                          Why choose Taras A.

                          "I would like to thank Taras. Since living in Germany and having to speak German most of the time, my English has deteriorated considerably. Initially, this wasn't a problem, but as the company I currently work for began to hire more and more English-speaking colleagues, problems began to arise. I struggled to take an active part in various meetings because I didn't feel confident enough to speak English. While my listening and reading comprehension was adequate, speaking and writing in English was a disaster for me. Taras has been instrumental in helping me to improve my English. I now feel much more confident speaking English in meetings and interacting with English-speaking colleagues. Another problem I faced was that I tended to speak more 'Denglish' than English. Due to the similarities between the English and German languages, I often found myself using German expressions when I intended to speak in English. Thanks to Taras' solid knowledge of both English and German, he was able to help me recognise these differences and correct the problem. Our classes were always intellectually stimulating. There were always interesting topics to discuss and I had the opportunity to write essays on fascinating subjects. Taras gave me thorough and constructive explanations for any mistakes I made in my writing or speaking. I particularly appreciated his flexibility in scheduling our lessons. If the time didn't suit me, Taras was able to suggest alternative times that better suited my schedule. Overall, I found Taras to be a very positive and respectful teacher who approaches his work with professionalism."

                          Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

                          🌆 How do I improve my English in Christchurch and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

                          Besides self-study with apps, you have several key choices for learning English interactively in Christchurch. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your 2nd spource can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can choose a private English tutor in Christchurch. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Christchurch and online English tutors.

                          🎟 Is it cheap to learn English and what does a lesson with a tutor of English cost?

                          For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for fifty or so course hours each semester. Language schools and independent English tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable English tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, availability and student demand. Average reviews for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

                          📚 How much English do I need to know to sign up for a course?

                          When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and tests, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal English tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

                          🔥 Why is English so hard and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

                          One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. Realistically, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand everyday expressions, be understood when you talk, socialize in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

                          🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of English?

                          Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will necessitate at least 600 hours of study. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in English out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational English classes online.

                          🤳 What are my options when choosing the English tutor?

                          In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of tested English tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

                          🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

                          Colleges usually offer classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
