Learn English with an ESOL tutor in Staverton

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: frequent output builds the courage to speak outside lessons

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.

Private ESOL tuition in Staverton averages £13/h per session.

Prices differ based on a few key elements:

• Your current English level (Entry Level, Level 1, or Level 2)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (years of experience, specialist training)
• How often you study (weekly sessions, intensive courses)
• The format (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. It covers English courses aimed at non-native speakers.

An ESOL tutor helps students develop four core skills:

• Reading: grasping written English in practical contexts
• Written expression: producing accurate written communication
• Listening: processing spoken language in natural settings
• Oral fluency: communicating clearly with colleagues and neighbours

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