Learn English with an ESOL tutor in Three Crosses

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: verbal practice strengthens neural pathways for spontaneous speech
• Mistakes become learning moments: instant guidance prevents fossilised mistakes
• Confidence grows through use: the more you talk, the more natural English feels

Many courses put the teacher centre stage, which limits student practice. 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 Three Crosses typically cost £15/h per hour.

This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• Your current English level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (years of experience, specialist training)
• Lesson length and frequency (one-hour or ninety-minute lessons)
• The format (video call, in-person, or hybrid)

Booking a block of lessons often reduces the hourly rate. Online ESOL lessons can also be more affordable while offering the same quality. Most tutors offer a first session at no charge to ensure a good fit.

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

Private ESOL lessons work on four essential language areas:

• Reading comprehension: decoding texts for daily life, work, and study
• Written expression: producing accurate written communication
• Listening skills: processing spoken language in natural settings
• Oral fluency: communicating clearly with colleagues and neighbours

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