their exercises. Whether to believe the reviews of the reviewer is a private matter for everyone, but experienced users are advised to pay attention to user ratings. Language learning is divided into several stages: each includes five lessons, which consists of four compulsory exercises: learning new vocabulary, performing exercises for what has been learned, written and oral assignments.

Note. Most of the content is free. But at the same time, the system of tokens also operates, by paying with which, the student can, for example, study individually with the teacher whom he chooses. Also for $ 9.99 a month you can buy a "golden key", which will open access to all materials.

Mylanguageexchange is a realized dream of Soviet children, an ideal service for finding a "pen pal". Only here the friend turns out not to be an arbitrary Bill from South Africa, but exactly whoever you want. Going to the site, you describe your ideal "language partner", as he is called here: indicate his native language and the language that he practices, as well as the country in which he would like to live and the approximate age of your partner. The rest is a matter of choice: choose an interlocutor you like and suitable in terms of parameters and polish your French, German or whatever else.

The site, according to the assurances of the authors, is home to about a million users from 133 countries, they learn 115 languages. When live communication gets bored, you can try to play all kinds of vocabulary games, search in local library or just switch to text chat instead of voice chat.

Languages: 115, including major European and Asian ones.

The site with the outlandish name italki offers live chats and text checking that we have already mastered. The main difference from the same Lang-8 is the ability to give professional lessons to those who wish, by recording them in the schedule and contacting at a certain time.

Note. Most of the services on italki are free. You do not need to pay for searching and communicating with language partners on the site pages. It will cost you nothing to make notes in the "Notepad" section, to receive correct answers and edits from other users. You ask your questions and get answers to them completely free of charge. Discussions in groups where you practice skills are also free. written speech with other community members. But professional teachers and community mentors charge fees for their classes. Each of them sets their own price independently. Classes are paid for with so-called italki credits (ITC). The italki credit rate is pegged to USD: 10 italki credits = USD 1.

Languages: more than 100, including the main European and Asian ones.

Interactive services

The LinguaLeo service is built according to a game method: by registering on the site, the user becomes the owner of a lion cub, whom he undertakes to feed with meatballs (which are issued for regular and effective classes), can add friends to the pride and has access to the jungle - a database of video, audio and text materials. After registration, the student must independently indicate his level of language proficiency and the time that he is ready to spend daily at the service. With the help of this data, a progress chart will be built, which will visually show the effectiveness of the sessions and their intensity.
