Learn English with an ESOL tutor in South Woodham Ferrers

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: your tutor corrects errors as you speak, so feedback is immediate
• Confidence grows through use: regular speaking practice reduces anxiety about real conversations

In a traditional classroom, teachers often talk 70% of the time. One-to-one lessons allow you to be the main speaker throughout.

Quality ESOL sessions use conversation prompts, simulations, and open questions to keep you engaged.

• Lesson type (online, face-to-face at home, or at the tutor's location)
