Learn English with an ESOL tutor in Exeter

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

Here is why this balance accelerates progress:

• Active practice builds fluency: speaking out loud trains your brain to form sentences quickly
• Mistakes become learning moments: real-time correction helps you fix habits before they stick
• Confidence grows through use: the more you talk, the more natural English feels

Standard lessons usually reverse this ratio, with instructors dominating. One-to-one lessons allow you to be the main speaker throughout.

Effective tutors design tasks that prompt continuous speaking, from everyday dialogues to workplace situations.

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

Prices differ based on a few key elements:

• Your current English level (Entry Level, Level 1, or Level 2)
• Your tutor's background (years of experience, specialist training)
• Lesson length and frequency (weekly sessions, intensive courses)
• Lesson type (online, face-to-face at home, or at the tutor's location)

Many tutors offer discounted packages if you book multiple sessions upfront. Video lessons tend to cost less and still deliver excellent progress. A free trial lesson is common, so you can check compatibility before committing.

ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages. It covers English courses aimed at non-native speakers.

An ESOL tutor helps students develop four core skills:

• Reading: decoding texts for daily life, work, and study
• Written expression: producing accurate written communication
• Listening: following spoken English in conversations and media
• Speaking: expressing ideas confidently in everyday situations

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