Learn English with an ESOL tutor in Chichester

The 70/30 rule is a teaching principle where students speak 70% of the time and listen 30%.

The logic behind 70/30 is simple but powerful:

• Active practice builds fluency: verbal practice strengthens neural pathways for spontaneous speech
• Mistakes become learning moments: real-time correction helps you fix habits before they stick
• Confidence grows through use: frequent output builds the courage to speak outside lessons

In a traditional classroom, teachers often talk 70% of the time. Private ESOL tutoring lets you flip that balance and maximise your speaking time.

A good ESOL tutor creates activities that keep you talking: role-plays, discussions, and real-life scenarios.

ESOL lessons in Chichester typically cost £19/h per hour.

Your final cost depends on these considerations:

• The student's proficiency (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• Your tutor's background (years of experience, specialist training)
• Lesson length and frequency (weekly sessions, intensive courses)
• Lesson type (video call, in-person, or hybrid)

Booking a block of lessons often reduces the hourly rate. Video lessons tend to cost less and still deliver excellent progress. It is standard practice to have an introductory lesson before you decide.

ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages. These are English classes created specifically for learners with a different mother tongue.

Private ESOL lessons work on four essential language areas:

• Reading comprehension: grasping written English in practical contexts
• Written expression: composing clear sentences, emails, and forms
• Listening: following spoken English in conversations and media
• Oral fluency: communicating clearly with colleagues and neighbours

What sets ESOL apart is its emphasis on living, working, and studying in Britain.
