In recent years, the number of people who want to "improve" their child in English is growing. The number of tutors is also growing. Unfortunately, not all of them can boast of effective methods. However, they ask for a fee for classes - and, as a rule, rather big. How to find the very tutor who will really "pull up" and teach?
There are students who go through the textbook for several units (or parts) in advance. And then in the classroom they suffer - they get bored. They have already gone through everything with a tutor. True, that teacher used exclusively a textbook. In the best case - an additional benefit to it. There is not much sense from such activities. After all, the child will go through the same material in a couple of weeks with the school teacher. Does it make sense to give money for something that after a while will still be studied?
Currently, there are a huge number of great English-language textbooks (Family and Friends, Friends, Playway to English, etc.). Studying them with a tutor, the student will consolidate the school curriculum and learn a lot besides it.
Yes, there are plenty of ads on the Web where the merits of teachers are colorfully painted. But first try to ask your friends if they have a teacher who "pulled Mashenka up perfectly last year" or "finally made Vitenka talk."
There is nothing shameful about that. A person who has a higher education diploma (as well as certificates of passing international exams) will present it without any questions. If you ask politely, of course. So the risk of running into a non-professional is reduced significantly, and you save precious time and money.
Namely, he prepares additional tasks if the child needs them. Selects topics of interest to the student, audio and video recordings. Why would you need a tutor who opens a textbook and does all the exercises in a row? It is unlikely that such exercises will be 100 percent effective.
You will probably have to change more than one teacher before you find “the one”.
