There is no doubt that with The Anglophones you will trouver votre chaussure à son pied among la crème de la crème! Well, but how do you say that in English? Soon, the English expressions and all of the subtleties of the language will no longer be a secret to you!

The English language, cultural and intellectual wealth

English is the international language, the language of business and administration; and it is also the language most used on the Internet. Mastering English means seizing the opportunity to open up the world, it means opening a number of doors both at the personal and professional level.

In school, English is often taught as a living language. French students can start early on by listening to English songs, skimming through books in English, looking at images to learn vocabulary words, and discover the basics thanks to beginner lessons; basics such as reading the time, counting, or presenting oneself. By being exposed to English at a young age, you have better chances at mastering pronunciation and speaking with a good accent.

Later on, in elementary school, middle school, and high school, either as a primary or a secondary language, English may be part of the education for all of the French students. Conjugation, grammar, vocabulary—English lessons are numerous. And deriving from Germanic roots, these lessons are less discernible to comprehend for a French (for French is a Latin-stemmed dialect) than for a German or a Dutch, for example. Moreover, in France, the teaching of English in schools is concentrated to only two to three hours per week. Even if the lessons extend over several years, the level of English in the end is not always satisfactory. Oral comprehension, written comprehension, expression: one must master all of these skills to reach a sufficient level in order to launch into an active life, and working in English is not an easy feat.

Knowing English and speaking fluently also permits one to travel with more ease, to meet people from all four corners of the world, and to discover new cultures—and not just the English culture. It allows for the enrichment, flourishing, and increase of your brain’s capacities. Various studies have proven that bilingualism (even more so trilingualism or multilingualism) preserves one’s mental health and improves it in general. Acquiring multiple languages can have preventive, long term effects on the brain, reducing the risk of cognitive decline and illnesses such as Alzheimer’s.

Seven good reasons to take private English lessons

How could you become bilingual in English or achieve your goal of passing the TOEIC or TOEFL exam? What is the best method, what is the cost, what are the constraints, and finally, what would be the result and your English level after your learning? A vast subject, isn’t it? And with the internet’s abundant offers, it is easy to get lost and choose the wrong options.

Learning English can be done in a variety of ways, but private tutoring has many advantages … especially when the courses are taught by trained, certified, native anglophone instructors!

Reason number 1: Private lessons with an English teacher permit you to evolve at your own pace without having to wait for your peers or, on the contrary, without feeling left behind. You can advance according to your level and set up your lessons in line with your schedule.

Reason number 2: Private courses with an English teacher are developed according to your needs and your goals. Business English, test preparation (TOEFL, TOEIC, BULATS), focus on oral expression, introduction to new vocabulary and grammar, working on perfecting the pronunciation and the accent… you can concentrate your courses to work on only what you want with a personalized program.

Reason number 3: Private courses with an English teacher are adapted to your level. Teaching methods can differ depending on whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner. Often, they are more interactive and engaging for beginners, whereas for students at an intermediate level, the grammar exercises and conversations are more complex. For those at a more advanced level, the instructor may focus more on text analysis and composition writing.

Reason number 4: Private English courses with a native anglophone teacher allows you to work on oral expression and to master the accent. In fact, it is less stressful and much easier to express yourself one-on-one with a welcoming tutor than in front of an entire class.

Reason number 5: Private courses with a native English teacher offers you the possibility to learn and understand the linguistic nuances and the encompassed culture.

Reason number 6: Private English lessons for academic support provide the opportunity to focus more on your weaknesses and be introduced to material that has not yet been taught because it is often not included in generic courses. With true pedagogy, our instructors lead their students to question their roadblocks and shortcomings in order so that they will be able to correct them and reach the next level quicker.

Reason number 7: Private English courses permit you to progress more rapidly than you would learning with an online program, in a school, or with an association, for example. Therefore, only reducing the cost of your lessons.

English courses that stand out from other online resources

It's tempting, isn't it; to think that in a few clicks, you can explore all English teaching resources for free or for a small fee? Online training courses are abundant on the web: the demand is just as high as the stakes. Speaking English today has become a skill almost as critical as mastering your mother tongue and the basics of mathematics. As such, there are numerous companies offering content online, but is this how you learn or improve your English? Experience and all the studies carried out on language learning leave no room for doubt: learning one tearequires practicing it methodically and regularly. Does training online allow for this? Will you maintain your motivation? Could online training correct your mistakes or check your pronunciation? Will you assimilate new vocabulary words without a teacher there for you to explain how they are used? Will you choose the correct training suited for your level? These questions are completely rhetorical for us!
