Learn English with an ESOL tutor in Sturry

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

Why this matters for language learning:

• 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.

ESOL lessons in Sturry typically cost £15/h per hour.

This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• 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 (one-hour or ninety-minute lessons)
• The format (video call, in-person, or hybrid)

Some teachers provide lower rates for regular weekly commitments. Online ESOL lessons can also be more affordable while offering the same quality. It is standard practice to have an introductory lesson before you decide.

ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages. It describes courses designed for adults whose first language is not English.

An ESOL tutor helps students develop four core skills:

• Reading: grasping written English in practical contexts
• Written expression: producing accurate written communication
• Listening skills: understanding native speakers in various accents
• Oral fluency: building conversational confidence for daily interactions

Unlike general English courses, ESOL focuses on practical integration into UK life, work, and education.
